hi guys,

is there any way how to override printer settings from xpp, lpr or
another frontend? we are printing through cups server...

what i want to accomplish? currently, any settings i make in, e.g., xpp
(long/short edge, duplex on/off, number of pages per sheet of paper,
...) are ignored and our printers print it according to their settings.
from windoze clients the print dialog act as expected...

i would be very grateful for any hints how to accomplish this. having to
move to windoze machine every time i (and my colleagues as well) need to
print more complex 'layout' is annoying...

"lpoptions" should always work to set options for CUPS printers. You can
check with "lpoptions -l" what is known/available.

(I am not 100% sure whether I understood your problem correctly.)
