You should probably say how you're trying to do that, and what with.
For example: lpr -o portrait image.jpg

There is no such option with the CUPS filters. Try:

lpr -o landscape=false image.jpg

Oh, I see. Yes, that prints portrait but it doesn't explain why "lpr image.jpg" prints landscape.

The cups Users Manual under orientation only shows how to print landscape: "lpr -o landscape". I therefore assumed analogously that you could use "portrait" obviously without effect and "landscape=false" wasn't even mentioned. Maybe I should print a new version of that manual. Anyway "lpr image.jpg" does print landscape so apparently that option has been set as a default. I just wonder where that may be. Perhaps hardcoded somewhere. I swapped the Laserjet.ppd file with the earlier version to no avail. Under System -> Administration -> Printing orientation is set to "Portrait (no rotation)" which I believe should be the default value.

What can I do more?
