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.

It's because you have either a user default or a system default for the
landscape option. (You mentioned you had checked the system default in
your message, and that it was set to Portrait -- but I will include the
method for checking that again here for the benefit of others reading
this thread.)

To see if it is a user default, run 'lpoptions -p queuename' -- it will
show the list of user defaults for that printer. To change those
defaults, use the lpoptions command (e.g. lopoptions -p queuename -r
landscape').

To sef if it is a system default, start the
System->Administration->Printing tool and select the printer. Go to the
Job Options tab and look at the Orientation option (under 'Common
Options').

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.

The 'landscape' option is a true/false (Boolean) type. '-o landscape'
is the same as '-o landscape=true'.
