I am looking for a resource to list the options that are available
following the -o option in Linux lp printing. I know some of the
options but not even close to all of them (eg. lp -dtst_hp2200 -otray2
-oportrait will print to the printer tst_hp2200 in portrait format out
of tray 2).

The man pages barely even touch on the option. Can anyone help me to
find all the different options that can be set by the -o option?

Thank you,
Todd Nelson
