Glad you now have printing to your satisfaction, but the "-o portrait" option is bothering because neither the manual page for lp (which has the same function as lpr) nor the online documentation (localhost:631) mention it. It also doesn't appear to be in the source code of cups-filters. Where did you get it from? lpr -o landscape=false -o cpi=17 -P POS58 /var/www/receipt.txt is what could be used for portrait orientation. Anyway, be that as it may, you can save yourself some typing by doing lpoptions -p POS58 -o landscape=false -o cpi=17 This creates a file ~/.cups/lpoptions (/etc/cups/lpoptions if done as root) which is read by any application using cups, including lp and lpr. It is now sufficient to type lpr -P POS58 /var/www/receipt.txt Even this can be shortened to lpr /var/www/receipt.txt by setting POS58 as your default printer: lpoptions -d POS58 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
