Thank you, Jürgen!
Your explanation about the quotes was *very* helpful. *Very* grateful
for that! Your response demonstrates a model of interaction which
others could emulate to arrive at solutions faster, with less forum "chaff"!
I now have it working as I desired, using:
* set
printoptions=paper:letter,portrait:n,duplex:off,number:y,syntax:y,wrap:y,left:2pc,right:2pc,top:2pc,bottom:2pc
I was sure I had seen examples with the quotes, and that is why I was
using them. Now, I know differently!

Here you are not setting landscape mode.
the bigger problem with this line -- and all the other lines -- is that there
are no values
assigned to the options. The parts on the right side of the equal sign are
comments, not
strings. As a result all those "values" would clear the respective options.
Don't use double quotes around option values. And neither use single quote;
they wouldn't
do what you'd expect either. String options don't need any quote symbol around
their values.
And if you need to include a space in the option's value escape it with a
backslash.
Regards,
Jürgen
