lp options with HPLIP

Asked by grenergy

Looking for similar options that were used with JetAdmin

With Jetadmin we used the following:

lp -d printer -o landscape -ofp13 -ovsi5.90

From the net_generic manpage /opt/hpnpl/man/man1

      vsi#, hsi# Set the vertical and horizontal spacing to #
 fp# Set the font pitch to # characters per inch

Now with CUPS and HPLIP I can't seem to find a manpage similar to this that gives similar options. Can someone point me to a doc that has this or a manpage in CUPS/HPLIP that would show me these options to pass?

TIA

man lpr

Also, you can use hp-toolbox to set "sticky" options and set a couple of job
options using hp-print.

man lpr doesn't give anything obvious, I'm looking for all available options as the Jetadmin net_generic manpage showed all these options

hp-print requries GUI support - no thanks

hp-toolbox doesn't exist with this build
