My .lproptions for my HP970Cxi only contains:
Default hp_dup orientation-requested=6
Is that why I have to continuously tell it for every printing
application invocation that I wish to use:
A4 paper not Letter,
kprinter -stdin not lpr(<great long string>),
no collate & reverse output not collate & don't reverse?
How do I set up these choices since CUPS forgets to?
