David, thanks for your response. I have tried -f option on lpr and get the following :
# lpr -P Printer_name -f print.test2 lpr: warning - 'f' format modifier not supported - output may not be correct! Tried searching for more information on lpr filtering and ANSI but didn't come up with anything to do as we want. Any further assistance is much appreciated.

Try -f on the lpr command. You can define sets of CUPS options and use them similar to a form code, but AFAIK, there isn't a autodetect for rotation. You could easily write one as a filter; the CUPS code provides sufficient exits to allow it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 Please Note: This email and its contents are subject to our email legal notice which can be viewed at http://www.sars.gov.za/Email_Disclaimer.pdf ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
