To print certain pages of a document lpr -o page-ranges=5-10 To print double-sided lpr -o sides=two-sided-long-edge To specify paper size lpr -o media=a4 To force landscape printing lpr -o landscape However, this sometimes cuts parts of the document off and makes it not fill the whole page (but with the correct orientation).
