Set Orientation using LPR/LPD Codes when printing from a Unix System

Setting the Orientation:

The ”-o landscape” option will rotate the page 90 degrees to print in landscape orientation:

• lp -o landscape filename
  

• lpr -o landscape filename
  

The ”-o orientation-requested=N” option rotates the page depending on the value of N:

• -o orientation-requested=3
  

• portrait orientation (no rotation)
  

•  -o orientation-requested=4
  

• landscape orientation (90 degrees)
  

• -o orientation-requested=5
  

• reverse landscape or seascape orientation (270 degrees)
  

• -o orientation-requested=6

• reverse portrait or upside-down orientation (180 degrees)
