10.2.5 How Can I Pass Options to 'lpr'
--------------------------------------

     How can I tell 'a2ps' to ask 'lpr' no to print the banner?

     How can I pass specific options to 'lp'?

   If your 'Printer:' fields in the configuration files were properly
filled (Note: Your Printers), you can use the variable 'lp.options' to
pass options to 'lpr' (or 'lp', depending on your environment):

     a2ps -Dlp.options="-h -s" -P printer

You can also define 'lp.options' once for all, Note: Defining
Variables.

   Finally, you can use 'Printer:' several times to reach a printer with
different 'lpr' options.
