It was very simple, and I thank all those who pointed me in the right
direction.

Once you define a print queue via jetadmin, a file is created named
"/etc/lp/printers/<<QUEUE_NAME>>/configuration".  The contents are as
follows:

      Banner: on
      Content types: simple
      Device: /dev/eng_ls
      Interface: /usr/lib/lp/model/hpnpl/net_ljx000
      Printer type: unknown
      Modules:
      Options: landscape

Simply place the desired options on the "options" line.  Curiously enough
"Banner: on" is the setting you get whether you request a banner page or
not.

Probably simple, but I'm just not finding it...

I have installed HP Jetdirect on Solaris8 and created a queue for a HP
LJ4050N.  This works just fine.

I wish to create multiple queues with different default characteristics.
i.e. if the primary queue is named "foo", i wish to have a queue called
"foo-portrait" that defaults to portrait, or "foo-2p" which prints 2 pages
per page, etc.

How do I do this?  lpfilter looks promising (almost).

I realize that users can specify options via lp, but I want to create
specific queues for simplicity.

Thanks in advance,
--Jim
