Best practice for CUPS-less foomatic use?
I'm currently using foomatic-rip with lpd(8) for standard print, but find myself using foomatic-rip directly, without spooling, when I need to set a print option such as papersize or InputPort (tray). I am not using apsfilter, which uses lpr(1)'s -C option to pass print options, as I am using the printer vendor's supplied PPD file with Foomatic. I am wondering how others are managing print options with Postscript printers.

If I remember correctly, you can use lpr's -J option to pass options to foomatic-rip. Regards André

Thank you, Andre'. I haven't found that the -J option works for me. OTOH, the foomatic-rip -o operand does work with print options when printing directly. /etc/rc.conf.local contains: lpd_flags= /etc/printcap is: lp|printer:\ :lp=:rm=printer:\ :af=/etc/foomatic/hp-lj_300_400_color_m351_m451-ps.ppd:\ :if=/usr/local/bin/foomatic-rip:\ :sh:mx#0:\ :sd=/var/spool/output:\ :lf=/var/log/lpd-errs: I'm using a recent snapshot that includes patch 1.52 to usr.sbin/lpr/lpd/printjob.c for remote lpd: kern.version=OpenBSD 5.5-beta (GENERIC.MP) #239: Fri Feb 21 02:38:36 MST 2014 dera...@i386.openbsd.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC.MP

To be clear, the symptom is that -J option=value has no effect. No errors or warnings are produce in lpd-errs.
