lpoptions not available

[PhilMan2006]

I am using a Red Hat Enterprise Linux V.4 update 8 with a HP Jet Direct and a HP4100 on port 9100.

The problem: I am having difficulty getting my printers to print the same as on the HP-UX server. I would like to specify Font Type, Font Size, etc. to allow my documents to print the way I am accustomed. On the HP-UX server I could specify the commands in the /etc/lp/interface/model.orig

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions on the type of driver to use along with the specific settings I could/should be using. Or maybe even a web address that specifies lptoptions that I would like to use. I have searched on options and cannot locate what I am looking for.

Thanks!

Let me add that I want the settings to be global and consistent.

Thanks!

Perhaps the following will shed some light (I have never used lpoption, so I may be off):

Try this command

firefox %u

You should get the graphical cups interface

MRRegan,

I am using CUPS and the settings/options are still not available.

Ben,

I will read your links and see what I can find out.

Thanks to both of you for responding and I will update my post after the fact.
