No, but I just read the lpr man page, and it just says that you can  
set a job option with -o, but there is no mention of what job options  
are available.  But the -p option may help.  I'll have to try it  
tomorrow when I'm back at work.

Very interesting, I had not noticed that.  Thanks for pointing it  
out.  I'm learning new things about printing on Linux every day.  For  
now, I think we'll just use enscript to work around this issue.
