I thought about this a bit more and in fact we have a file that can sort
of function as configuration file for you, as a minimum you can insert
the -l you need:
Have a look in
/usr/share/libgnomeprint/2.4.2/models/GNOME-GENERIC-PS.xml
of course the version number in the path may vary.
There you will find a section:
<Item Id="custom">
<Name>Custom</Name>
<Key Id="Module" Value="libgnomeprint-custom.so" />
<Option Id="Command" Default="lpr" Type="String" />
</Item>
If you insert -l behind the lpr on the fourth line, then it will
automatically appear in the dailog.
I cannot test it but you may want to try to add a text like
<Item Id="fac">
<Name>Fac</Name>
<Key Id="Module" Value="libgnomeprint-custom.so" />
<Option Id="Command" Default="lpr -l -Pfac" Type="String" />
</Item>
immediately following the above custom entry, this will give you another
choice which may (untested!) print using lpr -l -Pfac.
good luck
Andreas
