I don't know about terse. Chapters 3 and 4 of the CUPS Software Users
Manual tells you all one needs to know about using lpoptions to set
options. However, you need to read the two chapters together.

through the CUPS web interface (localhost:631) , then go to the printer
and use the configuration tab.
