Oh, I see. Yes, that prints portrait but it doesn't explain why "lpr image.jpg" 
prints landscape.

The cups Users Manual under orientation only shows how to print landscape: "lpr 
-o landscape". I therefore assumed analogously that you could use "portrait" 
obviously without effect and "landscape=false" wasn't even mentioned. Maybe I 
should print a new version of that manual. Anyway "lpr image.jpg" does print 
landscape so apparently that option has been set as a default. I just wonder 
where that may be. Perhaps hardcoded somewhere. I swapped the Laserjet.ppd file 
with the earlier version to no avail. Under System -> Administration -> Printing 
orientation is set to "Portrait (no rotation)" which I believe should be the 
default value.

What can I do more?
