Basic Options

Get the name of the printer

lpstat -p

Get the options:

lpoptions -p DCP1510 -l

Print:

lp -d DCP1510 file.pdf

Double sided with a non duplex printer:

lp -d DCP1510 -o page-set=odd file.pdf
lp -d DCP1510 -o page-set=even file.pdf

Flip the order so once the odd pages are printed, you print from the last even pages:

lp -d DCP1510 -o page-set=even -o outputorder=reverse file.pdf

Skip the first two page:

lp -d DCP1510 -o page-ranges=3- file.pdf

Select the resolution:

lp -d DCP1510 -o Resolution=2400x600dpi file.pdf

Printing a book

Combining all the options above:

$ lp -d DCP1510 -o page-set=odd -o page-ranges=3-98 -o Resolution=2400x600dpi book.pdf
$ lp -d DCP1510 -o page-set=even -o page-ranges=3-98 -o Resolution=2400x600dpi -o outputorder=reverse book.pdf

This will first print the odd page and then the even page in reverse order. The cover (front and back) will be ignored.
