To find out all the options supported for your printer:

lpoptions  -p YourPrinterName -l

Have a look at the man entry for lpoptions.  The * indicates the current
default options.  On its own lpoptions shows the defaults for your
printer.

Looking at the printer properties (System > Administration > Printing)
may help you work out what they all mean.

Hope that helps
