I'm trying to print an image from Max to my photo printer. At the moment, I'm using the 'shell' external to send messages to my printer, and I can connect and print just fine. However, with the photo printer, there are many different options in the print dialogue box that I can to be able to control.

So at the moment I have this message going into 'shell' - "lp -d Canon_MG5200_series /Users/matthewperryman/Desktop/screen.png". But that just prints the default settings. I want to be able to change the paper size, orientation, scale to fit etc etc. After having a quick google I found that I can change the paper size using this message " lp -d “my_printer_name” -o media=A4 ~/my_folder/*.pdf" but does any one know the code for the other settings?
