Bug#791876: lpr -H parameter ignored if passed as first

[Stefano <rs4000@gmail.com>]

Uhm. "-d" option does not exit. "-h" suppresses the banner. I don't understand your request...

$ lpstat -t

scheduler is running

no system default destination

lpstat: No destinations added.

lpstat: No destinations added.

lpstat: No destinations added.

lpstat: No destinations added.

In fact I have no local printers on this machine.

I honestly didn't know order of options matters in this case, maybe this is a feature and not a bug? :)

Not reproducible here with a 2.0.3 client sending to 2.0.3 and Wheezy
servers. I expect your result is the same with

  lpr -h 172.16.5.20 -d lexmark-t652-1

Please post the client's 'lpstat -t' output.

Upstream has said a few times that the order of options matters.
