lp $1 -d photo -o scaling=$2 Now, the command: photoprint filename ##where filename is the name of the file that I want to print, and ## is the percentage of the page to use.
This allows me to print fullpage with: photoprint filename 100or any other percentage that I want. According to the manpage, using '200' for the percentage will print across 4 pages (2 x 2). The "-d photo" sends the output to the printer configured through CUPS to print at higher resolution and colordepth than I normally use so that I can get good image prints when I need them, but not waste time and ink for my normal printing.
I have not tried printing at more than 100%, but it works perfectly at 50% and 25%.
