They are listed in the `pr's man page, and you already told here that you understood what switches you want, so I'm puzzled why you cannot continue. > What value is placed in this field to be passed to "pr"? If you want to invoke `pr' like this: pr -x foo -y bar then the value of lpr-headers-switches should be the list ("-x" "foo" "-y" "bar") > There is no explanation of this in the manual, as far as I can find. The doc string of lpr-headers-switches says that it is a list of strings.
