Quoting directly from printcap(5):
The if filter is invoked with arguments:
if [-c] -wwidth -llength -iindent -n login -h host acct-file
The -c flag is passed only if the -l flag (pass control characters
literally) is specified to lpr(1). width and length specify the page
width and length (from pw and pl, respectively) in characters. The
-n and -h parameters specify the login name and host name
of the owner of the job, respectively. The acct-file function
is passed from the af printcap entry.
I don't think there is some other way to pass any more Postscript options
in your lpr line that would get to the if script (foomatic). You can run
a script (if = foomatic) and give it an argument (af = PPD),
but I think that's all.
