# ⚠️ Important reality check
|
||
|
||
Not all printers support all options. The **real supported ones** come from:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
lpoptions -p PRINTER_NAME -l
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
That command is gold—use it.

If you want, tell me your **printer model**, and I’ll give you a *perfect command tuned to it* (no guessing, no trial and error).
