I'm trying to print an image from the command line, using lpr, but it ends up printing 4 pages instead of just one. Is there a way to tell lpr to fit the image to the page?

Old thread, but the option -o fit-to-page works.

    Note that as of CUPS 2.1, the legacy option -o fitplot (CUPS 1.3) still seems to work.

I solved using the scaling option:

lpr -o scaling=100 image.jpg
