The document prints OK from windows but Linux drivers are not up to standard :-/

I'm trying lpr but the following command does not print the pages I want, it prints all pages instead of 1-8

lpr -o media=Letter -o landscape -o number-up=4 -o page-ranges=1-8 -o number-up-layout=btlr 

I think "-o number-up=4" can not be combine with: "-o page-ranges=1-8"
