How will this work when lp doesn't seem to use options nb, l, and c in
Linux?

Two comments.

First, simply create an alias in your .bashrc file like,
say:

alias print ="lp -dprinter -onb -ol -oc".
Type source .bashrc.
Type 'alias'  Your new alias should show up.  Use it wherever you'd use
the above lp command.

Or, look at man enscript for more robust ideas.  Again, the alias will
be your friend for frequently used, obscure command line syntax.
