lpr -o page-ranges=1 is still printing all three pages

Question

I need to make lpr print just the first page of my document, however it continues to print everything. Itried these commands:

lpr -P <myprinter> -o page-ranges=1 <myfile>
lp -d <myprinter> -o page-ranges=1 <myfile>
lp -d <myprinter> P 1 <myfile>

Answer 1

Appears it would be: lp -p 1

(plus whatever else you'll need to pass to lp to get it to print what you want to print).
