lp is not X/Open or POSIX compliant

[michaelrsweet]

Version: 1.1.18
CUPS.org User: twaugh.redhat

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=89997

According to The Open Group Base Specifications Issue 6, IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, "The standard input shall be used only if no file operands are specified, or if a file operand is '-' ."

But '-' isn't supported:

$ lp -
lp: Unknown option ''!

This has been fixed in CVS for the next 1.1.19 release candidate.
