I think the above simply defines what should be shown in UIs when
specifying options. This list corresponds to what is presented in :

- the CUPS administation web interface "configure printer"
- the available options in xpp (works)
- the available options in OpenOffice (does not work)

I will make the test of suppressing one of the options and
look at these lists to see if they reflect the change.

But again, I think the problem is more on OO's side. This is
like if it was not able to put the right code in its Postscript
output...
