CupsPrinter cupsPrinter = cupsClient.getPrinter(printerURL);

Add extra PrintJob attributes

Map<String, String> attributes = new HashMap<>();
attributes.put("compression", "none");
attributes.put("job-attributes", "print-quality:enum:3#fit-to-page:boolean:true#sheet-collate:keyword:collated");

PrintJob printJob = new PrintJob.Builder(bytes)
                                .jobName("job-name")
                                .userName("user-name")
                                .copies(2)
                                .pageRanges("1-3")
                                .duplex(false)
                                .portrait(false)
                                .color(true)
                                .pageFormat("iso-a4")
                                .resolution("300dpi")
                                .attributes(attributes)
                                .build();
