Hi all,
I'm using Debian stable and trying to print in A4, duplex mode on
a network printer. I've made some progress, but I think I'm missing one
piece still. In CUPS (v1.1.23), I've selected "duplex" and my media size
is A4.
I have this in a2ps.cfg:
## Enable duplex printing
Options: -s2
And this in a2ps-site.cfg:
## Change libpaper to a4
Options: --medium=a4
If I print a PS file, it comes out on A4, but not in duplex mode.
So, half there...
Now, I try to print with:
lp -d <printer name> -o sides=two-sided-long-edge file.ps
or even with just
lp file.ps
It comes out double-sided, but on letter-size paper (There is
letter-sized paper in the printer, but it is better not to use it since it
isn't the standard paper size here, which makes it expensive to acquire.)
Interestingly, when the PS file (original source is from LaTeX) is made
with either "dvips -tletter" or "dvips -ta4", nothing comes out of the
printer. When I just use just "dvips" with no options, it comes out as
described above.
As for the Debian FAQ, I can confirm that libpaper1 is installed,
/etc/papersize says "a4" and just for good measure, I set the PAPERSIZE
environment variable to "a4".
lpoptions returns a single line: "job-sheets=none,none
_kde-filters=true".
If anyone has any suggestions on where should I look or what I may
have done wrong, please let me know. I've noticed no obvious pattern so
far and am quite confused about it...
Ray
