Some guy asked for duplexing a while ago. Can't remember who it was but I just found in my CUPS docs the way to do it. I had forgotten it so I had to dig the manual!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Advanced print commands - Duplexing * If your printer supports its, CUPS can do duplexing from the command line. * To do duplexing, the command is "lpr -o duplexingoption filename" where duplexingoption is one of the following. * "sides=two-sided-short-edge" is the option suitable for landscape pages. * "sides=two-sided-long-edge" is the option is suitable for portrait pages. * CUPS default is to print on only one side of the paper, so while there is an option for this ("sides=one-sided"), you don't need it. If your printer doesn't support duplexing, but you want to fake it, CUPS again has options to help. * Use the "-o page-set=set option" to select printing just the even or just the odd pages. * The set value is either even, for even numbered pages, or odd, for odd numbered pages. * The default is to print all pages. There is really is no option for this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- which might help. regards, Didier --- PhD student Singapore Synchrotron Light Source (SSLS) 5 Research Link, Singapore 117603 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website: http://ssls.nus.edu.sg -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
