If I send one job, lprng seems to print it twice to the printer (HP Color
Laserjet 4500DN)
No, the printer control panel is not set to print 2 copies.
using lprng VERSION=3.6.26
Anyone seen this before? Warming up printer problem?
I dont fully understand the options such as sync and waitend, etc.
here's the printcap:
## ========

## took out waitend cuz: Status: IF filter 'ifhp' filter msg - 'ifhp
