We used to setup two queues for each printer that has a duplex printing unit installed, one for simplex and another for duplex output. The way we achieved this was using the ifhp= options in printcap file. For example
:ifhp=model=hp8100,simplex for the simplex queue, and :ifhp=model=hp8100,duplex for the duplex queue. After upgrading to versions 3.8.2/3.4.9 for LPRng/ifhp, LPRng stopped honoring the simplex/duplex options in the printcap file. Selecting the simplex or duplex mode still works with the command line options for lpr (e.g. lpr -P hp1 -Z duplex) However, this requires replacing the standard lpr commands on all machines with the lprng version and teaching the users about a new command line option (another can of worms but I am considering doing that in the long run) Is there a way to bring the old functionality back? -akop ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- YOU MUST BE A LIST MEMBER IN ORDER TO POST TO THE LPRNG MAILING LIST The address you post from MUST be your subscription address If you need help, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (or lprng-requests or lprng-digest-requests) with the word 'help' in the body.
