Our students have a bad habit of changing the printer settings from the
printer's control panel rather than specify the options they want from
the command line.

The number one issue is simplex printing.  I have figured out if I set
prefix_z=duplex in the printcap entry, their job will still be printed
in duplex unless they specifically type "lpr -Zsimplex".  Perfect.

Occasionally we have students who change the number of copies from the
control panel to something other than 1.  Is there something similar to
the prefix_z=duplex that I can use to force the printing of one copy
unless they specify the correct command-line options?


Thanks,

Chris O'Regan
