Hi Misc,
I wonder if somebody could educate me on duplex printing with lpr
command from the base
predrag@oko$ uname -a
OpenBSD oko.bagdala2.net 6.0 GENERIC.MP#2 amd64
I use LPD spooling with the network printer Brother HL-L5250DN which is
duplex capable. More over I have no problem printing duplex with the
command
a2ps -Prp -1 -s2 filename.ps
Obviously a2ps is using the same LPD. However I read lpr man pages
several times over and it seems that lpr has no switch for duplex
printing.
What does actually happen with the document when I use switch -s2 in
a2ps?
Thanks
Predrag
P.S. This is my printcap file
# Remote printer must use jetdirect since foomatic-rip doesn't speak LPD
