The postscript file (hp2840-windoze.ps) from ms windows seems to have
the following stuff in it relating to "Manual Duplex" ....
@PJL SET MANUALDUPLEX=ON
....
....
featurebegin{
%%BeginFeature: *HPManualDuplexDialogItems
InstructionID_01_FACEDOWN-NOROTATE
%%EndFeature
}featurecleanup
....
....
featurebegin{
%%BeginFeature: *HPManualDuplexDialogModel Modeless
%%EndFeature
}featurecleanup
featurebegin{
%%BeginFeature: *HPManualDuplexPageOrder EvenPagesFirst
%%EndFeature
}featurecleanup
....
....
featurebegin{
%%BeginFeature: *ManualDuplex True
%%EndFeature
}featurecleanup
....
....
....
I'm wondering if its the PJL (Printer Job Language) line at the top of
the ps file that actually makes it work in "Manual Duplex" mode on MS
Windows.
Have you tried sending that ps file to the printer on your solaris box ?
Eg. ...
> dos2unix hp2840-windoze.ps hp2840-file.ps
> lp -d myprinter hp2840-file.ps
and does it work "Manual Duplex" then?
If it does you could try removing the PJL line and see if it still works?
If that still works, try removing all the HPManualDuplex* features lines
from the file, leaving the '*ManualDuplex True', and see if it still
prints in "Manual Duplex" mode ?
