You can first check that duplex printing is an available option for your driver: *** lpoptions -p printername -l | grep -i duplex *** If it is listed there and you get no output when calling lpr, take a look into CUPS logs (/var/log/cups/*), maybe there is any error there.

Well, this is what Adobe indicates me as the sent command. I assume it appends the name of the stuff to print! where `Deskjet' is the name of the printer for CUPS. Any idea?

I checked log files, but there seems to be nothing indicated, be it in error_log*, page_log*, access_log*. -- Merciadri Luca See http://www.student.montefiore.ulg.ac.be/~merciadri/ I use PGP.

I assume that you are using an Xwindows system and have a web browser installed. Try http://localhost:631/ to pull up the Cups aministration page. Set your printer defaults there and lp will follow. I find lp too arcane for my tastes being lazy. At the main page select: Add printer classesmanage printersClick on que name for your printerAdministrationSet default options. I would suggest setting draft mode and draft resolution as well as long edge. Your lp or lpr printing will use these defaults. This is much easier that messing around with the command line and stays set.

This is much easier that messing around with the command line and stays set. This is what I had already configured, at the beginning, and it changed nothing! I never use CLI for printing with CUPS, but the (localhost) web interface, as you suggest. The aforementioned command was simply Adobe Acrobat's interpretation of the options I had set when printing a PDF doc.

Printing Long Edge (Standard) with HP DeskJet 990C - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.0.2 does not work
Hi, Amongst two printers, I've got an Hp Deskjet 990Cxi, and I use `CUPS+Gutenprint v5.0.2' as a driver for this printer. I would like to print both sides, e.g. using long edge mode (standard). The problem is that this seems not to be communicated to the printer, despite of the invokated command: == lpr -P Deskjet -o Resolution=300dpi -o PageSize=Letter -o Duplex=DuplexNoTumble == where `Deskjet' is the name of the printer for CUPS. Any idea? Thanks. -- Merciadri Luca See http://www.student.montefiore.ulg.ac.be/~merciadri/ I use PGP. If there is an incompatibility problem with your mail client, please contact me.
