The problem of ljet4 alwyas giving one-sided printing and ljet4d always
giving duplex printing can be easily solved in Foomatic, but the problem
should also get fixed in Ghostscript so that standard PostScript methods
for using duplex get working.
Can you try the ljet4d driver and there select the long-edge and short-
edge versions of duplex printing. Does this at least correctly work?
** Summary changed:
- Footmatic/ljet4d has duplex printing always ON
+ Foomatic/ljet4d has duplex printing always ON
** Description changed:
I have a Brother HL-2270DW laser printer and I'm using Generic PCL
drivers since the official drivers by Brother suffer from issues in
managing print margins.
- Footmatic/ljet4d and Footmatic/ljet4 have good printing quality and they
- handle the print margins correctly but Footmatic/ljet4d has duplex
+ Foomatic/ljet4d and Foomatic/ljet4 have good printing quality and they
+ handle the print margins correctly but Foomatic/ljet4d has duplex
printing always ON regardless of the option "Double sided-printing", on
- the contrary Footmatic/ljet4 has the duplex always OFF.
+ the contrary Foomatic/ljet4 has the duplex always OFF.
Using CUPS web interface to set duplex doesn't help.
At the moment I'm using both drivers, one for duplex printing and the
other for plain printing.
Following directions in Debugging Printing Problems, I've enabled "Save
debugging information for troubleshooting" but I have not captured any
print jobs because in this case it would be useless.
- I have just printed a text file with duplex=OFF (Footmatic/ljet4d) but
- the printer peformed a duplex print.
+ I have just printed a text file with duplex=OFF (Foomatic/ljet4d) but
+ the printer performed a duplex print.
