I am using the default Postscript ppd file with my HPLJ4M+ printer.
with lpoptions, I have set
lpoptions -p HPLJ4M+ -o Duplex=DuplexNoTumble
lpoptions -p HPLJ4M+ -o Resolution=600dpi
When I try to print I get:
[reg at orion ~]$ lpr typescript2
lpr: unable to print file: client-error-document-format-not-supported
How the PPD file says:
*OpenUI *Resolution/Output Resolution: PickOne
*OrderDependency: 20 AnySetup *Resolution
*DefaultResolution: 300dpi
*Resolution 150dpi/150 DPI: "<</HWResolution[150 150]>>setpagedevice"
*Resolution 300dpi/300 DPI: "<</HWResolution[300 300]>>setpagedevice"
*Resolution 600dpi/600 DPI: "<</HWResolution[600 600]>>setpagedevice"
*Resolution 1200dpi/1200 DPI: "<</HWResolution[1200 1200]>>setpagedevice"
*Resolution 2400dpi/2400 DPI: "<</HWResolution[2400 2400]>>setpagedevice"
*CloseUI: *Resolution
and
*OpenUI *Duplex/Double-Sided Printing: PickOne
*OrderDependency: 20 AnySetup *Duplex
*DefaultDuplex: None
*Duplex None/Off: "<</Duplex false>>setpagedevice"
*Duplex DuplexNoTumble/Long Edge (Standard): "<</Duplex true/Tumble false>>
setpagedevice"
*Duplex DuplexTumble/Short Edge (Flip): "<</Duplex true/Tumble true>>
setpagedevice"
*CloseUI: *Duplex
and my assumption here is that I do get to "Pick one", viz any of the listed
group is acceptable. Since my options are there, I would expect it to work.
So what am I doing wrong????
[[ I USED to use the REAL ppd file for the HPLJ4M+ rather than the
generic Postscript PPD, but with the current release of CUPS
using that PPD file causes the printer to want it paper from
the letter slot rather than the paper tray, which is not acceptable,
and is a problem that I havent seen a solution to ]]
