Hello Cups Group.

Problem Defination :

I am trying to print a file having 5 pages.  Out of five pages first page should be print from tray 1 and rest of pages should be print from  tray 2. The i want to repat this printing for 3 times.

i tried this commands.

lp -d lpdps -o media=Upper -o page-ranges=1 Testfilewith5pages.ps

and then

lp -d lpdps -o media=Lower -o page-ranges=2-5 Testfilewith5pages.ps

These commands working fine. I am getting the desired out put.
but i have to gave these commands 6 times to print 3 copies.

In above command i can gave -n 3 for each command. But the again i have to sort the printing.

Is any option where i can say on only with one command. Like print the first page from Tray 1 and rest of pages from Tray 2 and repeat this print printing for 3 times.

Thanks,
nitin mandolkar.
