Hi,
just upgraded my linux and cups installation on my printserver. Some of
my printers have duplex as a default configuration. Nervertheless I
configured a banner page explicitly printing itself simplex by inserting
statusdict begin /setduplexmode where { pop false setduplexmode } if end
(the banner document is attached)
This worked fine with cups-1.1.18.
Using cups-1.1.20 prints an empty page after each banner page. This is
because some filter (which one?) converts my banner page and inserts
some code at the end:
[... PS code ... ]
showpage
%%Page: 2 2
showpage
%%Trailer
%%Pages: 2
%%EOF
(the converted banner page is attached, too)
Since the effect only happens on duplex configured printers I suppose
the filter inserts a second page because my banner just uses one page.
I have 2 questions:
1.) Which filter converts my banner page?
2.) How can I modify my banner page so that it is printed simplex?

Christoph
