Hi
printer: Kyocera FS-1030D (duplex-printer)
PPD: orig. Kyocera V8.4 (newest)
cups: 1.2.10
pdftops: 3.00
Linux: Gentoo
the printer (itself) is set to no-duplex.
cups configuration: no-duplex
if i print a PDF-file:
# lp -d myprinter myfile.pdf
the printer uses dulex!
printing textfiles is in simplex.
# lpoptions -d myprinter -l | grep -ie duplex
Duplex/Duplex: *None DuplexTumble DuplexNoTumble
# lp -d myprinter-o Duplex=None myfile.pdf
same problem.
converting the pdf to ps by hand: pdftops myfile.pdf myfile.ps
there is a section where Duplex is true. (if i set the value to false it is printed in simplex)
....
/pdfSetup {
3 1 roll 2 array astore
/setpagedevice where {
pop 3 dict begin
/PageSize exch def
/ImagingBBox null def
/Policies 1 dict dup begin /PageSize 3 def end def
{ /Duplex true def } if
currentdict end setpagedevice
} {
pop pop
} ifelse
} def
....
i set the parameter: psDuplex no
in: pdftops.conf -> /etc/xpdfrc
same problem!
help... please
cu tim
