Hello,
I have an UTF-8 text file and want to print it in duplex mode to a printer
KONICA MINOLTA C360SeriesPS(P) which is able to hanel duplex (and doing
this for Win7 printing as default).
The print command in CUPS (1.4.6) is:
$ lpr -Paps -o sides=two-sided-long-edge utf8.txt
it runs the UTF-8 text file fine through the filter texttops in the
print is fine, but not duplex;
I checked texttops by calling it as:
$ texttops 1 rleigh myfile 1 "finishings=3 number-up=1 orientation-requested=3 sides=two-sided-long-edge" utf8.txt > ps
but the file 'ps' does not contain any Postscript directive having
to do with side or duplex printing;
How is this option '-o sides=two-sided-long-edge' implemented in CUPS
exactly?
Thanks
matthias
