duplex printing via CUPS?
i cant get duplex printing to work with our reports.
setup:
netware printing queues managing postscript printers.
the clients (linux) are using reports 6i and have CUPS locally installed.
i have defined every printer twice in cups (once simplex/once duplex, all postscript with the appropriate ppd files)
ALL apps except oracle reports on the clients can print perfectly to the printers (both simple and duplex). all printouts from reports/or reports-generated files will only be printed one-sided.
i have defined my printers as postscript level2 in uiprint.txt....when i change them to ascii it works (of course) but ascii does naturally not look as good as ps. even if i render reports to a postscript file and then print it out (directly via cups lpr or any other app) it will ALWAYS come out printed only one-sided.
i even tried to copy the duplex-parts from the printers actual ppd file to default.ppd (using the appropriate ppd file in uiprint.txt generates a toolkit error) but still no avail. the only difference i can see in reports-generated *.eps files and working *.eps files is this:
reports-generated:
%%BeginFeature: *Duplex DuplexNoTumble
<</Duplex true /Tumble false>> setpagedevice
%%EndFeature
others:
featurebegin{
%%BeginFeature: *Duplex DuplexNoTumble
<</Duplex true /Tumble false>> setpagedevice
%%EndFeature
}featurecleanup
how can i force reports to render postscript files, that are duplex printable?
please help, any advise would be greatly appreciated. :(
