Not according to the print dialog it presents. All ghosted.

The first 3170 listed above.
Thanks.
But I note that in my googling, this seems to be a complaint that is over
a decade old.
Based on yoiur comment that xpdf is aware, I loaded up the file into it
again, selected print using lpr -dBROTHERHL-3170CDW, set it to do the
first 4 pages and clicked print. xpdf went away, but left this in the cli
terminal, whatever its trying to tell me:
gene@coyote:/usr/share/doc/nut-doc/pdf$ xpdf user-manual.pdf
lpr: Warning - "d" format modifier not supported - output may not be
correct.
Segmentation fault
gene@coyote:/usr/share/doc/nut-doc/pdf$ WARNING: gnome-keyring:: couldn't
connect to: /home/gene/.cache/keyring-4yH2NN/pkcs11: No such file or
directory
lp -d did work a week ago, doesn't lpr use the same destination specifier?
So, just for S&G, I did this:
gene@coyote:/usr/share/doc/nut-doc/pdf$ lpr -pBrother_HL-3170CDW user-
manual.pdf
WARNING: gnome-keyring:: couldn't connect to:
/home/gene/.cache/keyring-4yH2NN/pkcs11: No such file or directory
and 2 minutes later it fired and and made me another 88 page printout,
single sided and thoroughly randomized in page order because the old
printout was laying on top of the printer impediing the paper ejection.
In localhost:631, all 3 versions of this printer are setup to do long edge
binding duplex output. I take it lpr does not honor the default
configuration? IMO it should, but whats this keyring gobbledeegook?
Maybe thats the real problem? Its reported for me, and for a sudo -i
session.
Thank you Brian.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
