Probably needs one or two PJL commands tacked on to the front of the print job and one or two more at the end to cancel the duplex. Have a look for the PJL commands supported by your printer -- try an HP web site -- and write a print filter that can add in the commands either by the selection of a duplex queue or by passing options to say LPRng with lpr -Z Malcolm _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
