Version ifhp-3.5.1 - Mon Dec 17 20:17:53 PST 2001
The ifhp=option,option... was being ignored. It is
now not ignored. The processing is:
printcap ifhp=option1,option2
command line -Toption3,option4 -Zoption5,option6
As the options are processed, they are put into a list:
option order: option1,option2,option3,option4,option5,option6
If they have form: option=value, the values are set as
the list is constructed. Next, they are scanned for effect,
i.e. - simplex, duplex, etc. and those which cause output
have output generated.

>
> We used to setup two queues for each printer that has a duplex
> printing unit installed, one for simplex and another for duplex
> output. The way we achieved this was using the ifhp= options in
> printcap file. For example

> :ifhp=model=hp8100,duplex

>
> After upgrading to versions 3.8.2/3.4.9 for LPRng/ifhp, LPRng stopped
> honoring the simplex/duplex options in the printcap file.
>
> Selecting the simplex or duplex mode still works with the command line
> options for lpr (e.g. lpr -P hp1 -Z duplex) However, this requires
> replacing the standard lpr commands on all machines with the lprng
> version and teaching the users about a new command line option
> (another can of worms but I am considering doing that in the long run)
> Is there a way to bring the old functionality back?
