So, this configuration worked: 1) Install hpijs 2) Install ghostscript-gnu 3) Install foomatic-db 4) Download foomatic-rip and install into /usr/local/bin 5) Install cups 6) Download DeskJet 6122 PPD from linuxprinting.org: http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-DeskJet_6122 7) Install as deskjet3.ppd in /usr/local/share/cups/model 8) Use CUP's administration tool on localhost:631 to modify the printer, selecting the "HP DeskJet 6122, Foomatic + hpijs (recommended)" driver. 9) Use CUP's administration tool on localhost:631 to configure the printer, turning on double-sided printing. That's it. It's possible that one or both of steps 3 and 4 aren't necessary.

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]"

Duplex printing with HP DeskJet 6122
Hi folks, We just got an HP DeskJet 6122 for printing Unix docs. It comes with a duplexing unit, which works when driven by the supplied Windows driver. However, I'd really rather have this thing connected to my FreeBSD workstation. I've tried CUPS and LPRng, and neither of the two support this printer's duplexing feature out of the box. Does anyone have any suggestions? Ciao, Sheldon. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
