thanks for the suggestion of trying: $ lpr -o Duplex=None blah.pdf but I had already tried that and it has no effect. You are right, it should work. Is it a bug?!
Yes I am using the recommended postscript driver (part of the reason I bought this model HP was for the postscript feature) Note that I can control single or duplex using the OOO printer dialog. That works nice. But I have some scripts where I want to control whether it is single or duplex, and it seems "lpr" doesn't seem to honor the option given... Here is what my options are: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ lpoptions -l PageSize/Page Size: Letter *A4 11x17 A3 A5 B5 Env10 EnvC5 EnvDL EnvISOB5 EnvMonarch Executive Legal PageRegion/PageRegion: Letter A4 11x17 A3 A5 B5 Env10 EnvC5 EnvDL EnvISOB5 EnvMonarch Executive Legal InputSlot/Media Source: *Default Tray1 Tray2 Tray3 Manual Duplex/Double-Sided Printing: *DuplexNoTumble DuplexTumble None Resolution/Resolution: *default 150x150dpi 300x300dpi 600x600dpi 1200x600dpi 1200x1200dpi 2400x600dpi 2400x1200dpi 2400x2400dpi PreFilter/GhostScript pre-filtering: EmbedFonts Level1 Level2 *No -- lpr -o sides=one-sided HAS NO EFFECT https://launchpad.net/bugs/47263 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
