Duplexing on TN4050

Nick D'angelo_3 — Wed, 01 Mar 2000 12:36:01 GMT

I have configured jetadmin and the printer for duplexing and all works fine.

The only problem is, all Unix print jobs get sent in Duplex mode and I want to
be selective. ie, define a print queue in our application that says single side
and another print queue in our app that indicates duplex.

Suggestions please,

The only working way to have multiple queues point to the same printer is to
use DPS (Distributed Print Services). You can set it up through SAM. It's kind
of like LVM for printers, but it can get to be a pain to manage.

Dan, There would only be one queue in Unix, I'll call it kfin2. Then in our
application, I would select the different queues ie kfin2l, or kfin2ll which
stand for landscape and legal landscape with the appropriate printer
initializations settings. The problem is, I need to know the printer init
settings to set in my application so that it would only print on one side of
the page. The default on the printer is set to duplex, but I think I should be
able to set up a simplex print queue.
