I have a user printing from an L3000 to an HP network printer. The printer is forcing double-sided printing. I can find no options within the lp command or the driver file to force that back to single-sided. Any suggestions?

Re: forcing single-sided printing
Many model scripts can *print* a summary of the options which they recognize:
lp -d -ooptions somedummytextfile
lp -d

Re: forcing single-sided printing
This is probably the default behavior of the printer itself. This can usually be fixed from the LCD display of the printer itself, or whatever workstation is running the management utility for that printer. LP services on Unix are pretty 'dumb' compared to those available in the Windows environment.

Hi
1)On the printer in the print menu double sided is on.
2)The word is simplex
lp -dprinter -osimplex file
Then duplex for 2 sides
see /etc/lp/interface/model.orig/printer
echo "********* Option Summary *********"
echo "(see \"man net_lj4x\" for details)\n"
echo "\033&k2S\c" # use compressed font
echo "auto (default), postscript, pcl, hpgl2, hpgl2_p, raw, relay"
echo "manual, tray1, tray2, tray3 "
echo "legal, letter, A4, exec, ledger/11x17, com10"
echo "yb, nb bin1, bin2"
echo "dpi# simplex, duplex, hduplex "
echo "2up, 2+, 4up (hpux only) portrait, landscape "
echo "color, gray "
echo "ascii,text econo# (#=on/off)"
# draw box
echo "\033&a"$boxtopY"v"$boxleftX"H\033*c4h1440v0P\033*c2880h4v0P\c"
echo "\033&a"$boxbottomY"v"$boxleftX"H\033*c2880h4v0P\c"
echo "\033&a"$boxtopY"v"$boxrightX"H\033*c4h1440v0P\c"
In the script look for
duplex="def"
and replace with
duplex="simplex"
Then always 1 sided print.
