Re: Regarding printer ( URGENT)

Without knowing more about the printer model, the model script you are using that is simply not possible. It sounds as though the default output mode for your printer is duplex. You can probably reset the default using the printer's front panel.
If it ain't broke, I can fix that.

Re: Regarding printer ( URGENT)

hppi does not set any values such as duplex for all jobs. What has happened is someone has been playing with the front panel of the printer and changed the default settings for the printer. Go to the front panel and find the paper handling menu to turn off the duplex option.

Now there is always a possibility that someone with the root password has logged in and edited the printer's script. The fastest fix is to simply delete and add the printer again which replaces the current printer script. You can do this with just two commands: removequeue and addqueue.
