How to turn off duplex

hiepng · #1 (**permalink**) 07-09-2004

I am using digital Unix and lpd. I have HP 4200n LaserJet TCP printer, but when I use lpr command, it always print duplex.

I can turn off duplex feature at the panel of the printer, but then other Windows computer cannot print duplex. How can I set up /etc/printcap file so that it will be printed one side? Any help will be appreciated.

Check the man page for your version of lpr, the options vary. It may be the "-K" option.

thanks for the hint, but it does not work with my printer, and I have no idea why is that.

I heard that filter can solve this problem. Does any have a sample code to share?
