Hi Peter,
To print things in the duplex mode, there used
to be a command lpr2, but Athena told me that
this command doesn't really work and suggested
me to use:
lpr -Pprintername2 filename
I.e. add a 2 to the printer name.
This command works but it only works for the public
athena printers because printers cheme0 and cheme4 have
not been set up to accept this command.
I would really appreciate if you can get Athena set
up the duplex mode so that one would also be able to print
duplex to the chemE printers using the
lpr -Pcheme02 filename
lpr -Pcheme42 filename
comands. That would save a lot of trees, in the long
run. Thanks a lot.
Christine
