I'm announcing here LPR2 v1.2d.
LPR2 is a utility to print recto/verso (duplex) documents on recto only
(simplex) printers; that's printing both sides of the sheets with a printer
that only prints one side at a time (which also means you must feed the
printer twice with the sheets).
Version 1.2d added some documentation (thanks, Rainer), and fixed
wrong version printed by --version :)
A LSM description is included.
Help save the world's forests and save half the space taken by printed
documents by non-duplex printers: use lpr2 ! Also note that other postscript
utilities exist, that can help save paper, like the mpage utility, or the
psutil package (tell me if there's more), though I found them to work with
few of the postscript documents I've tried. Find them on your standard ftp
sites, or ask archie!
I uploaded the file on sunsite.unc.edu, pub/Linux/Incoming (to be in
pub/Linux/system/Printing I think, but always check the INDEX.whole file !)
Please tell me where else to upload/announce this program !
It's also available from my WWW page, whose address is
"http://acacia.ens.fr:8080/home/rideau".
Any feedback welcome !
