The duplex queue <queuename>2 has been added to all public printers and
is available as of today.
Users can have jobs printed in the default duplex print mode (tumble) by
just sending their jobs to the duplex queue which is the printer's regular
queuename annexed with a numeral "2". I.E. to print duplex on ajax one
would do;
athena% lpr -Pceres2 somefile.ps
This would send the job to ceres's special queue called "ceres2" which will
prepend the necessary postscript code to enable duplexing.
The user can check the status of the queue or remove items from the queue
using either name, <queuename> or <queuename>2. I.E.;
athena% lpq -Pceres2

Notice that whichever queue you specify for lpq (or lprm) will show all jobs
