Unfortunately there still seems to be a problem. Here's an email I
received from the user:
...oooOOOooo...
Thank you for notifying me about this. Unfortunately, there still
a problem with printing duplex. What had been fix is that previously,
when I tried to print duplex to say cheme42, nothig came out.
Now the printjob will come out, but only on single side, not duplex.
I have done some compairsons with pindar2, let me summarize the results
below:
Method 1: Print directly from Athena
------------------------------------
I generated a postscript file using HP Laser jet 4/SI postscript
driver, with option set to duplex when I generated the postscript file.
I got a duplex output when I sent this file to pindar2 but it came
out single-sided when I sent to cheme42.
Method 2: Print directly from PC using the LPRspooler progarm
-------------------------------------------------------------
I have the LPRspooler program installed on my PC so I can
send directly from the Word program to any athena printer.
If I select pindar2 as the printer, I am able to obtain a
duplex output but if I select cheme42 as the printer,
I obtain only a single-sided output.
I think there must be some differences between the setup
of pindar2 and cheme42, cheme02 etc. Perhaps you can tell them
about my observation and they will be able to identify the
the duplex problem. Thanks.
