Yes.
When the job was printed with "lpr -Pw20color", I got a header page
and single-sided printout.
When the job was printed with "lpr -Pw20color", I only got a header
page and nothing else.
When the job was printed to a PostScript file, and had "<< /Duplex
true >> setpagedevice" added to it in the correct location, and was
printed with "lpr -Praw@w20color.mit.edu", I got a duplex job and no
header page. (as expected)
Not tested:
-Adding "<< /Duplex true >> setpagedevice" and printing with "lpr -
Pw20color"
-Printing with "lpr -Pw20color -Zduplex"
-Printing with "lpr -Pw20color -Zduplexshort" (I don't recall this
working since the 5si days)
-Printing plain text with "lpr -Pw20color2" (I don't expect this to
behave differently, but it's worth testing)
Additionally, I should note that in order to facilitate double-sided
printing, the Copytech staff has been selectively enabling the duplex
setting on the printer itself, so anyone who goes to test this should
ensure that is off before testing. (It was in fact on when I printed
my first simplex job and I was quite confused for a few minutes.)
