Hello everyone,
A few years ago I created a printer definition under Tru64 4.0D to print
text files in duplex mode. The excerpt from the /etc/printcap file is:
# Entries for duplex printing hplaserjet4si
lp2|2|duplex:\
:ct=tcp:\
:if=/usr/lbin/hplaserof +duplex.pcf:\
:lf=/usr/adm/lp2err:\
:lp=@stalj4mx/stalj4mx:\
:mx#0:\
:of=/usr/lbin/hplaserof +duplex.pcf:\
:pl#66:\
:pw#80:\
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd2:\
:xf=/usr/lbin/xf:\
:Si=2:
Under 4.0 the printer was accessed using this command: lpr -Pduplex file.lis
The queue isn't used often and was discovered a week or so ago to no longer
work. In January I upgraded to 4.0G and am wondering if that caused a
problem but I can't see what it is. Everytime we attempt to print to this
queue the document prints on one side only - no errors logged. The file
duplex.pcf does exist, in two directories:
/usr/lbin/pcf/duplex.pcf
/usr/lbin/duplex.pcf
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
