a2ps 4.13 Bug or no bug that's the question |

L.s.,
this is the third
time i try to contact you about a possible problem with a2ps while trying to
print Simplex on a duplex printer.
Why don't i get any
answer op reaction on the matter?
This was the problem
which occured whne printing the generated postscript file after uploading it to
a W2000 pc and printing from a DOS prompt with the print
command:
we
have installed a2ps version 4.13 on a HP-Solaris Unix environment mainly because
the postprint command there available does not seem to support an option
for single sides printing.
But
using this option with a2ps we get no satisfying result i.e. the printer keeps
printing double-sided.
We
want to establish a direct connection between unix and a known network printer
and for testing, as long as there is not yet a printer queue defined on the unix
server, we generate a postscript file, ftp it to a workstation and print the
file from a command box to the network printer which is able to print
double-sided but does this for instance within MS Word only when you select
printing on both-sides in the printer settings.
To
generate the appropriate postscript file (landscape, single sided,
one virtual page per fysical page) we used the following command
string:
a2ps prttest3.asc -r -s1
-B --borders=no -1 -l132 -o
prttest3_s.ps
The printfile is a two-page ascii file where the
second page is preceeded with a newpage string (see
attachement).
I have allso included the generated postscript
file.
We printed the file on three different printers
(HP laserjet 4000 and HP 4650odn color printer) with the same
result.
Kind
regards,
Servé
