psset duplex not working/ -n not working

[John Horne]

Hello,

Using a redhat 7.1 system (2.2.18 kernel) with a2ps 4.12 to a Canon IR3300
copier:

1) Trying to use 'psset --duplex' causes the file to printed in simplex. I
have looked at the FAQ (10.1.3), however, the IR3300 is certainly not an old
printer!

Removing the postscript:

  %%BeginFeature: *
    (<<) cvx exec / () cvx exec (>>) cvx exec
    systemdict /setpagedevice get exec
  %%EndFeature                                                              

from the code inserted by psset, allows the file to be printed in duplex.

2) In trying to sort out the above problem I ran 'psset -n --duplex'. The
output file was exactly the same as the input file. Removing the '-n' option
caused the output file to (try and) print in duplex as expected.



Regards,

John.
