- A couple of days ago I asked about putting an HP LaserJet IID into duplex
- mode.

- A number of people pointed out that an "end" statement after the above
- commands may help. Thanks to all who replied. As it turns out I will
- probably never know for sure. As Leif Arne Neset pointed out, evidently
- both pages of a duplex page must be in memory before the sheet can be
- printed. Upon closer examination of the HP documentation I found a table
- which stated that duplex printing *requires* 4MB of additional add in memory.
- Alas, we only have 2 MB in this printer. Rather than print them out in
- in non-duplex, it just pukes on the whole print job. Lots of pretty blinking
- lights but that's about it.

- Thanks again to:
