- I have an HP Laserjet 3d duplex printer hooked to an IBM RS6000/560
- running aix 3.2. (No postscript on the printer.) When installing the
- printer, I told the rs6000 it was a laserjet 3, being the closest
- printer option in the menu. It works fine with one major exception:
- every time I try to print duplex (with the -Y2 option to qprt) all I
- get is an error message on the console or in mail that -Y flag is
- invalid, and nothing is printed. (See exact error message below.)
- There doesn't seem to be any option in the printer configuration to
- specify that the printer is duplex, and the laserjet 3 definition
- includes the escape sequences needed for selecting duplex operation.
- IBM sotware tells me to contact the local rep, and he doesn't have a
- clue about printers. (After I get this one fixed, I assume that I can
- use the same solution on a laserjet 3si on another rs6000.)
- Any clues, or is the -Y option documented and doesn't work?
