there is just one annoying issue - when printing some postscript files on 4100, it's printed reversed - i.e., white text on black rectangles :( it happens only with some of ps's... this happens whatever driver we use (hplip, hpijs) except for the postscript ppd, but then it's not possible to ch

Why don't you just create multiple printers in CUPs using the same PPD as a starting point? That's what I did. That way your users only have to select the aptly named printer they wish to use in the dialog, without having to know all the intricasies of which side to tumble and things like that. th

we tested this. whatever we choose, printer still prints duplex, long-edge flip. as a default, this is fine, but when you need something special (like short edge, 2 pages per paper), it is not possible. it seems that the settings on the printer/cups server cannot be changed/overriden by anyo

Florian Kulzer napsal(a): "lpoptions" should always work to set options for CUPS printers. You can check with "lpoptions -l" what is known/available. well, in my experience, this works probably fine for local printer, but not for the printer that is connected to some other machine seving as a c
