psmandup – print duplex on non duplex printers
Synopsis
psmandup FILEDescription
Tries to produce a version of the PostScript FILE to print in manual Duplex.Options
- -h, –help
- display this help and exit
- -v, –version
- display version information and exit
- -q, –quiet
- don’t print informational messages
- -o, –output=FILE
- save result in FILE. If FILE is `-‘, send to stdout
- -n, –no-fix
- don’t call fixps to fix PS problems in FILE
- -f, –front
- output only the front pages (recto) on the regular tray
- -b, –back
- output only the back pages (verso) on the manual feed tray
Produced output is meant for PS level 2 printers which don’t support Duplex printing, but support Manual Feed. Once the first set of pages is printed (odd pages), manual feed is asked: introduce the odd pages to print the even pages on the other side.
Because there is usually a short time out for manually fed jobs, you should really be next to the printer. If ever the time out expired, use the option -b to send only the missing part.
Environment variables FIXPS, PSSELECT and PSSET, if defined, are used to find the tools.
