Have you tried to set ps-lpr-command and ps-lpr-switches via the customisation interface?

In ps-lpr-command instead of lpr you can either use "mp | lp", a pipe, and the also set ps-lpr-switches to become "-l -s" or use as ps-lpr-command directly "mp -l -s | lp".

A third option is to add an mp filter to Solaris' lpfilters. Then you could use as ps-lpr-command "lp -T MP". I am not sure where the mp options go… (too long ago)


When you are experimenting with printing options you can stop printing from the particular queue (or switch off the printer) and then use a PostScript viewer to see what the printer queue would send to the printer.
