Printing odd/even pages

Printing odd/even pages

[Joe Bush]

Can anyone advise me how to print consecutive odd and/or even pages in
Postscript and lp? I want to print two sided copies of various
buffers, but my printer doesn't support this in hardware. So I need to
print all the odd pages first, reinsert the pages into the printer,
then print the even pages.

I haven't found any reference to doing this in any of the docs, but
may have missed it.

I'm using Emacs 21.2.1.

Thanks!

Get and use library printing.el, here:
http://www.cpqd.com.br/~vinicius/emacs/. It lets you do duplex, odd, or even
printing, and much, much more.

Type "M-x load-library RET ps-print RET" and then read the doc string
of the variable `ps-even-or-odd-pages'.  (I wonder how you missed it.)
