ps-lpr-switches has no effect

ps-lpr-switches has no effect

[Leo]

Hi there,

I use lpr "-o Duplex=DuplexNoTumble" in shell and I can print a document
on both sides of the paper.

However, if I set ps-lpr-switches to "-o Duplex=DuplexNoTumble", and
print a document within Emacs using 'M-x ps-print-buffer', it is only
one sided. I wonder if there is a bug in ps-print.

HTH,

Please, execute the following command in *scratch* buffer:

    M-: (insert (ps-setup)) RET

Save *scratch* buffer in a file and send me back.

BTW, did you read the Duplex Printers section in ps-print documentation?

Sorry for the delay, I was out of city.

Please, test the following setting:

    (setq ps-lpr-switches '("-o Duplex=DuplexNoTumble"))

Please, ignore this email if you already received it before.

It worked.

I should have read the doc string.

BTW, do you know how to enable this option through `pr-interface'?

Hmmm, there is no way to configure ps-lpr-switches via pr-interface.
But I'll try to find a way to do it.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks.

Modern gui print dialogue for example the one in Evince provides a list
where user can choose one-sided, Long Edge and Short Edge. I think
pr-interface is like the print dialogue for Emacs and might have a
similar feature.
