(FabrizioMorbini - 18 Aug 2005) In the case the print service is down (see Printing directly to a printer), the methods described in Printing N-up don't work. So manually edit the postscript file (resulting from psnup) and add, after the first line (that usually looks like this: %!PS-Adobe-2.0 ) the following three lines:
%%BeginFeature *Duplex True << /Duplex true >> setpagedevice %%EndFeature | ||||||||

An older and less reliable means of printing duplex is to invoke the /usr/staff/bin/duplex script. This script takes a PostScript input and outputs modified PostScript (with an embedded duplex command) to STDOUT. This method is known not to work with the output of psnup (see Printing N-up) and may not work in other situations as well.

Printing directly to a printerWhen the department print service is down, it is still possible to print sending directly to the printer the postscript file. This method works on almost all Postscript network printers and needs the utility netcat (http://netcat.sourceforge.net/![]()

Printing Duplex and Printing N-up save department resources, so use them whenever possible.Printing DuplexUse the duplexed printer queues to print duplex in the department. Instead of printing to <printer> (e.g. shake), print to <printer>/duplex (e.g. shake/duplex).An example: lpr -Pshake/duplex myfile.ps An older and less reliable means of printing duplex is to invoke the /usr/staff/bin/duplex script. This script takes a PostScript input and outputs modified PostScript (with an embedded duplex command) to STDOUT. This method is known not to work with the output of psnup (see Printing N-up) and may not work in other situations as well. An example: duplex myfile.ps | lpr Printing N-upPrinting a document n-up prints multiple pages of the document on a single side of a sheet of paper. There are multiple ways to print documents n-up that all boil down to the same thing: inserting appropriate commands into the PostScript representation of your document. Some of these methods are described below. If you are Printing N-up, you should also consider Printing Duplex.
Checking Printer QueuesUse one of the following methods to check the documents that are queued to Department printers.
