Hi, I'm not even sure if our DEC Server 20 has a duplex (both-side) mode. But if it does how do I 'start' it? Also, how do I tell a postscript print (specificly the Dec Server 20) which paper tray to use? Thanks in advance, cjs@cwru.cwru.edu

If you're programming in PostScript, you can use the PostScript extension operator: boolean setduplexmode -- ------------- if the boolean value is TRUE, duplex printing is enabled starting with the next sheet. *One* way to select paper trays is with this PostScript extension operator: integer setpapertray -- ------------ If you're trying from an operating system to get duplex: VAX/VMS: $ PRINT/QUEUE=foo/PARAM=(SIDES=2) filename U*ix: $ lpr -Pqueue -K2 filename Or paper trays: VAX/VMS: $ PRINT/QUEUE=foo/PARAM=(INPUT_TRAY={top|middle|bottom|lcit}) filename U*ix: $ lpr -Pqueue -Itray filename [tray is {top|middle|bottom|lcit}] Of course, all of this is documented in the various manuals, but I wasn't sure of what resources you had available.

Dec does not distribute source to its modified lpr with the rest of its `TCP/IP Supporting Host' package for the Printservers; only binaries for Ultrix are available.
