lpoptions and Xerox 7760DN

[gskibum]

Hi ya'll. I've been tasked with setting a default for a Xerox 7760DN for single-side printing. However I don't see a key to control that with lpoptions.

The GUI reveals controls for 2-sided: Long-Edge binding and Short-Edge binding. But lpoptions doesn't show any such key.

Any way to do this?

@gskibum when I do lpoptions -p "nameofprinter" -l it gives me all the options available. I think the one you are looking for is Duplex/2-Sided Printing: *None DuplexNoTumble DuplexTumble So you'll either need to set -o Duplex=DuplexNoTumble or -o Duplex=DuplexTumble depending upon which one you want.

That is strange. I'm doing this for 5 different models of Xerox printers and this is the only one that won't return the keys with the command.

The other 4 models use the same key, and your 7760 looks it up too so I'll go with that.

Thank you!
