We use Xerox printers and set them up using lpadmin command instead of Casper Admin like....
lpadmin -p <PRINTERNAME> -L "<LOCATION>" -v lpd://<IP ADDRESS> -P <PPD LOCATION> -o printer-is-shared=false -o PageSize=A4 -o XRFaxCoverSize=A4 -o MediaType=SystemDefault -o MediaColor=Auto -o XRSeparatorMediaColor=Auto -E

To find out all your printers options manually install it on a machine and use the command lpoptions -p <PRINTER> -l will list them all then use each option with -o like above

Create a policy for each printer with the driver installing and the above command as Execute command in the Files and Processes payload

Hope this helps

Hi Steve-

Thank you for the info - very helpful.

Can you just change one option? As in, all the other defaults are OK now that I know of. I was wondering if this statement would get what I want in isolation:

lpadmin -o Duplex/2-Sided Printing=DuplexNoTumble

Try -p lpadmin -p <PRINTERNAME> -L "<LOCATION>" -v lpd://<IP ADDRESS> -P <PPD FILE LOCATION> -o Duplex=DuplexNoTumble -E

@SGill you are close on the syntax, just need to identify the printer:

lpadmin -p <printername> -o Duplex=DuplexNoTumble

Try that.

You can set options one at a time, or several in one call using lpadmin -p <printername> -o <option> Just add as many -o <option> as you need.

Thanks @stevewood . Unfortunately the Xerox setting for duplex printing (currently defaulting to single-sided) seems be to trumping the CUPS setting for duplex enable. I see now how to edit the CUPS options at the website: localhost:631 , and via the command-line options you provided, but I don't seem to have any info on how to access the Xerox command-line controlling all the options that appear under "Xerox Features" in the print GUI. This is occurring with the Xerox 3.90 multi-driver package installed to the mac.

@SGill We have C70's attached to external Fiery RIPs. If I list the options (lpoptions -p <printer> -l | grep -i duplex) I get the following for changing duplex: EFDuplex/Duplex: *False TopTop TopBottom

I can then issue: lpoptions -p <printer> -o EFDuplex=TopTop

If I recall correctly, however, even if I set that on the Xerox, the Fiery may override that setting.

Thanks Steve-

We're testing the result of the commands below today, but the Xerox defaults are being pretty stubborn. It also appears Fiery and Xerox syntax's are a little different with regards to this setting as well:

lpoptions -p Library_Black_White_Printers -o Duplex/2-sided Printing=DuplexNoTumble

lpoptions -p Library_Color_Printers -o Duplex/2-sided Printing=DuplexNoTumble

Do you think the syntax:

EFDuplex=TopTop

only applies if you have a Fiery Server? We don't have those for our Xerox's.

@SGill if you list the options for the printer after setting them (lpoptions -p Library_Black_White_Printers) do you see the Duplex setting?

Yes, it returns this:

lpoptions -p Library_Black_White_Printers -l | grep -i duplex

Duplex/2-Sided Printing: None *DuplexNoTumble DuplexTumble

Still seem to be getting single-sided printing out of the Xerox C70, though. Wonder if there is any kind of Xerox C70 admin app for win or mac that might help...I'll contact our vendor.
