RE: [h-e-w] Duplex printing with cover pages

[Bingham, Jay]

I have printed documents in duplex mode from emacs on several network
printers that print cover sheets at two different companies and I have
never seen this occur.  The first time I tried it I was concerned that
it would work as you describe, but it did not so I never thought about
it after that.  Since I have never had to do anything special to make
the printer work this way I suspect that the control for this behavior
is in the printer configuration itself or in the driver configuration.
Talk to your network administration or printer support people.  As far
as I know the only capability in emacs to specify or control this type
of behavior would be if it can be specified as a command line argument
to the print command.

Subject: [h-e-w] Duplex printing with cover pages
 
I've noticed a problem yesterday where the printer I started using uses
cover pages as well as duplex printing. Basically, the first page of
output shows up on the backside of the cover page. The result was the
same whether I used w32-print or ps-print, and under ps-print,
regardless of whether I set ps-spool-duplex to t or nil. Has anyone else
noticed this? If so, is there a fix/workaround?
 
Thanks for the help,
