7206.0. "UNIX lpr options and Colorwriter LSR 2000" by SANITY::LEMONS (And we thank you for your support.) Wed May 21 1997 14:20

    Hi
    
    I have users that need to print to the LSR 2000 from Digital UNIX and
    other UNIXs.  They particularly want to:
    
    select input trays
    select orientation (portrait or landscape)
    select single or duplex
    select number-up
    
    I believe the UNIX lpr command can handle each of these using,
    respectively, the -Itray, -Oorientation, -Ksides, and -Nnumber options.
    
    Do these all work to the LSR 2000?  I have a dim memory of other notes
    in this notes file saying that some of these might not.
    
    Thanks!

    Certainly there's been no formal attempt to test the Colorwriter on
    different flavors of UNIX. (Anecdotal comments are welcome.) 
    
    Digital UNIX doesn't have the lpr options; if you install the
    PrintServer kit, you get these options through lpspr. Regardless, the
    -K option is moot because the 'LSR 2000 is not a duplex printer. There
    is also a kit on the PSB InfoCenter that can be used to help select the
    manual feed tray.
    
    You might want to post in KERNEL::UNIX_PRINTING to reach more possible
    existing users.

    Ah!  Thanks!
