dpr - a filter for PostScript printing in duplex.

Synopsis

   dpr [files] | lpr
   or
   dpr < file | lpr
   or
   cat file | dpr | lpr

Description

dpr is a program to wrap PostScript duplex code around the content to be printed. The program appends the start-duplex code at the beginning of the content. dpr tries to detect if the content is in PostScript by looking at the first 2 characters. If the first 2 characters are %!, it thinks the content is in PostScript. If the content is in PostScript, it passes the content intact. If the content's first 2 characters are not %!, it will assume the content is ASCII and convert the content to PostScript. dpr prints the content at stdout, therefore, pipe the output to the specific printer. Note: it may or may not work with your printer and you must have the duplex tray in your printer.

Examples

   dpr file | lpr
   dpr file | lpr -Pc119_ps
   dpr < file | lpr
   dpr < file >file.out

For duplex printing from netscape, define the print commmand as: dpr | lpr
