I just tried using Firefox (opened the file locally then print and
choose 2 pages per page and duplex), but it gets the lines per page
wrong enscript is at least getting that right...
Now I have tried it on another printer that has duplexer. I can duplex
from any program I have tried that works through the gnome interface for
printing. But enscript is not duplexing.
Either I have to figure out how to fix this or replace enscript.
