I needed to print and Internet Draft 2 sided and two up. My colleague
suggested lpr, but that does not have enough options, but I figured out
how to use lp:
lp -d HP-Officejet-8500 -o sides=two-sided-short-edge -o number-up=2
RFC5201-bis.txt
But then he came back and said enscript is better and to use
enscript -2r -PHP-Officejet-8500 RFC5201-bis.txt
enscript does not come installed with F14; so I would have to install
it. I did a search for an online man page...
This does not seem to provide 2 sided. According to the man page it
looks like I need to add
-DDuplex:true
So in what way is enscript better than lp? What neato things do I gain
by using it?
