Printers on "raw" print queues do not print double-sided, collate pages, print landscape, or print multiple copies in RHEL
Issue
- I have printers and none of them are collating multiple copies. Where can I set this up as the default? None of the printers use a PPD so what can i do to resolve this.
-
The following command does not print landscape:
lpr –o landscape -Pr10 test_file.txt -
Printing multiple copies of a file using the
lp -noption does not work against raw CUPS print queues. One job is submitted and only one copy prints regardless of the value given to-n. When I configure a printer with a PPD (PostScript Printer Definition), the option behaves as expected. - We have changed the print queue to raw and that cleared up our earlier printing issue. Now we need to set the paper size properly. I have tried changing the media to
media=Custom.8.5x13in, then trying it withPageSize=8.5x13in, and it still only print in Letter/A4 format. I have to be able to change the paper size. - We are unable to print banner pages, even though we have defined a custom banner page properly.
- While printing from RHEL server , we are unable to print on both sides . We need to enable the option for duplex printing. The directory
/etc/cups/ppdis empty. - Specifying the print tray on the command line does not work in RHEL when
-o rawis also used
Environment
