Setting up different Queues like on VMS is not possible, unfortunately
I got no response.
My workaround was to set up several queues by doing the print
client setup a few times.
I modified the default banner sheet file
/var/spool/LPS/lib/bannerPage.psh
which is ok for duplex/a4 (big input tray default)
to files like
/var/spool/LPS/lib/bannerPage_folie.psh
/var/spool/LPS/lib/bannerPage_oneside.psh
/var/spool/LPS/lib/bannerPage_top.psh
/var/spool/LPS/lib/bannerPage_top_oneside.psh
and changed the equivalent field of the print client
9) Banner sheet file: xxxxx
the end of the default bannerpage looks like:
bash-2.01# tail bannerPage.psh
%
% Output the imaged page and force the banner sheet out
% (in case the printer is set to duplex mode by default).
%
showpage
statusdict begin newsheet end
} def
--------------------------------------------------------------------
So i modified the end
to
bash-2.01# diff bannerPage.psh bannerPage_oneside.psh
< statusdict begin newsheet end
> statusdict begin newsheet false setduplexmode end
.... for one sided printjobs (assuming the file itself has no duplex enabled)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
to
bash-2.01# diff /var/spool/LPS/lib/bannerPage.psh
/var/spool/LPS/lib/bannerPage_folie.psh
< statusdict begin newsheet end
> statusdict begin newsheet false setduplexmode 2 setoutputtray 1 setpapertray
end
... to get transparencies come on the left side of the LPS32 and get the
input from the upper paper tray
The side effect is that those won't come unattended
You must be quick to get out the transparencies as they are coming
for they are very hot.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The problem I still have is to replace the input / output filter
by some filter scripts which would call lpsif /lpsof at the end but
should do some file - conversion before ... or should take lpd ?
Maybe this helps someone
