Toot

[#]FOSS friends: I’ve got a weird printing thing where, on Debian, when I batch print PDFs with lpr, only the first obeys my default two-sided printing setting and the rest of the PDFs get printed single-sided. This sucks, because I have dozens of student papers I need to print this time of year.

Ideas?

(It’s a HPLJ, driverless printing via CUPS)

@tkinias does 'lp -o sides=two-sided-long-edge' do this too?

@scruss

no! it’s totally mystifying – I get the same result, that the first PDF prints two-sided, and the rest print one-sided...

@scruss

I found the solution! a for loop does it
