Hello, |

|

|

I've successfully set up many printers, using cups and HPLIP |
5 |
before. I prefer to use CUPS. |
6 |
|
7 |
|
8 |
So I cannot find an explicit listing for this new model HP printer: |
9 |
"OfficeJet Pro 8500"; so I'm using this driver: |
10 |
HP OfficeJet Pro 1150C. |
11 |
|
12 |
Everything works, admin from localhost:631 for CUPS; |
13 |
HP printer admin from the embedded web server (very cool). It |
14 |
has a multitude of settings, but no duplex setting. I'm trying |
15 |
to avoid using the HP disc on an XP system for admin....... |
16 |
|
17 |
|
18 |
The HP literature clearly states this is a duplex printer. |
19 |
I can copy both sides of a letter size document to a single |
20 |
page, just using the menu on the printer. So I can see that |
21 |
it duplexes. So I'm concluding (for now) that the problem |
22 |
is the CUPS (best/closest I could choose) driver does not |
23 |
support Duplex printing. |
24 |
|
25 |
|
26 |
Does anyone know of an HP OfficeJet driver that supports |
27 |
duplex printing? I have not been successful in finding a |
28 |
CUPS drivers specifically for this printer: |
29 |
HP OfficeJet Pro (A909g) and I really do not want to use HPLIP. |
30 |
|
31 |
|
32 |
CUPS-1.4.2-r1 is installed. |
33 |
Any suggestions are most welcome. |
