Adobe Reader printing question


Hi!

How could I print In Adobe Reader 7.0 a document on both sides of A4 paper?
In print setup dialog there is a command like
/usr/bin/lp
that runs in command line, but without any argument.
What is the option that makes the printing on "both sides of A4 page".
Thanks in advance.

I assume that your printer is using CUPS. The best way to do this would be using the command line.

You can print the odd numbered pages, then turn the paper over and print even numbered pages using the following:
Code:
lp -o page-set=odd filename
then turn the paper over and:
Code:
lp -o page-set=even filename
More information about printer options can be found at http://localhost:631/sum.html

I hope this helps
