double side printing with laserjet 2015dn in Ubuntu 7.10

Asked by Maxim Reshetnyak

Dear colleagues,

I have Laser Jet P2015dn in the local home net. I can print double side documents using Windows XP, but when I use Ubuntu 7.10 I can print only at one side.
To install it in Ubuntu I used hplip-2.8.6.run script. In fact I checked all (4) choises but all of them do not offer option for double side printing. For printing ps-files I used Evince 2.20.1.

With best regards,
Maxim Reshetnyak.

If the printer doesn't have a duplex unit you will have to use the manual duplex process.

http://hplip.sourceforge.net/howtos/printing.html#manualdup

It appears that at least some of these units come with the duplexor installed, then you should only need to configure hplip to use the duplex.

Run

hp-toolbox

Click print settings
Where double-sided printer select the type of double-sided printing you'd like. Long Edge is the standard.

Then print.
