Tries to produce a version of the PostScript FILE to print in manual Duplex.

-h, --help

display this help and exit

-v, --version

display version information and exit

-q, --quiet

don't print informational messages

-o, --output=FILE

save result in FILE. If FILE is `-', send to stdout

-n, --no-fix

don't call fixps to fix PS problems in FILE

-f, --front

output only the front pages (recto) on the regular tray

-b, --back

output only the back pages (verso) on the manual feed tray

Produced output is meant for PS level 2 printers which don't support Duplex printing, but support Manual Feed. Once the first set of pages is printed (odd pages), manual feed is asked: introduce the odd pages to print the even pages on the other side.

Because there is usually a short time out for manually fed jobs, you should really be next to the printer. If ever the time out expired, use the option -b to send only the missing part.

Environment variables FIXPS, PSSELECT and PSSET, if defined, are used to find the tools.
