Ideed, this is where the "Letter" setting came from. Is there any way to configure that from the command line?
Yes, use 'lpotions'
As I stated before, lpoptions settiongs seem to be ignored.
But I _still_ get _two_ "Media Size" option settings. At least, both show the same value now ("A4"). But IMHO, one of them should go away!
If you have two printer entries you will see those two entries.
You may have only one printer but ...
I have only one printer but I have three entries:
* Raw mode (which is actually postscript) * Brother BR3 script * HP laserjet emulation
The printer can also handle Epson emulation s I could have a fourth entry, but why bother?
No. I am _not_ talking about multiple _printer_ entries.
I am takling about multiple _options_ for the _same_ printer.
So if I open the printing dialog from konqueror, I can choose a specific printer. On the right side of the printer menubutton, there is a button to configure options for that printer. When I press this button, I get a noteBook-Dialog where i can configure page borders. The second tab of this notebook contains extended options for the selected printer. And in _that_ tab, the "Media Size" option appears two times: once with "A4" and the second one with "US Letter".
Please check the attached screen shot. The options "Media Size", "Halftone" and "Neutral Grays" appear multiple times with different values in that dialog.
I've experimented with my Brother. I can set it up like that :-) I can tell it that one tray has US-letter and the 2nd tray has European-A4. I had to put some metallic tape over a sensor because I don't actually have a 2nd physical tray :-) It doesn't seem that * Are you using CUPS? * what is your "Duplex unit"? is the software viewing that as tray 1 + tray 2 even if tray 3 is off * I have my printer network connected and can access it from the browser http://printer.localnet:8080 From there I can turn on/off emulations, feeds etc. Do you have that capability - direct access to printer? It is possible that this "duplicate" information only exists in CUPS. It is also possible that you have a really sophisticated setup an, as I imply above, has setups for each feeder, but us too stupid to realise that "Duplex unit" is there to flip -- as in 'double sided -- and is not actually "tray1 + tray2". Dunno, Just a thought. On my Brother its not called a 'duplex unit'. As to your screenshot ... When I get there I can doubleclick on the value and I get a pulldown to alter the value.
