Re: How set the printer driver default to Two Sided Printing



Hi,
At the present time the Duplex panel uses None as its default value. I agree this is suboptimal and we should consider using the PPD's default in the future. Please file a Radar so we can track this.


Note that the Duplex panel does respect saved settings so users can choose a duplexing option and save it with a saved print setting.

Thanks,
David Gelphman

Hi Dave,

Thank you for your response.
I checked our PPD and found the following:

*OpenUI *Duplex: PickOne
*OrderDependency: 50 AnySetup *Duplex
*DefaultDuplex: DuplexNoTumble
*Duplex None/Simplex: "<</Duplex false /Tumble false >> setpagedevice"
*Duplex DuplexNoTumble/Duplex long-edge binding: "<</Duplex true / Tumble
false>> setpagedevice"
*Duplex DuplexTumble/Duplex short-edge binding: "<</Duplex true / Tumble
true>> setpagedevice"
*?Duplex: "
currentpagedevice dup /Duplex get {
/Tumble get {(DuplexTumble)} {(DuplexNoTumble)} ifelse
}{/Tumble get {(SimplexTumble)} {(None)} ifelse
} if ="
*End
*CloseUI: *Duplex


As you can see the DefaultDuplex is DuplexNoTumble, but this is not
taken over in the standard mac printer driver Layout pane.
I tried to look up what PPD-keyword match with the options in the layout
pane but I did not find anything appropriate on that.
Do you have a suggestion?


Regards,

Hans
