Well, I finally scrapped up enough moola to buy a printer for the
PowerBook, one of the new Lexmark 320 laser printers. Looks like a nice
unit for the bucks. Problem is I can't figure out how to print only even
or odd pages so I can print two sided Cocoa Docs! Called Apple tech
support and they pointed me at Lexmark, saying that "features" like
printing only odd or even pages were part of the PPD file from the vendor.
Lexmark says it's Apple's fault and responsibility! So I track down the
PPD in question and do a find for "odd" and "even," but there are no hits.
Tried the same search on several other PPDs--same negative results. So,
is this essential feature missing from OS X, or am I looking in the wrong
place? Any workarounds? All enlightenment appreciated.
