[PRL] Printing to gaugin

[Carl Eastlund]

Follow-up to the previous thread, re: duplexing and collating when
printing to gaugin.

Christopher Noyes sent me a link for setting up print queues on Mac.
They recently changed the print server from LPRNG to CUPS, and
apparently IPP clients now work better than LPR clients.  When I
followed the directions in the link he gave, I was able to set up a
single queue (no "normal" vs "-duplex" versions), and it did both
two-sided printing and collated printing correctly.

Similar instructions may apply to other print queues (hiro, renoir)
and OSes (Linux, Windows), but I don't know for sure.

Quite a few do still apparently.  Cups emulates LPR support which is why
I forwarded you that guide.  If you are printing from a GUI now you
should be able to configure it as an IPP printer queue instead.  I don't
have a Linux IPP guide written up yet but you should be able to gleam
the information required from the OSX version of the guide:
http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/phoenix/tutorials/Adding_a_Printer_to_Mac_OSX.html
.  I don't have a way to adjust how LPR works in Cups, so I recommend
you try setting up an IPP queue instead.
