Printing gripe

[stopthegop]

This is a minor gripe but I would like to find a generic laser printer driver for the Amiga which will allow me to print only even and odd numbered pages at a time.  I own Turboprint7, but I cannot find that particular option anywhere.  Does anyone else know how I can do double sided printing of simple text files without resorting to doing it one sheet at a time using the manual feed?  That gets really **cking old with a 70 page document..     :lol:    I guess the other option is Pagestream (which I also have), but that requires a lot of fiddling and formatting to set up a large file to print double sided..  These are simple but big text files that I want to print -- fast, double-sided and with not much fuss.   Anyone know a good way to go about this?  Thanks

That would be great if you wouldn't mind!?  I have a Brother 1240..  I think it is HP compatible..  Not 100% sure about that

Yes, your Brother HL-1240 is HP PCL 4 compatible but it is NOT a duplex printer

Thats why I want to be able to print just ODD numbered pages first, then to just reorient the pages in the auto feeder and print EVEN numbered pages.  Call it "auto" duplex printing on a budget.    :-)

When I select "Print..." (with elipses) from a program's menu options and I get a popup with three choices such as "print" (no elipses), "settings...", and "cancel", what is it I'm changing when I select "settings..."?   Are any changes I make to these settings unique to the application I'm using or are they global, affecting the way all applications will print?  This is where I would expect to find the option to print either EVEN, ODD, or ALL.  My understanding is that these settings are options for the printer "driver", affecting the way all applications print (assuming the changes are saved and not "applied")?  Is this not right?  If this dialog where I change printing options is not part of the application and it isn't "the driver", what is it?

Any verdict on this question of sending printer stuff to and from ethernet ports?
