| attah | piggz: is two-sided printing borked for you? i.e. back sides are upside down even for regular two-sided? | 18:52 |
|---|---|---|
| piggz | attah: send me a doc you;d like to test | 19:34 |
| attah | Any minimum 2 page pdf will do... google gives this http://www.africau.edu/images/default/sample.pdf | 19:36 |
| attah | put transfer format to pwg-raster | 19:36 |
| attah | (should be default, but nice to rule out the heuristics) | 19:37 |
| attah | and of course remember to change the sides setting to two-sided (: | 19:39 |
| attah | it could also fail completely... | 19:51 |
| piggz | attah: well, printer jumped to life..... | 19:53 |
| attah | but no output? | 19:53 |
| piggz | attah: nope, its printed ... page 2 is upside down if you flip like a book | 19:55 |
| piggz | but correct if you flip vertically | 19:55 |
| attah | aka, not what one would want :/ | 19:55 |
| piggz | no, probably not | 19:55 |
| piggz | just say its afeature, and theyre flipping pages the wrong way | 19:56 |
| attah | I just stumbled across that some printers may request that the client helps them to do the flipping with for the backsides | 19:56 |
| attah | and well, i had missed that part... and it will be a hot mess to implement | 19:57 |
| piggz | attah: what if a different format is used for transfer? | 19:58 |
| attah | indeed, please test urf-raster | 19:59 |
| attah | it is undocumented, so fingers crossed that it does not need this silly special handling | 19:59 |
| attah | it is basically the same as PWG, just a different header | 20:00 |
| piggz | attah: same result | 20:07 |
| attah | fun... wonder how they convey that - because both my nearby duplex-capable printers do urf, and neither does that | 20:08 |
| piggz | attah: does ipptransform help? https://github.com/istopwg/ippsample/blob/master/tools/ipptransform.c | 20:13 |
| attah | yes, that probably will do it just fine... but at this point i'm too deep down the rabbot hole to start depending on CUPS | 20:16 |
| attah | i assume it links libcups or whatever it's called | 20:17 |
| attah | no, it has a copy of cups O.o | 20:17 |
| attah | or you mean i could peek at how it knows how to rotate urf? very possible | 20:19 |
| attah | but it could also use ppd files, because stoneage | 20:19 |
| piggz | attah: it says it only supports ipp everywhere or hp pcl https://istopwg.github.io/ippsample/ | 20:24 |
| attah | but it very clearly has urf/airprint stuff too... i guess they just aren't allowed to speak about it | 20:26 |
| attah | and i misread... it does not consult a printer, it just takes it as a parameter | 20:27 |
| attah | so what to do is all commandline anyway | 20:28 |
| attah | piggz: oh well, i need to sleep... thanks for testing! | 20:29 |
| attah | good night | 20:29 |
| piggz | attah: gn | 20:30 |
