Description Christoph Ziegler 2009-03-04 06:26:21 UTC
hello,
i want to create PCL Duplex Output (to print) from a pdf File.
i uses itanium (64) hpux 11.23 or windows.

There are two steps to create PCL
1.) Tool "pdftops" to create postscript (we use "pdftops" with the "-duplex" option)
2.) ghostscript-8.62.0-ia64-11.23._1 to create pcl from ps File
i use "gs -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=ljet4d -dDuplex
-sOutputFile=testduplex-gs.pcl -sPAPERSIZE=a4 testduplex.ps"

the result is a PCL File with Duplex Long-edge binding, but all pages are
frontpages.

I try the commando on hpux, suse linux and winnt. On hpux an windows i get a
wrong result (only frontpages). On linux i get a pcl Duplex Long-edge binding
with front and backpages. 

The production works on hpux

Please upgrade to the recent (Feb 3 2009) 8.64 release. There was a fix to
duplexing in the PCL drivers included. If the problem persists after the
upgrade, please attach the PS input file (testduplex.ps).

hello ray,
thanks for your input.

i have update a windows system to 8.6.4 and it works now (result is DUPLEX 
with front and back page).

Now i will update my HPUX System, test it and send you and update

Thanks

We don't provide binaries (except for 32-bit windows). If you have problems
building 8.64, please let us know (email or phone).
