#19081 — Printing Postscript multiples

Every fortnight my wife gets a pdf file to print 15 copies off. She has
problems printing this from her Macbook Lite.

So I use RiscOS. !PDFtest primts it, but not quite to scale.

So I have used PDFUtils: *pdftops <filename> creates a PostScript file. If
I drop this on the Printer icon I get one perfect printout.

But how can I print 15 off?

The .ps file is 5MB and takes a significant time to get to the printer.
Yes, I can drop it on the printer icon 15 times and wait. But that's a
pain, and a long job!

This is using a Brother duplex printer with Richard Darby's definition
file.

Is there any reason why you don't use !PDF? As far as I know, it prints
perfectly to scale, while you can specify any number of copies.

!PDFTest is an enhanced version of !PDF with more facilities

But it doesn't run on my 4té (Pi4). It freezes the machine while loading,

try this version, It requires VFP which you should have on your Pi4

https://www.riscosports.co.uk/vfp/pdftest.zip

This is 3.03.1.25alpha 9 (22 Aug 2015)

The Help file is within the application, it just lists the changes to each 
version.

For some odd reason the link above is missing from the Vfp Download page 
of Chris Gransden webpage.

I am using this version happily on my ARMX6 and have been for a long time.

This version doesn't freeze the machine, but it doesn't run either. Nothing
visible happens at all.

How do I control if VFP is on my computer? In the SharedLibs.lib.abi-2/0
directory, there's a VFP subdirectory with a lot of files.

OK that version has issues with SWP and some Zeropain issues.

Go off to Jan De Boer's site , www.tellima.nl/riscos

and download PatchSWP and run the !Runimage through it and then save it 
back in to PDFTest as !RunImage and it will run.

Just tried it here and it runs ok on my Pi.

Also updated PDF as well the same way.

AFAIK you don't it is with the system chip or not.

Excellent - but how do I persuade it to print duplex, please?

What I need is to print four A5 pages as a pamphlet on to A4. It does the 
setup beautifully but will only produce two separate sheets.

Regards,

Jonathan.

Duplex printing is usually set by the printer driver - or directly on the
printer itself. However...

!PDF has a pamphlet option in the Print menu. Make sure that you haven't
set duplex printing on the printer driver and start printing. Half way, the
program will ask you to turn the paper over. Ready. (That is, I had to
experiment a bit as to how exactly the paper should be turned over, but
pamphlet printing is surely possible.)

Kind regards,
Paul

Thank you - fine for the odd copy but not for a batch. At the moment I 
email the PDF to my PC and it prints the pamphlet as required to the same 
network printer.

Err goto to the print option from the menu over the document, and tick the 
"Double sided printing" I would think. Obviously your printer driver must 
also support double sided printing.

O.K., I did that and selected 'Pamphlet' but still two separate sheets. I 
can email the PDF file to the PC and it works fine to the same network 
printer. I'm using the Postscript 2 printer option on the iMX6 and 
printing to the file as normal. Obviously getting something wrong 
somewhere.

So you are using a network printer? Ok then why are you using Postscript 2 
? You need to send it your printer direct as the Postscript 2 driver does 
not actually support flipping the page for duplex (Double sided printing).

Does your printer support PCL5 or 6 or even better Postscript/Bscript, 
etc.? What model/make of printer is it.

Richard Darby has various Duplex drivers that can used with your network 
printer - available via !Store they are free.

Kyocera Ecosys P5026

Installed that. However, it seems that I still have to flip the paper 
manually. If I don't set Print Both Sides and from that Pamphlet then it 
does proper Duplex but not the Pamphlet. Hmm. Either I'm doing something 
very wrong or I can have Duplex but not Pamphlet or Pamphlet and not 
Duplex.

Comments please.

I nice printer, just looked up the specs (I also have a Kyocera).

Yours has PCL 6 (PCL 5c/PCL-XL), Postscript 3 (KPDL 3)

KPDL is Kyocera version of Postscript (to save on the rather high licence 
fees)

Hmm not sure what going on here, sounds like a conflict of instructions to 
the printer maybe.

In the printer driver have you set Double sided printing on the RISC OS 
side.

Actually looking at !PDF print configuration (which I admit is somewhat 
poor)  to the right of the option to double sided printing, is a SETUP 
button and within that is a turn the paper over option, plus landscape 
options which you might need to use. You could try that.

You should really turn this OFF for pamphlet printing. !PDF is taking care
for double sided printing, by letting you turn the papers manually at some
point. You probably need to tick the 'landscape' printing in the setup
menu. It's a bit of experimenting, but PDF pamphlet printing can certainly
be done.

Kind regards,

If you wangle the setup right it should be possible to print multiple
copies in pamphlet format while flipping the pages manually (I've
certainly done it from Impression in the past) - but you do have to get
the flip axis and page sort order set right out of at least 4 potential
combinations depending on your specific printer....

See if that fixes your issue.
