Bug Description
I have a HP LaserJet 2300 that is capable of duplex printing.
But whenever I print from the command-line it is always duplex.
The ubuntu/cups installed help at: http://
There they advice the following:
lpr -o sides=one-sided blah.pdf
But this option has no effect. It always gives me duplex when I want one sided.
Please help.
I am using a fairly up to date Ubuntu Dapper (as at May 27th 2006).
But this problem was in Breezy also.
Note: the original reporter indicated the bug was in package 'cups'; however, that package was not published in Ubuntu.

$ lpr -o Duplex=None blah.pdf
You can list the options available for you printer with this command:
$ lpoptions -l
