I have an IBM Network 17 laser printer setup on a Suse 9 machine (parallel
port).  CUPS is installed, and I share it as a Samba resource from that
machine.  My windows machines have accessed it without a problem - implying
that I get full functionality, what I am particularly interested in is
duplexing.

So ... windows boxes install a driver, connect to the printer no problem,
duplex as desired.

I recently installed Fedora Core 3 on a new machine.  It is up and running
and now I wanted to add printers to it.  I go to add a cups printer on a
network machine, I select the IBM Network 17 driver through the gui, print
the test page and I assumed I was good to go.

Issue:  The duplexing feature does not work.  I can select an option that
allows for duplexing, but it does not work. (this feature is part of the
driver - or so it appears).  I have tried what is suppose to be the Lexmark
equivalent driver and it does the same thing.

Any thoughts on how to "fix" this issue?  Probably in terms of settings in a
printcap file or equiv.?  I would like to start using this machine heavily,
but it is annoying to not be able to print properly without having to swap
back to a windows machine.

Thanks in advance.
