It is probably best we part company at this point. You have rejected my
direction of travel in advance of any help to be offered and do not want
to follow it.
Because its been tried several times and doesn't work. It was told to use the
lower tray to duplex print a 19 page text file in landscape mode, but landscape
was the only order it recognized, it used the last 3 sheets of 50 cent a sheet
photo paper and 16 more sheets of copy paper I had to put in the upper tray,
single sided and took about 45 minutes. It should have followed orders and
done it in duplex, long edge binding, in a few seconds over 3 minutes.

Everything is under control. Try to keep it that way.
Incidentally, your prejudiced remarks about Apple were (at best) on the
misleading side. Debian CUPS does not use Apple's repositories.
So I shouldn't be bothering Mike Sweet? The man that wrote cups? I've only
known Mike since the late 80's.
OTOH, if you know a magic way to make it work driverless, lay it on me and
I'll create a 3rd and 4th profile to test it.
Thanks & Cheers, Gene
