I checked - it's not ticked. `Force Postscript printing' is both ticked
and greyed out, but since the only printer I've got at the moment is in
fact a PS printer, that makes sense.lp

Hmm - tried that, got the same again: flashing orange light on the
printer, and a message from the printer utility's `Status' Web page
saying:

Status: Manual Feed: Press [Enter] - an `Enter' button is available on
the Web page in question (refresh status, enter, or cancel job).

If I press `Enter' on the status page, `it prints' - although only one
sided.  This is the behaviour I saw before following your suggestion.

I have sent PS files directly to that printer in the past (I forget all
the details0 by dropping them on the particular printer queue's icon and
that worked okay.

Is there any way of arranging for two sided printing from OzTeX without
having to select two-sided printing by default using the printer utility
(aka the printer's built-in Web server for controlling such things).

Manual paper feed is not in use as far as the printer itself is
concerned - all manual feed flaps shut, the only paper tray normally
inserted with a good load of paper, and no blinking lights indicating a
lack of paper.

<read, read>

As I understand it, the incantation you've just given me forces the
generated PS to be sent to /that/ printer.

Well, the PS was being sent to the right printer in any case - it just
wasn't printing out when I sent the file.

Something's a bit off somewhere - not very off, but a bit off.
Something to do with the details of the PS being sent to the printer,
I'd guess, but what?  I suppose I could get a book on PS and start
learning, but before I do that, anyone got any more ideas?

Thanks to all for your ideas,
Rowland.
