How can I print double-sided with ipptool?
I am using the comming line ipptool for printing, which is a low-level tool in the CUPS daemon for internet printing.
IPP is a HTTP-based protocol for internet printers, most current LAN-based office printers are supporting it.
I used the following command for print:
ipptool -tv -f /path/to/my.pdf ipp://myprinter.on.mylocal.net/ipp/ printfile.ipp
Where my printfile.ipp defines the characteristics/capabilities of my printer, as follows:
{
OPERATION Print-Job
GROUP operation-attributes-tag
ATTR charset attributes-charset utf-8
ATTR language attributes-natural-language en
ATTR uri printer-uri $uri
FILE $filename
}
What I know for sure:
- Single-sided PDF printing is working seamlessly.
- The printer is a relative ordinary HP office printer,
- Which is capable to print double-sided without any problem (co-workers with Windows can do that).
I found this printfile with google and seems working, however any deeper digging about its exact format and specification resulted only cloudy specs and docs. Even the name of the file format of this IPP file is unclear for me.
How could I make it to print double-sided?

Using ipptool, you can configure a job to use duplex printing by adding
ATTR keyword sides two-sided-long-edge
or
ATTR keyword sides two-sided-short-edge
to the job description, depending on the layout you want.
See RFC 2911 for details.

While @StephenKitt's answer of course is correct, I want to add a few details:
The line he suggested HAS to appear after the two lines with
ATTR charset ...andATTR language ....The filename can be anything you want. You could name it, for example,
ipp-print-duplex.txt.The file format specification can be found by reading
man ipptoolfileon any Linux system. (It ships as part of any package that also shipsipptoolitself.)
Invoke it like this:
ipptool -t -v -f my.pdf <device-uri> ipp-print-duplex.txt
where you use as the
<device-uri>value exactly the same string which you get returned when you callippfind(which should also have been shipped alongsideipptoolitself).
