I've been creating printer documents that contain a duplex and simplex page. I've been adding a blank page to the back of the simplex page to make it appear as a duplex page and simplex page, but actually is duplex for the entire document, which as been controlled at the printer. It is also being pulled from 2 trays and stapled. The code worked fine, but now I need to actually make the document toggle between duplex and simplex. Not that familiar with postscript. Just takes a lot of experimentation to get things to work.
The working code, before needing to specify duplex/simplex is -
"<</MediaColor (pink)>> setpagedevice << /Staple 0 >> setpagedevice << /Staple 3 /StapleDetails <</Type 1 /StapleLocation (SinglePortrait) >> >> setpagedevice"
I tried -
"<</MediaColor (pink)>> setpagedevice << /Staple 0 >> setpagedevice << /Staple 3 /StapleDetails <</Type 1 /StapleLocation (SinglePortrait) >> >> setpagedevice <</Duplex true/Tumble false>> setpagdevice", but not only does it not print, it fails to generate as a pdf file. It does as a postscript, but that file can't be distilled.
The error I get for pdf generation is PDF creation failed.

Any thoughts? Definitely need it to generate both a ps and pdf. I'll try printing the postscript to see if that works, but doubt it.
