Printing On Both Sides of the Paper

The -o sides=two-sided-short-edge and -o sides=two-sided-long-edge options will enable two-sided printing on the printer if the printer supports it. The -o sides=two-sided-short-edge option is suitable for landscape pages, while the -o sides=two-sided-long-edge option is suitable for portrait pages:

  • lp -o sides=two-sided-short-edge filename

  • lp -o sides=two-sided-long-edge filename

  • lpr -o sides=two-sided-long-edge filename

    The default is to print single-sided:

  • lp -o sides=one-sided filename

  • lpr -o sides=one-sided filename
