AI Thread Summary
To enable duplex printing on a printer in Fedora 11, users may encounter issues accessing printer properties through the System/Administration/Printing interface. If the properties dialog does not open, reconfiguration via the terminal may be necessary. Identifying the specific model of the HP LaserJet printer can aid in troubleshooting. For command line printing, the duplex option can be specified using the command "lpr -Zduplex filetorprint.pdf." Additionally, many applications like Firefox and Acrobat Reader allow users to modify print commands, ensuring the inclusion of the -Zduplex option for double-sided printing.

I need to set up the printer so it will print on both sides but when I go into System/Administration/Printing and click on the Printer tab and click properties, nothing happens. Am I supposed to re-configure it using the terminal? What should I do?

What kind of printer is it exactly?

Can you find out?
 
If you're printing from the command line the way to tell it to do duplex printing is
lpr -Zduplex filetorprint.pdf

I think most programs (e.g., firefox, acrobat reader) let you edit the printing command they use, so just make sure the -Zduplex option is in there.

Thread 'Urgent: Physically repair - or bypass - power button on Asus laptop'

Asus Vivobook S14 flip. The power button is wrecked. Unable to turn it on AT ALL. We can get into how and why it got wrecked later, but suffice to say a kitchen knife was involved: These buttons do want to NOT come off, not like other lappies, where they can snap in and out. And they sure don't go back on. So, in the absence of a longer-term solution that might involve a replacement, is there any way I can activate the power button, like with a paperclip or wire or something? It looks...
