Till,
I am at an impasse right at the beginning of instructions. For 1. I have
printed a 2 page document in duplex mode (comes out non-duplex) using
Libre and then tried to view the queue by going to
'printers/properties/view queue' but there is no entry there. I have
also gone to 'home' and etc/cups/ppd but there does not seem to be
anything with 'print queue name' but just the extensive file. I used
the terminal to enter /etc/cups/ppd/COOKBOOK_12-title page.doc.ppd but I
get 'no such document.' I must be missing something or not understanding
the instruction.
