Well, it's an option on the 6500N but was not mounted on
this specific printer. The on-site support guy said he
would look for a duplex unit to mount, but he never
come back for that test. I'll ask him about that.

Now, DCPS doesn't know what printer is out there.
All printing is done with generic PS. And, I think the
6500N is newer than the DCPS kit anyway, so it can't
know about it.

B.t.w, I didn't know that the 3250 had duplex printing as
standard, I thought it was a normal cheap modell... :-)
