Congratulations and a big Thank You to Gerhard:
I installed a HP4M+ on my SS5 (Solaris 2.3), but Frame 4.0 wouldn't
send the proper PS command to do software-controlled duplexing.
Gerhard Lausser <lausser@kotw0002.mch.sni.de> replied with the following,
which worked perfectly the very first time:
this is how i solved the duplex problem:
create a file $FMHOME/fminit/FMlpr.duplex which acts as a filter for inserting
the 'duplex-on'-command in the postscript code
FMlpr.duplex calls /usr/local/bin/duplex.$PRINTER which in case of a HP LJ4 is:
#!/usr/bin/awk -f
$1 ~ /^\%\!/ { printf"%s\nstatusdict begin mark true setduplexmode cleartomark end\n",$0 }
$1 !~ /^\%\!/ { print $0 }
from the frame printing menu you type duplex:lp3 as printer name
(replace lp3 by the name of your hp lj4)

# FMlpr.duplex
#
# This script supports printing on both sides of a sheet
# It is called by FrameMaker when a file is printed to printername
# duplex:lp. This script must be called FMlpr.duplex and installed in the
# fminit directory.
# Load arguments into named variables
. $3/FMlpr.init
# Get printer option
OPTION=`echo $PRINTER | sed -e 's/:.*//'`
# Strip off the option part of the printername
# (can't use expr since no string args on UnixV)
PRINTER=`echo $PRINTER | sed -e "s/${OPTION}://"`
# Mod for tray selection on multi-tray Dataproducts LZR 1260 printer
# Note the sed below was hard to get right because of the return. It
# MUST BE DIFFERENT than the code used for FMlpr.ltrhead since the value
# of the shell variable must be substituted, yet the sed arg must be in
# single quotes
eval "cat $FILE | /usr/local/bin/duplex.$PRINTER > $TMPFILE"
echo "$MYNAME: Sending file to printer $PRINTER using option duplex"
# Warning: if the file is too big and the /tmp partition is too small,
# this will fail. The assumption is that letterhead type documents are
# small, so we don't bother to check for this case.
# Replace original ps file with the modified version. That way, they
# have the same descriptive name as before (which is presumably ok for
# short filename systems).
cp $TMPFILE "$FILE"
rm -f $TMPFILE
# Now call FMlpr, but using the new file, and a real printername
