Anybody out there working with sending printer codes with Reports 2.5?

I have a duplex report that I have to send to an HP 4M Postscript and I have to figure out how to get the report to put the printer into duplex mode (and and back again) without the end-user having to change the Print Manager settings (Win95).

I see in the manuals where you can put Postscript codes in a custom .PRT configuration file, but there aren't any codes listed for simplex/duplex.

The only other solution I've come up with is setting up two queues to the same printer, one simplex amd one duplex, but this seem a little too contrived to be a viable production solution.

I would be immensely grateful for all comments/suggestions (CC by mail, if possible).
