Dear list, I have the following sample: \setupinteractionscreen[option={paper,page}] \starttext \ConTeXt\ is awesome! \stoptext The values for the option key should enable "/PickTrayByPDFSize true" and "/Duplex /Simplex" in the PDF file. But I get an undesired "/PrintScaling /None" (I need to reduce the document to printing margins.) Checking lpdf-mis.lua, I see that there are two lists (or dictionaries, maybe [the technical term is beyond my knowledge]) controlling the printing options: pagespecs and plusspecs (both are local). page, portrait, landscape and paper involve fixed in the pagespecs dictionary. But these values don’t involve fixed in the plusspecs dictonary. How can I invoke the plusspecs dictionary from ConTeXt, so I can get duplex printing in the PDF file (or "/PickTrayByPDFSize true") without having to disable page scaling? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

The plusspec entries are used for the second and following arguments of the option key, you can use this and pass the none keyword as first argument in the list which doesn’t preset values.

Many thanks for your reply, Wolfgang. I would say this might be too tricky for newcomers, but it works fine. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
