Paper Cut Scripting

[jenkins]

Can anyone help me with a papercut script for simplex/duplex print jobs?

 

I would like the user to get a popup if they try to print in simplex asking them to confirm if they want to print in simplex or if they would like to convert to duplex.

 

I tried modifying the convert to gray scale script that I found on here, although the popup appears properly the jobs do not seem to be getting converted to duplex.

 

 

 

This is what I have so far:

Anyone?

This is our script asking if you want to convert to duplex.

 

/*
* Offer to convert jobs with a high number of pages to duplex
*
* When jobs with a high number of pages are printed (e.g. >50), users will be
* asked via the client tool if they would like their job converted to duplex,
* thereby saving paper.  Users who are not running the client tool will have
* their jobs printed without any changes.
*/
function printJobHook(inputs, actions) {
 // the maximum number of pages before offering to convert to duplex
 var MAX_PAGES = 3;
 // message displayed to the user asking if they would like to convert they job
 // to duplex
 var CONVERT_MESSAGE = 'Would you like to save paper & money by converting it to duplex (double sided)?';
 
 /*
 * This script will need access to the number of pages in the job, which is
 * available after job analysis is complete. If job analysis is not complete
 * we exit here. See the user manual for more details.
 */
 if (!inputs.job.isAnalysisComplete) {
   return;
 }
 
 if (inputs.job.totalPages > MAX_PAGES && !inputs.job.isDuplex) {
   if (inputs.client.isRunning) {
     actions.log.debug('Offering user to convert their job to duplex.');
     
     // User is running the client software. Ask if they want to convert to
     // duplex or cancel.
     var response = actions.client.promptYesNo(CONVERT_MESSAGE);
     
     if (response == 'YES') {
       actions.log.debug('User chose to convert their job to duplex.');
       actions.job.convertToDuplex();
     } else if (response == 'NO') {
       actions.log.debug('User chose not to convert their job to duplex.');
     }
   } else {
     actions.log
       .debug("Didn't offer to convert job to duplex as user is not " +
              'running the client software.');
   }
 }

Thank you so much. I will give this a try.
