Generic PCL-6/PCL-XL.

I would expect that to be handled by the driver rather than the printer, in which case it wouldn't
have to do anything; merely having the option set is suffice.  That kind of high level functionality
usually is handled by the driver; any duplexing, stapling, etc. would be handled by sending those
commands to the printer rather than a booklet command per se.

Do you remember what settings you were using?

Unfortunately, we don't offer that option.

IIRC our driver offers 150x150, 300x300, and 600x600 DPI.
