Yes, this is still a bug, and still unfixed. My new HP duplex printer works fine from lpr on the command line with the right options for double-sided, and qpdfview can also print both sides, but because the printer default for duplex is Off, Evince's drop-down is stuck on One- Sided and refuses to admit that the printer is capable of both sides.
Setting the default behavior to simplex shouldn't eliminate user choice; but it does. Can someone please fix this? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to evince in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/861493 Title: evince doesn't print duplex on duplex-able printers Status in evince package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have a postscript-printer, which can print on both sides of the paper (duplex). When I print a file with "lpr -Pduplex file.pdf", everything is o.k., when I do that in evince (selecting printer duplex), it prints every page on a single sheet, so it acts not the same as lpr does. This happens with Ubuntu 10.04.3. evince is in 2.30.3-0ubuntu1.2.
