--- Comment #52 from crxssi <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Andreas Säger from comment #51) > Even with the help of wikipedia I do not understand what "Duplex" means and > why it requires blank sheets of paper "Duplex" just means "printing on both sides of the paper". Automatic duplexing is something a printer can do, optionally, if it has the ability to turn the paper over and print on the other side. It can be done manually too, although this is quite a challenge for multi-page documents. It requires blank pages if the program assumes the printer WILL be printing duplex, and yet you are actually printing something like labels, envelopes, or forms, which are NOT duplex and must not be printed duplex. The root problem is that it should never assume a printer will default to printing duplex... that just makes no sense in any environment I have ever seen. >, but I think this shouldn't be a > document specific setting nor should it be stored globally. I think it is > printer specific, isn't it? Whether a printer can (is able to) print duplex or not is a printer setting (or a CUPS setting). Whether you WANT it to print duplex is another, totally different setting. I can't imagine that anyone would really want duplex printing "on" by default. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue. You are watching all issue changes.
