Bug ID: 149228
Summary: sorted Duplex printing (default) messed up
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.2.6.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Printing and PDF export

Description:
I'm sorry I couldn't find a short sentence that describes the problem. I want
to print a 2-page document multiple times. I set in the print dialog let's say
50 copies. Below is a check box named "sorted" or similar (I have it in
German), which is enabled. The corresponding images show "1,2,3 - 1,2,3" pages,
so I assume, that each copy is printed with page 1 on the front page and page 2
on the back page. If I uncheck the "sorted" box, it shows "1,1,1 - 2,2,2" which
lets me assume that then first it will print all first pages (50 times, duplex,
so you have 25 papers whith page 1 on both sides and 25 pages with page 2 on
both sides). I understand that this may be useful when printing one-sided, but
it makes no sense to me when it's duplex printed.
What happens is: when I have the check-box for sorted printing checked, I get
what is shown by the small images when sorted is unchecked, so it prints 25
papers with page one on both sides and 25 with page 2 on both sides. This is
stupid and cost me already a lot of paper and ink (=money).
Even if I just misinterpret the images next to the sorted check-box (which I
don't think I do), it is wrong to have this as the default setting. When I want
to print duplex, I naturally want to have page 1 and 2 on one sheet, and not
two sheets whith each the same page on either side.
Note that this happens only when printing multiple copies, which is natural.
One more thing: I tried printing with "sorted" unchecked, I got the same
result. When checking it again, it worked correctly. It seems to be important
to have also "print individual print jobs" checked, but this doesn't have an
effect the first time...
Steps to Reproduce:
1. take a multi-page document
2. print multiple copies of the document with a duplex printer as duplex
printing
3. keep the "sorting" check-box checked
Actual Results:
You get multiple papers with page one on both sides, later multiple papers with
page two on both sides
Expected Results:
You get multiple papers with page one on the one side and page two on the other
side...
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
OpenGL enabled: Yes
