Till, thanks for digging out the patch. Can you please enhance the changelog with an explanation how the patch works? (or just mention it here if you don't want to reupload). The patch is by far not obvious, and I wonder why the /Duplex /Tumble /ManualFeed had been there previously in the first place. I'd like to make sure that the patch is properly understood and does not cause regressions for other users with duplex/manual feed etc. Thank you! ** Changed in: cups (Ubuntu Intrepid) Status: New = Invalid ** Changed in: ghostscript (Ubuntu Intrepid) Status: New = Incomplete -- duplex printing through CUPS no longer works https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/308817 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

pitti, it is the following upstream bug in Ghostscript: http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=690041 The bug was discovered under Windows, but Frank Zimmerman's success message in this bug report shows that it was also a problem for Linux. The problem creeped in with the ESP/GPL Ghostscript merger. This commit was to do two other things and as a third (accidental, therefore not documented in log) change the bug was introduced: http://www.ghostscript.com/pipermail/gs-cvs/2007-May/007499.html http://svn.ghostscript.com/viewvc/branches/gs-esp-gpl-merger/lib/gs_setpd.ps?view=logpathrev=7929#rev7928 http://svn.ghostscript.com/viewvc/branches/gs-esp-gpl-merger/lib/gs_setpd.ps?r1=7929r2=7928pathrev=7929 ** Changed in: ghostscript (Ubuntu Intrepid) Status: Incomplete = Confirmed -- duplex printing through CUPS no longer works https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/308817 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 308817] Re: duplex printing through CUPS no longer works
Kristian Erik Hermansen, this bug was initially assigned to CUPS by one of the volunteer triagers because he saw that it is about printing but he was not aware of the internals of the printing workflow and all the packages which are involved (in contrary to scanning with SANE where the SANE package contains the core and all drivers). The triager still did a good thing by assigning the bug to CUPS as this way he raised my attention and I started the investigation. You have discovered this bug report and as at least the symptoms of your problem are the same as of the initial reporter you have marked the bug Confirmed. The hint that Ghostscript could be the culprit I got only after you having kicked in. And today I came to the idea that some of the posters here could suffer bug 299918. I made appropriate comments and not having any hint for CUPS being the culprit and also not having done any upload of CUPS which cured the problem for someone posting here I invalidated the CUPS task. No one really proved that CUPS could have caused the bug. -- duplex printing through CUPS no longer works https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/308817 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Till, That makes sense, but in the future, when you mark something as invalid due to the package name please do consider adding the correct package at the same time. Since you did this later, it appeared to simply be marked as invalid without any other additions. Also, bug 299918 fixes do not work for me either. If you have any other ideas, please let me know.

I'm having the same problem with Ubuntu 8.10, but with an HP Photosmart P1100 with a duplex attachment.

However, when I print from Firefox, the print dialog's Page Setup tab shows Two- sided: Not available, and attempting to print duplex from the command line, as in: lpr -o sides=two-sided-long-edge -o page-ranges=1-2 file.pdf only prints single sided (even though it respects the page range properly processes the pdf file). -- duplex printing through CUPS no longer works https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/308817 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Dear Till: Thanks for your reply. In the meantime I have been experimenting with the bug, and I fixed it myself---I'm curious to see whether the upgrades you point to will also fix the problem, and I will let you know. At any rate, calling my printer 'cp', I compared the two cp.ppd's generated one by Ubuntu 8.04 and the other by Ubuntu 8.10. Using the old one on the new system fixed the loss of double-sided printing problem. After some block-by-block and line-by-line replacements of old by new, it seems that the only offending line in the new .ppd is in the header block (line 12 of actual code), namely, *cupsFilter: application/vnd.cups-pdf 0 foomatic-rip Commenting out this line, as in *%cupsFilter: application/vnd.cups-pdf 0 foomatic-rip in the 8.10 vintage .cpp is enough to fix the problem (whatever the reason). Thanks for your assistance, and best to everybody on launchpad.

[Bug 308817] Re: duplex printing through CUPS no longer works
I have the same problem with a similar history. Under 08.04, duplex printing worked fine to a Xerox 5500 and a Xerox Phaser 8550DP. After upgrading to 08.10, duplexing works on the 5500 but not the 8550DP, as tested by printing the same document through evince. ** Changed in: ubuntu Status: New = Confirmed -- duplex printing through CUPS no longer works https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/308817 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

After the release of Intrepid we have fixed a lot of printing-related bugs. Please update your system at first and then try again. Do sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade This will install a bunch of packages. When it finishes, try to print again and tell whether the problem still persists. -- duplex printing through CUPS no longer works https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/308817 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
