Package: cups
Version: 2.2.10-6+deb10u3
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
I have an HP printer configured via HPLIP and shared in LAN.
The version of HPLIP installed is
hplip 3.18.12+dfsg0-2+b2
hplip-data 3.18.12+dfsg0-2
I can print successfully in sequential order, but not in reverse.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I tried to print a set of pages (the even ones) in reverse order so that I can
print a document double-side, after printing the odd ones.
* What was the outcome of this action?
- If I tried to print the even pages in reverse order I obtained also a blank
page
that resulted in an offset of the printing, e.g. behind page 3 was page 6
instead of page 4. I want to point out that the blank page was found in both
"even" and "odd" printing job. Those pages weren't in the document.
- If I manually inserted pages values "10,8,6,4,2" the result was
pages "2,4,6,8,10", even if "reverse order" was NOT checked.
This obviously resulted in page 10 printed behind page 1, 8 behind page 3,
and so on.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
What I did expect in both cases was being able to print pages 1,3,5,7,9 and
then pages 10,8,6,4,2 .
