[Bug 861493] Re: evince doesn't print duplex on duplex-able printers
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.

[Bug 861493] Re: evince doesn't print duplex on duplex-able printers
Yes, this is a bug: My OKI 331dn now installs with duplex defaulting to off. Problem is, when that's the case, the printer dialog can't be set to duplex on--it's greyed-out. If I change the default to duplex on, then the user can change the setting.

[Bug 861493] Re: evince doesn't print duplex on duplex-able printers
For the record, I had run into a similar issue where the duplex dropdown in the print options dialogue never showed any duplexer option. It turns out that I was missing enabling a Duplexer Installed option in the CUPS control panel administration page for the printer -- once I turned that on the dialogue became healthy again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evince in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/861493 Title: evince doesn't print duplex on duplex-able printers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/861493/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 861493] Re: evince doesn't print duplex on duplex-able printers
I confirm this bug with evince 3.4.0 on Ubuntu 12.04.3. On my system, if one of the following paper sizes was selected PRIOR TO opening the Print dialogue, then the Two-sided: drop-down list control is populated with only a One Sided option: Letter Small Margins 8.5x11in A4 Small Margins 210x297mm If one of the following paper sizes was selected PRIOR TO opening the Print dialogue then it is populated with three options: One Sided, Long Edge (Standard), Short Edge (Flip). US Letter A4 Letter Borderless 8.5x11in A4 Borderless 210x297mm Changing the paper size while the Print dialogue is open does NOT CHANGE the set of options in the Two-sided control. If an option is included and selected then it works: two-sided printing is performed on the selected paper size. Therefore I conclude that this appears to be (at least partly) a bug in the operation of the Print dialog rather than a bug in the printing itself. One work-around is to select a paper size such as A4, cause that setting to be saved (e.g. click on Print Preview and close the preview) and then re-open the Print dialogue. The Two-sided: control will then contain three options. Select the desired paper size and two-sided option and select Print. In my tests, by this means two-sided printing then proceeds successfully on any of the paper sizes I have tried. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evince in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/861493 Title: evince doesn't print duplex on duplex-able printers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/861493/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 861493] Re: evince doesn't print duplex on duplex-able printers
I should add that this only occurs when using Evince. Acrobat Reader and other apps will print double-sided with the borderless setting engaged. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evince in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/861493 Title: evince doesn't print duplex on duplex-able printers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/861493/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 861493] Re: evince doesn't print duplex on duplex-able printers
My experience is similar, but have just learned something that may help narrow the issue. It appears the duplexing will not work whenever I use a media that is borderless (e.g., 8 1/2 x 11 borderless doesn't print on both sides). When I change the setting for the same PDF to print standard US Letter size, the duplexing works and it prints double-sided. I can duplicate this effect. Hope this helps in the debugging. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evince in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/861493 Title: evince doesn't print duplex on duplex-able printers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/861493/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
