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.
