I have encountered a probably related problem. I have a Samsung ML- 2152W (and my driver is postscript).
On the printer's panel, I have duplex off. From "System Settings" application (from the main KDE menu), I selected my printer and disabled duplexing. Yet, any postscript document I printed came out duplex! It was very frustrating. Then I decided to print from Konqueror. When I clicked "Properties" for the printer, and selected the driver settings, lo and behold, the duplexer setting there was enabled! So, I disabled it and saved the settings. Now, things print single-sided as I had wanted. This suggests to me that the KDE control panel for CUPS doesn't work right, but for some reason, other apps are able to affect the setting, and THAT affects other apps and just plain-old feeding postscript files to lp. This is an inconsistency between KDE's control panel and other KDE apps. Could a moderator push this as possibly a KDE bug? It occurred to me that this setting could be per-application, but that makes no sense, because many apps, like gimp-print and Firefox, don't know anything about it and have no way to allow you to specify it. Interestingly, however, OpenOffice seems to have a setting that is both independent of other apps AND does not affect other apps. The inconsistency is maddening. -- lpr -o sides=one-sided HAS NO EFFECT https://launchpad.net/bugs/47263 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
