Good points all, but I suspect not my problem. I almost mentioned during my post that folks should ignore the fact that my HP-LIP (3.14.4) had been released just the day before my post. It is, in fact, the "latest and greatest" as they say. But the problem I'm experiencing has existed for quite a while - I was just too busy to take the time to write about it.
Regarding 'The Duplexing of a sheet that has only one page seems "normal" to me', I have to disagree, if only because of the paper weight limitations and the potential for jamming. I have found, like you, that such behavior is "common" but it represents, I believe, poor (or thoughtless) coding. The last two duplex printers I've had (HP: 5400, 6700) correctly (again, in my view) permit the default behavior to be chosen by the user, but out of the box, they will print single pages without feeding the sheet through the duplexer. Interestingly, my 6700 permits you to specify whether pages are output face up or face down. I suspect this causes the duplex mechanism to be used for flipping them (I haven't actually tried this). I'm not sure why this capability exists, but I always vote for more flexibility so long as reasonable defaults are set for those who don't care to "fiddle" with settings. Of course, comparing all this with the need to recompile my copy of Telewriter-64 on my Radio Shack Color Computer back in the late 70s so that I could switch from using my Tandy printer to my new Okidata - - - well, I suppose things are better now, but it's hard to say several decades's worth of better :) -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Possible-LibreOffice-Duplex-Printing-Bug-tp4104713p4104764.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
