[SOLVED] Duplex printing support for HP printers missing

[ssri]

Hi,

Recently I cleaned out ubuntu, installed jaunty and immediately upgraded to kde 4.3.0. I noticed that I was unable to print articles using duplex printing. The articles came out one page per sheet. I enjoyed having this feature in my intrepid install (running kde 4.2.2) and I am amiss why this feature did work in jaunty even though I checked the setting and enabled the option to print out in duplex in the document viewers I used (okular, foxit [wine], acrobat [POS]). Installing hplip-gui did not improve matters either.

Re: Duplex printing support missing

I'll try it with the color laser printer tomorrow. Could it be a regression in cups?

I installed HP's newer version of hplip and now duplexing works! So, I guess the version that got packaged with jaunty suffered from regressions--intrepid's version worked just fine.

Now, if only I could launch foxit (wine) from firefox's dialog menu
