Description rosgnilk 2013-02-07 16:36:26 UTC
Problem description: it's not possible to print duplex from LO. it works from all other software. I tried all kind of different settings with no luck.

Steps to reproduce:
1. print
2. change settings to duplex

Current behavior: prints still single paged

Expected behavior: should print douplex

rosgnilk: I put it at New since there's a duplicate (considering "See also", I think there are more than 1)

Michael: it seems the Duplex printing option are present in several bugtrackers.
Do you know who may help about this?

Same problem with LO 4.0.2.2 and a HP OJ8600+ on Ubuntu 13.04 (64bits) and HP LPIP 3.13.8. The duplex printing works fine with Adobe reader (for instance), but can't be set with LO 4.0.2.2.

added 60428 as see also, as he has the inverted problem. (default settings: duplex, LO set to single paged)

therefore i conclude that the duplex setting is just ignored.

I confirm this with HP Officejet 8610 with the following software/OS pairs:


- Ubuntu 12.04 + LO 4.2.6.3
- Windows 8.1 + 4.1.04

Duplex printing is ignored:
- On Ubuntu it prints one page only
- On Windows it doesn't print at all

Can confirm this for HP Officejet Pro 8100 on Debian 7 Wheezy, too.

Libreoffice 4.2.6.3 does not change settings for duplex and page flipping.

Thanks for the repro! This has been a tricky bug, as it requires some specific hardware.

Gwen/Miguel: Could one of you try bibisecting to see when this problem first appeared in LibreOffice?
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Bibisect

Even checking with a LibreOffice 3.5 build would very helpful, as it could help determine how long the bug has existed.

Thanks!

Working on Mageia 3 and now 4, I cannot remember this appearing in LibreOffice 4.0.x. And BTW, I have been using (but not very frequently) LibreOffice on Win 7, and never had this problem. In fact, I make my documents on Mageia4 now, and print them on a Win 7 PC, which has networked access on my files on the Mageia PC.
The printing goes from Win 7 directly to the printer as both are on my WiFi router. the printer is connected to the Mageia PC on the USB.
