Are you using the 'cdj' queue, or the 'mdj' queue? The mdj queue seems to have duplex set, but the cdj one doesn't. Sorry to take so long to get back. Been dealing with other problems.
O.K. This gets curiouser and curiouser.
1. mdj is my default que. When I checked out the printing situation yesterday
in order to respond to your message, yes, in fact mdj was set (in the printer
edit dialog box) to "two side--flip". I changed it, did an apply, and tested
a one page printout. Seemed to work OK. Blew my mind, since I thought I'd
checked carefully before submitting the bug report. Started to write a reply,
but my net connection went down. Had to give up for the day.
That was running under LPRng printing system.
2. This I tried printing a single page, and didn't get a second blank. Then
tried printing two pages, and it did flip the second page. Still on LPRng.
3. Closed the printer edit application, used the redhat-switch-printer to change
to CUPS.
4. Verified that the printer configuration hadn't changed. Tried printing both
long and short pages on mdj.
-- Single line of text results in 2 pages being printed, second one blank.
-- Two pages being printed, second one is flipped.
5. (CUPS takes an incredibly long time to start printing, by the way).
Switched back to LPRng. Reverified that the printerconf file hadn't changed.
NOW, under LPRng,
-- mdj prints blank page following single page output.
-- mdj flips second page on two page output.
6. Noted that this printing was being done from within gvim, using the ha
command.
7. Converted test text file to postscript using enscript. Printing
works OK (i.e., no extra pages, no flipping) from gv. Both default and
lpr -P cdj commands.
8. Tried gvim again. still printing duplex-flip style.
9. converted test file to pdf. Acroread prints it OK.
10. Tried printing text file from Galeon. Works ok.
-- So, it appears the the problem (currently) lies somehow with gvim.
I guess it isn't necessary to say I didn't have this problem before 'upgrading'
to RH 9, but I'll say it anyway.

Looks like the problem is in the default options of vim (gvim) -- at least it looks that way at the moment. I explicitly set the printoptions of gvim for duplex:off, and now printing from gvim works properly. Apparently something changed in the default setting of the vim versions distributed with 7.2 and 9 -- or else the new printer driver allowed them to work differently, or else? Well, it looks like my printing problem is taken care of. Thanks. John V. Changing component to vim and reassigning. Thanks for investigating it. fixed in current versions |
Description of problem: Editing the printer driver settings, and selecting double sided printing options -- no matter which option is checked, the printer prints as though "short edge (flipped)" were checked. Print driver is hpijs for HP 940c Unable to achieve single sided printing. Every other page is flipped, and always prints a blank page at the end for any document having an odd number of pages. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): New boxed set of RH 9. Unfortunately, the application does not have an 'about' selection that gives the version and release number. How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Edit driver properties 2. In properties, for Double-sided printing, select "Off" 3. Save, apply 4. Print document with odd number of pages Actual results: Even numbered pages are printed upside down. Extra blank page is printed at the end: I.e., when document has 1 page, two pages come out of printer; when document has 3 pages, 4 pages come out of the printer,... Expected results: All pages printed right side up. 1 page printed with no extras when document has one page. and so on. Additional info:
