See bug #1068896, in particular bug #1068896 comment #5: ==> Poppler duplex issue: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72312 GS duplex issue: http://git.ghostscript.com/?p=ghostpdl.git;a=commit;h=5ddd13eda3853d53315b7ba656ccd32ad9814c34 I think my version of ghostscript does not have the duplex fix $ rpm -qi ghostscript Name : ghostscript Version : 9.10 Release : 5.fc20 <== The ghostscript duplex fix has been verified, using the pdftops-renderer=gs job option. When this option is not present for a submitted job, the poppler renderer will be used for some makes of printer including Brother.
Hi Tim, which PPD, command and pdf file I need to use to see the bug? I tried some combinations but I was not successful much. Marek
This PPD file: bug #1068896 comment #1. Make a 2-page PDF file. To test it, run the filters by hand: /usr/lib/cups/filter/pdftopdf 1 me '' 1 'sides=two-sided-long-edge' 2pages.pdf > out.pdf /usr/lib/cups/filter/pdftops 1 me '' 1 'sides=two-sided-long-edge' out.pdf > out.ps Then 'grep pdfSetupPaper out.ps' should only give one line of output, not two.
Hi, We're seeing this bug in RHEL7, users are complaining. I tried the test in comment #2 and got two lines of output. -trond
I'm confused - freedesktop bug 72312 is the fix or the cause of this issue?
Looks like it ought to be the fix?
The grep test is insufficient to check for the fix, since the fix is in the pdfSetupPaper routine. The fixed output should have: /pdfSetupPaper { % Change paper size, but only if different from previous paper size otherwise % duplex fails. PLRM specifies a tolerance of 5 pts when matching paper size % so we use the same when checking if the size changes. Which I see on F21 with poppler-0.26.2-9.fc21.x86_64 but not in F20 with poppler-0.24.3-6.fc20.x86_64.
Hi, I had some problems with reproducing this bug but now it should be fixed. I've pushed these 2 commits to F20: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/poppler/poppler/commit/?id=fe49033c9bd2103c13d4eb59983e06fdcdd33a8d http://cgit.freedesktop.org/poppler/poppler/commit/?id=b1da7e20dcef78ef6036418b37a47ba3f8818453 These fix the duplex printing for me on HP Color LaserJet CP3225x (Postscript driver). F21 should have this already fixed. Regards Marek

This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '20'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
poppler-0.24.3-7.fc20 has been pushed to the Fedora 20 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
