After update to cups-filters-1.0.53-2.fc20 the duplex printing on my HP 2300dtn is broken. Downgrade to cups-filters-1.0.53-1.fc20 resolves the problem.

What does 'lpinfo -l -v' say?

The only difference between cups-filters-1.0.53-1 and 1.0.53-2 is the "work-around" patch for bug #768811. http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/cups-filters.git/tree/cups-filters-pdf-landscape.patch?h=f20 Correct solution for bug #768811 however is to fix bug #1099428 (poppler) and remove this patch.
Same problem with HPLJ 4250
I've tried packages: cups-filters-1.0.53-5.fc20.x86_64 cups-filters-libs-1.0.53-5.fc20.x86_64 Problem still exist. I've to downgrade to last working version 1.0.53-1.fc20.x86_64
HP Laserjet 4250 dtn has the same duplex problem here (fully patched system). Funny thing is, HP LaserJet M5035 MFP works perfectly fine. Seems to depend on model. Duplexer is recognized for both devices (in fact, settings haven't changed). But since one of the recent CUPS updates, the 4250 is no longer printing duplex. However, I haven't verified which specific CUPS update it was because I'm printing quite infrequently these days. Save the trees. Any additional help needed to make duplex printing work again?
Is there any (even ugly) workaround for printing duplex without downgrading the cups-filters and cups-filters-libs packages? Maybe by using a different driver? (The bug doesn't seem to affect all printers.) Or some direct patching of /usr/lib/cups/filter/pdftops? "yum upgrade" offers pretty old version 1.0.41-4 with security issues. And last working version 1.0.53-1 has been replaced everywhere with newer versions already (1.0.53-5).
(In reply to Andreas M. Kirchwitz from comment #11) > Is there any (even ugly) workaround ... ? You can try to set pdftops renderer to Ghostscript: lpadmin -p <printer> -o pdftops-renderer-default=gs you can then revert the change with: lpadmin -p <printer> -R pdftops-renderer-default
Jiri, thanks a lot, that works great and allows for proper duplex printing! You saved the trees. :-)
Same problem here with a HP LaserJet 4350dtn, the workaround of comment #12 works for me too.
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 It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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.
Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
