From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040510 Description of problem: evolution in FC2 is defaulting to print in duplex. I can manually change this setting, but the change is not saved and it reverts to using duplex. I wasn't able to find anyplace to change this default setting. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): evolution-1.4.6-2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. print an email from evolution 2. 3. Actual Results: if the printer supports duplex printing it will print on both sides of the paper Expected Results: evolution should default to standard single-side printing Additional info:
turns out this must be a gnome print dialog setting and not evolution specific. I just attempted to print from nautilus and found the same interface and same default setting of duplex. sorry for the confusion ... guess I never print from anything other than evolution :) not sure what to re-classify this under. it's not gnome-print, and I don't see a generic gnome option.
Looking at Evolution's email-printing code, it gets the printer settings by calling gnome_print_dialog_get_config on a GnomePrintDialog; reassigning this bug to libgnomeprintui22
Can you provide some information about your printer?
Throwing this back to evolution, turns out its the apps responsibility to save printer information, see gedit/gedit/gedit-print.c:save_gedit_print_config_to_file() Looks upstream as: http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=46404 May want to resolve this as UPSTREAM, though it would be a large bang-for-the-buck for us (or a Fedora contributor, even :-) to do. Actual fix I think is in gtkhtml not evolution for printing mails, in evolution for printing calendars.
Forgot to reassign.
I'm seeing this same problem running the RHEL4 beta
See also bug #141129 - more problems with printer configuration.
*** Bug 141129 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
There's a fix for this in libgnomeprint CVS.
I'm renaming this bug - as discussed in bug #141129, the print configuration within Evolution seems to be broken. I've added this to one of my tracker bugs.
Fedora Core 2 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC3 updates or in the FC4 test release, reopen and change the version to match.
Unfortunately, I no longer have access to a duplex printer from a linux system so I can not check if this is still valid.
Checked this against several duplex printers in the Westford office using evolution-2.7.4-3 and could not reproduce. From the print dialog, I click the "Configure" button and see that the "Duplex" option is unchecked. So I'm resolving this bug as RAWHIDE.
