cups ignores gnome printer dialog setting
Last modified: 2008-06-20 04:07:03 EDT
Description of problem: it would seem that no matter what duplex options (simplex, long-edge duplex, short edge dumplex) I set in the gnome print dialog, my Lexmark C530DN will always print with the settings I configured in the printer (it has a web interface for this) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): cups-1.3.7-2.fc9.i386 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set up printer in cups with PPD extracted from Windows driver as described at http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Lexmark-C530DN 2. configure one kind of duplex in the printer's web interface (http://printeraddress/cgi-bin/dynamic/config/gen/menu_finish.html) 3. print with an app that uses the gnome printer dialog (tested evince and firefox), setting different duplex settings Actual results: printer's settings take precedence Expected results: gnome print dialog settings take precedence Additional info: I came across this while trying to print a psbook and tearing out my hair over the printer always doing long-edge binding
forgot to add, the printer is set up as network printer with an IPP connection (just in case that matters)
ah, NOTABUG, I just found out that if I take the PPD file from the Mac driver instead of the one from the Windows driver I get the results I wanted. (for those reading this, you will have to clean up the PPD as described at http://forums.linux-foundation.org/read.php?29,5124 Sorry for the false alarm.
Glad you got it working. :-)
