[Bug 264949] [NEW] KDE3/hardy printing: duplex not supported

[Risto H. Kurppa]

Public bug reported:

KDE 3.5.10 on Hardy, network printer HP LaserJet 2015 series

The printer has duplex support.

KPDF fails to print duplex. If I enable (from the KDE printer settings dialog when starting to print) the duplex printing mode, it gives a popup:
"Some options selected are in conflict. You must resolve these conflicts before continuing. See Driver Settings tab for detailed information"
and when I go to Driver Settings tab the duplex support is disabled. OK, so I understand that it doesn't work if this conflicts.

The actual problem is that I cannot switch the duplex support on in KDE
system settings -> printer -> instance -> settings -> driver settings ->
duplex unit, because the option to choose 'duplex unit' is disabled, in
the administrator mode, too.


Adobe reader prints duplex fine with line 
lpr -P kahvihuone -o InputSlot=Tray2 -o Resolution=600x1200dpi -o PageSize=A4 -o Duplex=DuplexNoTumble


And I know this is KDE3-stuff and might not be interesting due to Okular & KDE4 and so on, just thought to let you know..
