Package: printer-driver-oki
Version: 1.0.1-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

the "Duplex" option of the printer driver seems to be ignored with my OKI 
B401dn printer, e.g. when printing from Libreoffice or Evince.

Apparently, the option *is* passed to the driver script 
/usr/lib/cups/filter/rastertookimonochrome.  For testing, I added the line

        exec > /tmp/OKI_OUT 2> /tmp/OKI_ERR

at the very beginning, which dumps the following into /tmp/OKI_ERR:

<snip>
INFO: options = [Duplex=DuplexNoTumble InputSlot=Upper PageSize=A4 
job-uuid=urn:uuid:2d08834f-7e7e-37b8-5192-9f4efb9ee1f8

</snip>

On an other (Ubuntu) box, I have a /very/ old Oki PPD (ok400pcl.ppd, Version 
1.3, Date 10/15/2008; I don't recall from where I got it) which *does* support 
Duplex in combination with the (different) rastertookimonochrome script for the 
aforementioned documents.  However, the printout margins are wrong there, so I 
would prefer to use the official Debian package.

Any idea how I could fix the issue?

Thanks in advance,
Albrecht.
