Package: evince
Version: 0.4.0-1+b1
Severity: normal

I have my CUPS printer configured to print in duplex by default, using both
sides of the sheet of paper in order to save trees and space.

Every so often I need to print single-sided, so I want to uncheck the
printer configuration box which sets duplex printing. In evince however,
this choice of single-sided printing is not working.

In the Print dialog at the Printer tab, I click on "Configure".  There I see
the "Duplex" checkbox.  Strangely it is already unchecked, even though the
printer is configured in CUPS to have duplex already switched on.  I click
on the box, implying I have just switched duplex on, then I click it again,
off.  So the configuration is telling my I've selected single-sided
printing.  However the page still comes out double-sided.

In fact the result is the same with any of the permutations: 
- do nothing (don't touch configure at all): prints double-sided (this is ok,
it's what I want for default behaviour)
- do nothing (go into configure but then press "close" straight away):
prints double-sided.  This is bad since configure says it's duplex is "off"
- click duplex "on": double sided.
- click duplex "on" and then "off" in the same configure instance: 
double-sided.  Really bad since here I explicitly selected single-sided.
- click duplex "on", close configure, enter configure again and then click
duplex "off":  double-sided.  Also really bad since I explicitly selected
single-sided. 

In each and every case the job comes out double-sided even when I select
duplex "off".  The fact that duplex is not marked "on" to begin with,
reflecting the default configuration is also a worry.

It looks as if the Print dialog box is not successfully communicating with
the CUPS printer to collect and provide all its settings.

Thanks,

Drew
