Hey, good :-) As Brian says, that PPD file should include duplex printing options, if we carefully look inside we can see the available options: *** http://www.openprinting.org/ppd-o-matic.php?driver=pxlcolor&printer=Generic-PCL_6_PCL_XL_Printer&show=1 *OpenUI *Duplex/Double-Sided Printing: PickOne (...) *** > 2.)

When you encounter a problematic PDF file that rejects from printing, try to convert it into PS and print instead the postscript file (you can use GNOME or KDE embedded virtual printer to get a PS file or use "gs" to make the conversion). > So as you suggested, it is probably a cups problem. I have seen that > someone installed the cups of Ubuntu 11.10 for a similiar problem with > another printer...? I would avoid that path. Any problem with Cups package should be reported to Debian BTS so it can be corrected and all of Debian users benefit of it.
