This however, had no effect on okular, duplex functions are ghosted and unavailable. Repeated it twice to make sure, restarting everything including okular. Or maybe I miss-understood and you are removeing the characters 'BR' only. By golly, that does unghost that option in okular. But it doesn't make it work, so I now have 4 copies of an 88 page manual, printed single sided. Frustrated is not an adequate description here, but at least its printable. :( Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
