Specifically, every time one starts to print the "duplex" option gets reset to "none" even for those printers that were configured for "long edge" duplex by default. This may lead to a huge *waste of paper*: people print, expecting the duplex, do not get it, throw away the printout and reprint, for a total of 3 times the paper usage if the print dialog respected the default. [Test Case] 1) Install a printer that can duplex and configure it to do duplex with long-edge binding from the printer setup dialog. 2) Open a PDF with okular, and open the print dialog. Select the printer above. 3) Press the "Options" button to enlarge the dialog to also present the options. Select the "options" tab, right of "copies". Verify that Duplex Printing is preset to "None" This is wrong, because the printer was configured to do duplex with long-edge binding. 4) Print and close okular. 5) Reopen okular (with the same or another PDF file). Open again the print dialog and select the same printer. 6) Redo 3). Again see that Duplex Printing is preset to "None", instead of being at the default or at the previously used setup. [Regression Potential] The proposed patch only changes the default settings. The regression potential may be that the values are wrong, although they are already wrong. In case there is some bug it may lead to crashes. But this code is in the latest stable Qt release and I am not aware of any such crashes reported. [Other Info] The proposed patch is a backport of the following upstream commits: - https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtbase.git/commit/?id=f6fd3f18d301cde3 - https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtbase.git/commit/?id=fa854f214a3c812e [Original Description] See also https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=395150 As a final comment and in general, I think that Bionic should be updated to use the QT 5.11 print subsystem (from 5.9.5) as soon as possible (at least via a kubuntu ppa). The QT 5 print dialog has always been extremely poor, with no possibility to provide information about things like print quality and resolution, paper type, stapling (for printers supporting it), etc. Now, QT 5.11 has finally a better print dialog and it would be great if the bionic users could use it.
