As I stated in my report, my HP 8600 Printer has a duplexer unit. Requests for double-sided printing (from Ubuntu) worked properly until a recent Ubuntu upgrade.
The duplexer works properly in local manual mode, just as it did before. The problem I'm reporting is that it appears that something in Ubuntu has changed that now causes the double-sided option to be disregarded. Print jobs run normally, but disregard requests for two-sided printing; pages print sindge-sided only. The print interface menu display has been changed (and not necessarily for the better). The GUI display shows double-sided printing to be enabled with long-edge option, as its predecessor did before, but double-sided printing never occurs, though I have requested numerous such jobs. At the time I write this, there are only two lines in the cups error log, each one stating: Unknown directive BrowseAddress on line 26 of /etc/cups/cups.conf less reports that there is no such file as /etc/cups/cups.conf (and, yes, I used sudo) Wilbur Killebrew On 11/10/2014 01:07 PM, Pascal De Vuyst wrote: > Does your printer have a duplex unit or are you using some kind of > manual duplex mode (print the odd pages, then the paper gets put back > into the input tray and the even pages get printed)? > > Can your follow the instructions of the sections "CUPS error_log", > "Capturing print job data", and "Getting the data which would go to the > printer" on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems.
