[Bug 897723] [NEW] Setting duplex in the print dialog has no effect for some print drivers

 

Public bug reported:

This happens for PostScript printers that specify a custom duplex
option, i.e. not using the standard CUPS option "two-sided".

A workaround is to always enable duplex in system-config-printer, or to
add the printer as "Generic PostScript Foomatic" instead of using its
native PPD.

I want to investigate this a bit further before reporting an upstream
bug (thus assigning myself for now).

** Affects: gtk+3.0 (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
