gnome-cups-manager does not change duplex option in cups

[svasie]

Binary package hint: gnome-cups-manager

I've added an Infotec IS2225 multifunction network printer (PPD file downloaded from linuxprinting.org) via gnome-cups-manager. The printer has a duplex unit and after setting up the printer I have enabled that parameter in gnome-cups-manager (Duplex unit > Installed ; Double sided printing > Long Edge). These settings get saved correctly and printing works correctly in apps like OpenOffice or Adobe Reader.

The problem comes when I try to print double sided from Evince. Evince does not show the duplex option so i cannot print doubled sided.

If I change the printer configuration manually from cups web interface, Evince show duplex options and I can print double sided correctly.

It seems that gnome-cups-manager does not change duplex option in cups.

Reproduced on Feisty installation with an HP Laserjet 4250dtn.
I created several printers and reinstalled the HP-LIPS. Inside the Gnome printer administration the duplex option was selected, but in evince only single-sided-printing was selectable. After changing the printer through the cups web interface I could select double-sided printing.

I can reproduce this as well in fully updated feisty. After adding a printer, evince does not allow to select duplex. After changing "duplex installed" in the gnome printer manager it still doesn't work. After changing it in the CUPS web interface, it does work.

gnome-cups-manager is no longer maintained upstream and will be replaced in gutsy.

With what will it be replaced?

printerdrake is a candidate, but we need someone who replaces its dialogs by distribution-indepndent GTK dialogs. See

We have changed the default print management system in Ubuntu from gnome-cups-manager to system-config-printer. Please open a new bug against system-config-printer if you still have this problem with Gutsy or Hardy. Thanks!
