Comment 25 for bug 173857

Hi Jason,

I've made two additional test with these commands:

echo -e 'Hello\nlp -d litfass -o page-border=single -o
Duplex=DuplexNoTumble -o media=A4.Duplex\fWorld' | lp -d
litfass -o page-border=single -o Duplex=DuplexNoTumble -o
media=A4.Duplex

echo -e 'Hello\nlp -d litfass-duplex -o page-border=single -o
Duplex=DuplexNoTumble -o media=A4.Duplex\fWorld' | lp -d
litfass-duplex -o page-border=single -o Duplex=DuplexNoTumble
-o media=A4.Duplex

Both create a double sided print out with mentionable
differences. I've scanned both outputs and will upload them to
launchpad. Filenames are given below:

First command produces two pages, first cropped at the bottom,
rear side with a full frame (see file
launchpad-173857-20091121-001.pdf).

Second command produces two pages, front-side with full frame
but with "large" empty space at top and bottom, rear-side with
"smaller" frame but shifted towards bottom of page and
cropped (see file launchpad-173857-20091121-002.pdf).

Here is diff output of

 diff /etc/cups/ppd/litfass.ppd /etc/cups/ppd/litfass-duplex.ppd

339c339
< *DefaultDuplex: None
---
> *DefaultDuplex: DuplexNoTumble

And, as mentioned earlier, CUPS web front-end shows duplexer
marked as installed.
