Bug Description
I am using the HP Color LaserJet 3600 with HPLIP 2.8.6 on Ubuntu Intrepid. Problem is that the duplex orientation is not respected. Independent if I choose long-edge or short-edge, I get always the duplex orientation for long-edge-bound (portrait) documents.
The problem is not caused by broken PostScript input nor by a bug in foomatic-rip, as the Ghostscript command line is reported as follows in error_log (CUPS in debug mode):
gs -sstdout=%stderr -dBATCH -dPARANOIDSAFER -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=ijs -sIjsServer=hpijs -sDeviceManufac
It contains the "-dTumble=true" which tells the driver to use short-edge orientation.
I have tested only with the HP Color LaserJet 3600 (PPD of the proprietary plug-in). Please test also with other printer device classes.
