I been having an issue with the ppd file in this version of hplip with cups. I
use the office_pro_l7600 ppd file from this version and it seems to mirror the
second page on duplex printing. Basically one side is backwards text and page
and one side is perfect.

When i mod/change the ppd file downgrade to version 3.9.10 (i do not downgrade
hplip or cups only change the ppd file through cups web interface) The printer
works prints correctly on both sides.

Maybe i am wrong but there may be a fault in the ppd file for the higher
version that portage brought in and updated for me.
Think i was lucky to have had a back version form last year when i installed
the driver.

Of course its not a proper fix seen as the higher version is the problem and
having to downgrade to fix.

I have no idea how these files work as yet so i thought i would let you guys
know see if you can chase down the error. Just sounds like a mistype in the
code/script or something, not sure.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.configure cups manually or by using hp-setup
2.Use the hplip ppd office_pro_l7600 model of ppd file from version 3.10.2
hplip
3.Enable auto duplex printing and print two pages the reverse page prints
backwards.

Actual Results:
Reversed page on auto-duplex prints backwards text and page (mirrored)

Expected Results:
printed normally in the way we all read a document left to right top to bottom

using the cups config web UI and downgrading/changing the ppd file by modifying
the printer and selecting a ppd file from the hplip 3.9.10 version located
inside its folder under ppd hp-cups it works as expected.
