Bug Description
Binary package hint: cups
this is unbuntu 10.04 beta2, with cups 1.4.3.1, using system-
1.2.0
The printer is a Dell 2130cn laser printer wtih a duplexor. This is accessed
via the network. It works correctly when used with fedora core12 using
cups 1.4.2, and from Windows/XP systems.
When setting "Printer Properties", selecting "Job Options", setting "Sides:" to
Two-sided (long edge).
When clicking "Apply", the Sides: reverts to "One-sided".
As a result, applications are not offered the option of using the duplexor.
----------------
Initially This printer was configured using " Network Printer", and
'Find Network Printer'.
"Dell 2130cn Color Laser (IP address)" was found, and IP address was shown in
Host: area along with Port number: 9100
Originally, under drivers, 'Generic"' was selected along with "Generic PCL 6/PCL
XL Printer Foomatic/pxlcolor [en]".
This encountered the above problem.
Then I copied the .ppd file from the fedora core12 system that worked, and then selected "provide ppd file" and used the .ppd file from fedora core12.
This didn't make any difference, I still can't enable the duplexor.
