This bug is *not* fixed. This still happens with Jaunty and with the current Karmic version (2.27.3 at present).

Steps to reproduce:

(1) Print two copies of a 3-page document from evince, collated, with duplex on.

Expected results: you get four sheets of paper from your pinter, like so:

    First piece of paper: 1-2
    Second piece of paper: 3-BLANK
    Third piece of paper: 1-2
    Fourth piece of paper: 3-BANK

Actual results: you get three sheets of paper from your printer, each printed on both sides, like so:

    First piece of paper: 1-2
    Second piece of paper: 3-1
    Third piece of paper: 2-3

The attribution to gnome-bugs #365332 seems to be incorrect. That gnome bug is do with the confusion over what "collate" means. The relevant gnome bug seems to be #455759, "Two copies and duplex printing don't work well together".
