printing with multiple pages per side silently fails

[David Hugh-Jones]

Binary package hint: evince

Printing to a HP Laserjet 4350, with settings "2 pages per side" and "2 sided short edge", silently fails. No errors are in /var/cups/error_log but nothing comes out of the printer.

With "2 pages per side" and "1 sided only", printing to the printer succeeds.
With "2 pages per side" and "2 sided short edge", printing to a file succeeds.
Using "xpdf" and "lpr -o two-sided-long-edge -o number-up=2" also succeeds.

A copy of the error log with LogLevel=Debug is attached; the relevant job is number 577 and starts at time 10.21:32.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. A new version of Evince is available in both Lucid and Maverick and we are wondering if this is still reproducible in any of those versions, May you please test and give us of feedback about it? Thanks in advance.

With current evince in Lucid, this bug no longer exists - printing works fine.
