printer prints mirrored pages

[Rüdiger Kupper]

After update to Ubuntu 23.04 (Lunar), my HP Color Laserjet CP1515n prints all pages mirrored.
the problem gets even stranger when I select the "print mirrored" option in the printing dialog: Then, the first, third, fifth … pages get printed correctly, but the second, fourth, sixth … pages are *still* mirrored.

The problem appeared in Lunar (hplip 3.22.10+dfsg0-1) and was not present in Kinetic (hplip 3.22.6+dfsg0-1).

More information:

- CUPS driver: "HP Color LaserJet CP1510 Series"
- attaching PPD file /etc/cups/ppd/Farblaser.ppd

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Still present in mantic, exactly as described in the bug report with every 2nd page being mirrored etc.

[Boris Erdmann (boris-erdmann)]

For me it's "HP Color LaserJet CP4520 Series". So, it affects at least multiple printer types.
