manual duplex printing missing

[Carsten Petersen]

Binary package hint: hplip

I have problem with 'manual duplex' printing on my HP CP1514n in Ubuntu.
In 10.04 I select the double sided print option (print long edge). Print is now simplex printing, which is wrong.
In 10.10beta there is a new option checkbox : Duplexer installed. Because I don't have a duplexer attached to my printer, I deselect this option. But then I cannot select double sided printing any more.
What to do?
I want first to print the even pages, then I want to place the printed stack (even pages) in the printer tray.
When I at last acknowledge with the OK printer button, the printer shall print the odd pages in the correct order on the opposite side of the even pages.
This works perfectly in Windows. Ubuntu (Linux) must have the same functionality!
I believe a lot of people have the same problem!

Use Gnome Manual Duplex - https://sourceforge.net/projects/g-manual-duplex/

Can you please run "hp-check -t" and post the output?

Thanks and Regards

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

I am having the same problem, and I hope I am not breaking some code of etiquette here, but as the original poster hasn't yet responded to Yash's request since 2010, I've run the command myself and post the results here.

Note: hp-check can be run in three modes:
1. Compile-time check mode (-c or --compile): Use this mode before compiling the
HPLIP supplied tarball (.tar.gz or .run) to determine if the proper dependencies
are installed to successfully compile HPLIP.
2. Run-time check mode (-r or --run): Use this mode to determine if a distro
supplied package (.deb, .rpm, etc) or an already built HPLIP supplied tarball
has the proper dependencies installed to successfully run.
3. Both compile- and run-time check mode (-b or --both) (Default): This mode
will check both of the above cases (both compile- and run-time dependencies).

(I should also add that I'm using Ubuntu 12.04, not 10.10 as the previous poster was using...)

Hello Ann and Carsten,
Thank you for reporting this bug and describing a problem with system-config-printer. You made this bug report in 2010 and Ubuntu has been updated since then.

Could you confirm that this is no longer a problem and that we can close the bug report?
If it is still a problem, are you still interested in finding a solution to this bug?
If you are, could you let us know, and in the current version, run the following (only once):
apport-collect BUGNUMBER
and upload the updated logs and and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.

Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu better.

I've actually gotten rid of both that printer and that laptop since then so
I'm afraid I can't help! Sorry!
