Comment 11 for bug 1776173

I would be willing to have a look and try to backport the patch I provided. However, at first I would like to have an explanation from the ubuntu maintainers why the few-lines-patch I provided, which enables easy duplex printing for many people (and so safe a lot of paper), has not been included.

Otherwise, I can only recommend to use a different distribution. There probably are some where maintainers can imagine that some users actually use their LTS distribution in a productive environment that want to print (duplex)...

(Btw, I fully agree that a patch that would resolve more of the issues would be very nice. However such patch would require huge changes in the code which certainly will never be accepted...Let us better at least hope to fix the most annoying issue.)
