------- Additional comments from sanz...@openoffice.org Mon Aug 16 04:13:31 +0000 2010 ------- I do agree that the suggested workaround will get me what I need. But it is still a bug. I have verified it to exhibit this behavior with the following two Xerox print drivers: Xerox WorkCentre 5638 PS Xeros WorkCentre 5665 PS As for a test case, I have created two test cases that both exhibit the problems: 1) A brand new Writer doc (odt) that is completely blank (1 page) -- send that to the printer and ask for two stapled copies - gives me two blank sheets of paper stapled together. Send that to the printer and ask for 2 duplex copies and get one sheet of paper. Okay - this is a silly test case and I am not sure what I expected the printer to do in this test case. As an interesting note, however, that "other" office wordprocessing program prints two blank sheets not stapled for both tests in this test case. I'm not saying that is correct - just giving a point of reference. 2) A brand new Writer doc (odt) that is completely blank but has page numbers in the footer and has 2 or more pages. Actually page numbers in the footer are not necessary to re-create the problem, but text on multiple pages is required to see the problem (printing blank pages does not add much value). Page numbers in footers is an easy way to get different text on each page but not the only way. I accomplish this by inserting manual page breaks and a footer with page numbers. Odd number of pages works best at demonstrating the problem. Send to the printer and ask for 2 stapled copies and I get both copies stapled together with one staple. (I get this problem with either even or odd number of pages). If I send to the printer and ask for 2 copies duplex, I get what I asked for if the number of pages is even. If the number of pages is odd, then I get page 1 of the 2nd copy printed on the back of the last page of the first copy. Clearly this is not correct. I can upload a test case if it will really help, but IMHO there is nothing special about my test case. I have tried multiple files and they all exhibit the same behavior. I can reproduce the behavior even with a simple test case as described above. It seems to be a symptom of the print settings and not tied to the specific document. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
