--- Begin Message ---Package: xpdf Version: 3.02-12 To reproduce: xpdf test.pdf (file attached) ask xpdf to print to file test.ps Observe in the generated output: /pdfSetup { 3 1 roll 2 array astore /setpagedevice where { pop 3 dict begin /PageSize exch def /ImagingBBox null def /Policies 1 dict dup begin /PageSize 3 def end def { /Duplex true def } if currentdict end setpagedevice } { pop pop } ifelse } def This overrides my printer's front panel duplex setting of "simplex". There doesn't appear to be a way to get xpdf not to do this. Rationale: I have a printer which is capable of doing duplex. Normally, when not printing "final" versions of things, I load it with "scrap" paper which is blank on only one side, and have the printer set to simplex. Yesterday I printed a single-page pdf and found that the printer printed it on the "wrong" side. This is because (for good reasons which are too complicated to explain here) when a printer whose duplexer has the mechanical arrangement that mine does is told to print a odd-paged document, including a single-page document, duplex, it must still use the duplexer/flipper and flip the page and print the output on the opposite side of the input page to if it is told to print simplex. I don't see any reason for xpdf to override the printer's defaults. Doing so might be understandable if xpdf had a user interface for controlling these settings, but it doesn't. Even if it did, that user interface should have a "printer default" option. Thanks, Ian.
