They now have an installer so I grabbed it and ran it. the other two driver files and ran the installer. Now to see if okular, evince etc behaves.
No change, both evince and okular show duplex as disabled. I did set it in localhost:631/printers/printer/set defaults. No problem there. It will print a cups test page ok, and the colors look ok in the wheel there. But no other app can detect that it is duplex capable. Its becoming a pisser that will make me install something else in another week if it cannot be solved. Entirely too much of wheezy is busted. I had to install TDE to get a working kmail. I can't print duplex on a printer that by the time I brought spare toners for, dropped my card balance a bit north of $800. Screw it, bug filed against cups-common for lack of a suitable place to point a finger at. Hell it might even be the somewhere below the KT boundary version of libpoppler wheezy uses, somebody did mention it, once as not being capable of duplex processing. I did find a slightly newer one, but not as fresh as what ubuntu-10.04.4 LTS uses, but I have no clue how to link it in to test it since there are 8 varieties/variations of that library installed right now. And I have no clue which cups is using for its pdf to image processor. I'll check the dependencies. cups says poppler-utils>=0.12, and 0.18 is installed. So where does one point the finger at? Clue that didn't make it into the bug reporty: go into the ppd, and edit the characters 'BR' out of all the duplex strings. THEN okular/evince etc CAN see the duplex stuff ok, but when you check it to be used, I still got 88 pages of a nut-ups manual, printed single sided. Some sort of a string missmatch is at the heart of this? DamnedifIknow... If the bugreporter sends me an email for clarification I'll add that little detail. Thanks Ric.
