That is not part of the thrust of my argument, which concentrates on verifiable and repeatable procedures. Please do not credit me with thinking you have nothing more than what we all have - a declining memory. You have repeatably claimed that Ubuntu-10.04.4 LTS just worked. You have also repeatably referred to the greying out of options in print dialogues as indicative of your inabiliity to print in duplex. You have linked these two things detrimentally. Throwing in poppler, a general inability of Wheezy to function properly and a desire to inundate the BTS drew attention away from your essential problem. Putting these two statements together one would think there was no greying out on Ubuntu 10.04.4. In fact, anyone who installs it would find out there is. This part of boltstering your argument does not bear close scrutiny; it has no clothes to cover it. If by "just works" on Ubuntu the *only* thing you meant is that you got duplex printing, then I've never doubted that. Not being able to set it up on Wheezy is something I've ascribed to user incompetence rather than terminological inexactitude. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
