Using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS - the Lucid Lynx, and (apt-cache policy cups) Installed: 1.4.3-1ubuntu1.5. Steps to reproduce problem: 1. While displaying the file AmendmentRequest.pdf (using Evince Document Viewer 2.30.3) I choose File->Printing. 2. I choose the HP LaserJet P1005 printer, and in Page Setup I choose Two-sided=Long Edge (standard), Paper size=A4, then I press print. 3. I expect to see pages 1 and 3 come out from the printer, then I expect the printer to halt (red flashing light). I would normally take the the output and put it back in the tray, then lift the lid and put it back down. I expect the printer to print a blank page (on the back of p3), and then p2 (on the back of p1), then return to idle. Then I can remove the output. 4. But what happens instead is that I get three pages as follows: page 1 in the file prints first, then page 3 in the file prints next, then a blank page prints. The printer never halts, and page 2 never appears. 5. The same thing happened to a 3-page Open-office writer (odt) document, on a different userid on the same system. 6. All is OK if I choose single-side printing. Or if I only print a single page. I have then done some diagnostics. In system-config-printer 1.2.0 ... I switched on "save debugging information for troubleshooting", and then put the printer on hold (untick "enabled"), then printed the PDF file again. I then copied the file from /var/spool/cups and renamed it as printout.pdf, and also copied the /var/log/cups/error_log file. As a separate exercise, I also invoked the Help->Troubleshoot from system-config-printer, and printed the same file again. The file it produced is called troubleshoot.txt. I then combined all files into one .tar.gz patch and uploaded it as an attachment. It contains * AmendmentRequest.pdf - the original file that I'm printing * error_log - from /var/log/cups * printout.pdf - the renamed file from /var/spool/cups * troubleshoot.txt - file from system-config-printer's troubleshooting procedure.
