Eduard Bürki posted a new comment: Maybe you are interested in some background information: How did I run into this problem? Here is the answer: I have an HP ink printer that I use with HPLIP. I would just like to print on both sides. The back side and the front side of the paper. This safes money, place and is more environment friendly. My printer supports automatic page rotation. HPLIP also supports this basically. However, HPLIP unfortunately does not pause before pulling back and turning the page. This causes the ink to smear. Since nobody in the HPLIP forum was able to help me, I looked for a workaround. This workaround would theoretically work in the following way: I use the one-sided print mode. In the first run the even (or odd) pages should be printed. Then I remove the sheets manually and put them back into the printer again. Then I do the second print run. This time I want to print the odd (or even) pages. Concretely it should always work according to these rules: 1st print run "reverse" 2nd print run "normal To find out, whether the even pages or the odd ones need to be printed in the first print run, simply add one to the first page that should be printed. Example: You want to print pages 4-8: You add one to 4. This is 5. As 5 is odd, you have to print the odd pages in the first print run. When I wanted to test it in reality, I came across the problem described in Post #1. So it's a pity: Also the workaround seems to be full of problems and surprises. :-( -- You received this question notification because your team qpdfview is an answer contact for qpdfview. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~qpdfview Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~qpdfview More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
