I have now (finally!) tried that patch and it does work. Thanks very much for working out how to re-enable the option. FYI, I had to modify the printer's PPD to get CUPS to recognise the new option, even though the update mechanism appeared to be triggered: # dpkg -i foo2zjs_20110811dfsg*.deb (Reading database ... 223472 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to replace foo2zjs 20110811dfsg-1 (using foo2zjs_20110811dfsg-1sam1_amd64.deb) ... Unpacking replacement foo2zjs ... Setting up foo2zjs (20110811dfsg-1sam1) ... Processing triggers for man-db ... Processing triggers for cups ... Reloading systemd Starting cups (via systemctl): cups.service. Updating PPD files for foo2zjs ... PPD for printer laser updated Processing triggers for gnome-menus ... Processing triggers for desktop-file-utils ... When I did so I found that there were two entries in the list of PPDs for my printer. Digging into this a little further: $ /usr/lib/cups/driver/foo2zjs list | grep CLP-300 foo2zjs:0/ppd/foo2zjs/Samsung-CLP-300.ppd en Samsung Samsung CLP-300 Foomatic/foo2qpdl (recommended) DRV:Dfoo2qpdl,R1,M0,TF; foo2zjs:1/ppd/foo2zjs/Samsung-CLP-300.ppd en Samsung Samsung CLP-300 Foomatic/foo2qpdl (recommended) MFG:Samsung;MDL:CLP-300; $ diff -u (/usr/lib/cups/driver/foo2zjs cat foo2zjs:0/ppd/foo2zjs/Samsung-CLP-300.ppd) (/usr/lib/cups/driver/foo2zjs cat foo2zjs:1/ppd/foo2zjs/Samsung-CLP-300.ppd); echo $? 0 i.e., both are identical. Note that from the upstream changelog, the Duplex option has been removed from some CLP printers in favour of a tool to simulate it (gnome-manual-duplex): 2010-06-15 * foo2qpdl foomatic-db and PPD files: fix Duplex for clp-6100, clp-610, clp-620. Manual Duplex is no longer supported. Use Gnome-Manual-Duplex instead. Please delete and recreate the Samsung CLP-6?? printers. So it might be possible that your bug is actually a desired evolution from upstream. Ugh, I was afraid of this. Upstream seems to make some... weird decisions. But for now your patch works.

My printer's the Samsung CLP-300 which does not have a duplex unit. So the option just pauses printing until I put the paper back in and press the printer's Stop button. In the latter case the manual duplex function in the driver was replaced by a GUI tool (gnome-manual-duplex) which helps the user to get through the steps and to turn over the printer pages correctly. gnome-manual-duplex is not packaged yet. It needs to be investigated how well it works, whether it supports only local printing or also printing through the network, does not have any security issues, ... and if all is OK it should be packaged. Re-introducing manual duplex by a patch to the PPD file perhaps will not work as the code for manual duplex can be removed from the driver. For now the code has not been removed, but I'm going to check out gnome-manual-duplex in case it is removed some day. -- Sam Morris https://robots.org.uk/ 3412 EA18 1277 354B 991B C869 B219 7FDB 5EA0 1078 signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Bug#627542: foo2zjs: Duplex printing option gone
Sam, does your printer have a duplex unit? Or was the duplex option in the PPD files only for activating a manual duplex function? In the latter case the manual duplex function in the driver was replaced by a GUI tool (gnome-manual-duplex) which helps the user to get through the steps and to turn over the printer pages correctly. gnome-manual-duplex is not packaged yet. It needs to be investigated how well it works, whether it supports only local printing or also printing through the network, does not have any security issues, ... and if all is OK it should be packaged.
