Do either of the answers here: http://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/20818/libreoffice-41-printer-settings-dont-stay-selected/?answer=20820#post-id-20820 fix the problem? Might be worthwhile installing the latest LibreOffice (version 4.3.1) to see if it's fixed in that.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Need advice (Devs?) Urgent - HP printer duplex not fully op with Libre Office
LibreOffice has its own print drivers so the problem will almost certainly be there so have a good look at the printer configuration within LibreOffice. You could also try community support on the LibreOffice website to see if there are any workarounds or if anyone is prepared to pick up the driver for a fix. They also seem to have a support Twitter account @AskLibreOffice. s/ On 3 September 2014 23:23, alan c wrote: > Please point me in a useful direction here > New HP printer does not print Duplex from Libre Office, as it should, > or should I say, Libre Office does not work duplex.

[ubuntu-uk] Need advice (Devs?) Urgent - HP printer duplex not fully op with Libre Office
Please point me in a useful direction here New HP printer does not print Duplex from Libre Office, as it should, or should I say, Libre Office does not work duplex. The printer works ok duplex on test page, and with Thunderbird emails for example. It seems to be Libre Office which screws the print config up. Using Ubuntu 12.04 updated. Details: https://answers.launchpad.net/hplip/+question/252277 ( comment #18 pp candtalan) As can be seen from my comment #18 an organisation has asked me to recommend a new printer for them. ASAP. Its nice to be famous... They certainly should be using Libre Office, and hopefully, Ubuntu also (?) Am I to recommend my favourite printer manufacturer HP and favourite App Libre Office, *knowing* that their essential need for duplex printing has a bug and will *not* work?? HELP! What is best for me to do? Anyone have HP imaging contacts and or Libre Office? Or am I wrong in thinking that Ubuntu itself is ok? I cannot fix this, I need to get a dev to take interest in it and put in the (probable) missing colon into the code!!!
