Re: Brother HL-5250DN duplex printing: loves me, loves me not, ...
| From: D. Hugh Redelmeier h...@mimosa.com | See http://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/hugh/poppler-fix-f20/ | | I'd love feedback. Thanks for the feedback. We've noticed that we can no longer print envelopes. I wonder why. The printer no longer stops with a blinking light, awaiting a blank envelope to be inserted in the second feed. When you do put one there, it doesn't print on it. I need to check if it is printing somewhere off the envelope. More investigation is required. I'm not sure when I can get to this. Does anyone else notice this problem? Is it a change for you? -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

Thanks, Hugh. I enabled the repo, as per your (untested) suggestion, did the yum update, and voila, I got duplex printing. This was success with only one document, and if the update is going to break other things, it hasn't had time to do that. But things look very good so far. Thanks again. -- Mike On Wed, Jul 2, 2014 at 12:11 AM, D. Hugh Redelmeier h...@mimosa.com wrote: | From: D.

I verified that this issue is fixed by the poppler-fix-f20, at least on one hp laser printer. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

| From: Michael Hannon jmhannon.ucda...@gmail.com | Date: Mon, 19 May 2014 21:57:20 -0700 This thread is over a month old. I found it when thrashing around to solve my own problem: failure of duplex printing with Fedora 20 on a Brother HL-5150D (connected via USB). Please look at this bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1035090 There is a work-around that works for me (see comment 9): sudo lpadmin -p PrinterName -o pdftops-renderer-default=gs The real problem is a bug ip pdftops.

One more data point, though its usefulness to the OP is suspect: If your printer has been set up the old-fashioned manual way, I suppose it might be helpful to try the installer tool to see if anything improves.
