Public bug reported:
Dell E310dw printer which worked well on 19.04 has problems in 19.10:
First, I went through the CUPS web interface to add the printer. The
interface gave me a choice of two entries with the same name plus one
with "driverless" added. I chose the first entry (not driverless) and
completed adding the printer. On the Printers page, the Dell was now
listed. When I tried "Print Test Page", I got many pages each containing
a single line of symbols.
I deleted the printer in the web interface, intending to start again and choose
the second option. But after I did Delete Printer, CUPS took me back to the
Printers page which now listed:
Dell_Printer_E310dw@DELL316BAA.local Dell Printer E310dw,
driverless, cups-filters 1.25.11
So I clicked on that printer and tried Print Test Page, which worked. So
then I tried a duplex print (which is really what I need this morning):
lp -o sides=two-sided-long-edge -o collate=true -d
Dell_Printer_E310dw@DELL316BAA.local filename.pdf
It printed the PDF 2-sided, but with the sides flipped around the short
edge, as if it was a landscape print. I tried the same command with
sides=two-sided-short-edge and it flipped the same way. So sides is
handling duplex but ignoring which edge is supposed to be used, and
defaulting to landscape which I'd guess is less commonly what people
want.
This is all using what's built into Ubuntu. I haven't yet downloaded any
extra drivers from Dell's site since Ubuntu claims to have a driver for
the printer, and I'm pretty sure it was working in 19.04 (I may still
have a working 19.04 to check that, if it would help).
