Have installed 32 bit LM Maya on an eeepc.
Confirmed the same issue there.
Step By Step: BUG
1 32Bit Mint Maya\Cinnamon and MATE (pinguyOS 12.04)
2 Installed Printer (Network Ricoh MPC4500 on ip 196.etc) and tested. Test
print Fine. Used openprinting provided ppd for the Ricoh PXL.
3 Opened Librewriter /gedit/pluma in my case.
4 Create or open standard text min 2 pages.
5 Menu | Print
6. changed number of Copies to 3 and three copies print out single sided. (6
pages in all) (Good)
7. Menu | Print
8. 3 Copies. Choose button "Properties" (libre office) or choose tab "page
setup" (gedit/evice) select Duplex longside/shortside whatever. Prints out 6
single side pages.
9. Menu | Print
10. Choose anything on the properties tab/button no effect. 100% time
WORKAROUND
11. in Gnome installed application system-config-printer. Called directly via
synapse
in MATE control centre | Printing = same thing
12. Select Ricoh | properties
13. Choose desired options, duplex, paper tray and destination, Colour/Grey, Jo
type (Normal, Locked, Document Server = stored on Photocopier)
14. return to Application Menu|Print (number of copies) Success.
15. the printer settings remain through reboot until they are changed again by
system-config-printer.
This is 100% every time. Fresh install of PenguyOS which is Ubuntu12.04.
I confirm BUG and workaround with new install of Mint-Maya-MATE
Bug existed in previous installs of ubuntu 12.04 and Mint 13 Cinnamon. No
problem for Mint12. Can still boot into that if needed
Happy to supply whatever you need for more info (just tell me what to do
in little steps....)
