Public bug reported:
I am using ubuntu 18.04 LTS. After an automatic update of libcups (and
related) from 2.2.7-1ubuntu2 to 2.2.7-1ubuntu2.1 I have been unable to
print double-sided, e.g., printing a pdf from evince using the standard
printer dialog. I have not changed the printer or printer drivers during
this and before everything was working fine.
I suspect that the option that is used for duplex printing is has changed and
is wrong now. It seems to be "DuplexNoTumble", see
$ lpoptions -l | grep -i duplex
Duplex/Duplex: *None DuplexNoTumble DuplexTumble
After using evince and the standard printer dialog to issue a print job where I
selected "Long Edge (standard)" for the "Two Sided" option, I see the following
in the cups error log:
$ cat /var/log/cups/error_log | grep -i duplex

Moreover, when trying to print from console I discovered that
$ lp -o Duplex=DuplexNoTumble whatever.pdf
prints single-sided, whereas
$ lp -o sides=two-sided-long-edge whatever.pdf
successfully prints double-sided.
