Status in Evince: Fix Released Status in evince package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Binary package hint: evince First of all thank you for developing a fairly nice and intuitive document viewer, and if this bug report is best submitted to some subsystem project which specificly handles printing, well I'm sorry and hope that someone can move it to the right place for me. :) Okay so say you have an HP laserjet 4300 DN which is a duplex laser printer. Say you have the proper PPD file for it. Say you have a 3 (or any odd number) of pages in a PDF document Say you want 2 copies of said document. So you select print, and select 2 copies, and also confirm that "Page Setup->Two-sided" is already set to "Flip on Long Edge". What you end up with is 3 pieces of paper. Each printed on both sides. The main problems are that the 2nd piece of paper contains page 3 on one side, and page 1 on the other. And the general side-y-ness is thrown off by 1 for the entire 2nd copy of the document. I strongly think it should make the 2nd side of the 2nd piece of paper blank and start anew for the 2nd document. and I think most people would agree. :) Also if you attempt to collate in the above situation things get even more silly. You end up with 3 pieces of paper. The first with page 1 printed on both sides and the 2nd paper with page2 on both sides, and so on. BTW, I also tried this on a Xerox Phaser 8550 with its own PPD and experienced the same results.
