These are the only versions of Fedora I have handy...

I use enscript to print IETF docs off in 2up/duplex:

enscript -2r --margins=:::45 -DDuplex:true -P HP8600 draft-moskowitz-sse-00.txt

Worked fine last fall, then stopped working when I installed F20; I don't recall what I was running prior, I think F19. What stopped was the Duplex feature. I put up with this for the past year, no 2-sided printing. So I tried it on the F21 beta today, and still no duplex. Then I remembered I have an Asus EE 4g Surf with F17 on it. I set up the printer and this version DOES do duplex.

So some point, I think with F20 something changed, perhaps in hplip such that the Duplex option is no longer working.

Any ideas on how to figure this out? Printing IETF docs nicely is not so easy. They are exactly formated to page size, and you can't pay around with that so easily. It took me a bit to figure out the margins to get it to fit.

Oh, Libre office, Firefox, and Thunderbird all do duplex printing just fine to the HP8600. There is a nice dialog to select 2-sided printing.
