Description Vladimir Vuksan 2003-06-20 18:14:34 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1)
Installed from:    RedHat RPMs

If you try and print multiple copies of a document to a duplex printer kprinter will concatenate the job together causing problems on jobs that have odd number of pages ie. I have a print job that is 3 pages long and I am printing 2 copies of a document. Last page of first copy and first page of second copy will be printed on the same sheet of paper back to back.

THis is using CUPS.

Try please to print a test 2 copies of a document of odd number of pages using the lpr(1) command from the CUPS package. Does it still print the last page of the first copy and the first page of the second on the same sheet?

Vladimir,

can you tell the version of CUPS you are using? I know an early version of CUPS showed this behavior (for me it was a feature, Mike Sweet thought of it as a bug, so it may be changed now in CUPS 1.2.7).

Also, can you please try

  lp -d yourprinter /path/to/file1-with-odd-no-of-pages /path/to/2nd-file

and see if this is still the case?

(And if it is, it is a CUPS thingie [bug or feature]).

In any case, I will close this bug report now, because

 (a) INVALID (it is not KDEPrint's responsibility)
 (b) timeout -- no feedback since Cristian's request (2005-10-24 14:05)

Cheers,
Kurt
