Description ramon 2006-03-27 10:53:47 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.1)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

when i print 2 pages on one and i select "odd pages", flip the sides and print afterwards "even pages" i get the result: 
"1st sheet: page 1 and 3; flip side: page 2 and 4 "
like described at bug #82123 .
When i print it with kprinter directly ("kprinter file.pdf") with same options, the result is like i want it:
"1st sheet: page 1 and 2; flip side: page 3 and 4 ".

ramon,

what is the exact difference with your 2 methods?

When printing with kprinter directly, did you also activate the "Odd" pages feature in kprinter?

(Setting timeout for feedback by reporter to March 1st, 2007. Unless there is some more info from the reporter, this bug will be closed then. Note also, that bug 82123 has been extensively discussed there, and a working solution given to users complaining about this.)

>what is the exact difference with your 2 methods?

the method is the same, but the results differ. With both programs i use the same settings.
The main point is, that in my opinion, the kpdf printmenu and the kprinter dialog should behave equaly. In fact, for me it took a while to realize that both printing dialogs are not the same.

yes, i did.
btw., thanks for your work!

(Bug reassigned to kdeprint, as it seems more like a KDE Print problem than a KPDF one.)

Closing as duplicate of bug 82123. See also the screenshot attachments at bug 82123 to learn how to do the printjob as needed.

KDEPrint is obsolete, unmaintained and will never be revived.  Closing all open bugs.
