Description Martin van Es 2010-02-05 09:00:10 UTC

Version:           4.3.5 (using KDE 4.3.5)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

When printing 2-up, the meaning of short/long side duplex printing is reversed and thus very confusing. I suggest a long/short correction depending on the resulting landscape/portrait reversal.

Hmm... it may be that our printer simply doesn't understand duplex on the short side. I'm still curious if the printer dialog does some kind of intelligent correction for multi-page per sheet duplex printing though?
