Description illumilore 2015-05-04 21:23:31 UTC

When printing a pdf document, when the print page comes up, I click on options, then the options tab, but the duplex printing option is greyed out, even though in the print configure from system settings, there is the option for duplex printing.

Reproducible: Always

Which version are you using?

Comment 2 illumilore 2015-05-04 22:15:24 UTC

$ okular --version
Qt: 4.8.6
KDE Development Platform: 4.14.6
Okular: 0.21.3

Duplex is only enabled if the ppd of your printer supports duplex. Are you sure it does?

Comment 4 illumilore 2015-05-06 20:28:11 UTC

Yes. I can turn duplex on or off in the system settings>printer options. But it is grayed out on okulars print dialogue.

Comment 5 Albert Astals Cid 2015-05-13 20:26:57 UTC

We don't do anything to enable/disable duplex, that is part of Qt code. I'd typically say that you should report the bug upstream but unfortunately Qt 4.x is no longer developed so well if you can try a Qt5 app and it still happens in there, yes report a bug in the qt5 bug tracker.
