Description Zakhar 2018-04-11 04:51:41 UTC
Okular doesn't permit users to print on both sides (duplex printing) a crucial feature
Comment 1 Zakhar 2018-04-11 04:52:46 UTC
same goes for every other kde app that edits text or views documents
Comment 2 Oliver Sander 2018-04-11 07:03:21 UTC
I do duplex printing with Okular every day, so I'd say that your problem is somewhere in the lower layers.  CUPS misconfiguration, maybe?

Well after extensive searching in print menu dialogs I could NOT locate a duplex option. Refer to screen shots.
Comment 6 Zakhar 2018-04-11 07:13:15 UTC
Had to use google chrome for duplex.

Your first screenshot shows a "Duplex Printing" section. By saying there is no duplex option, do you mean that everything except for "None" is greyed out? (it's not visible on the screenshot)

Also, can you please run the following command in a terminal and paste the output here (it lists the CUPS options available for your printer):

lpoptions -p Officejet_Pro_6830
