Version: (using KDE 4.2.96) OS: Linux Installed from: SuSE RPMs When either collate or reverse (possibly both: not tested) print output options is selected, Okular seems to send each page to the printer one at a time instead of the whole document at once. This results in the following printer behavior: 1. Receive data 2. Process page 1 3. Load paper 4. Print page 1 5. Process page 2 6. Load paper 7. Print page 2 8. And so on By contrast, when neither option is selected, the printer behaves as expected: 1. Receive data 2. Process page 1 (and probably more) 3. Load paper 4. Print page 1 while loading another sheet 5. Print page 2 while loading another sheet 6. And so on Not sure if perhaps the implementation of these options is creating several discrete PostScript files and sending them in the desired order to the printer or something. (Tested using Konqueror.) Okular version 0.8.90 Using KDE 4.2.96 (KDE 4.3 RC2) "release 142" OpenSUSE 11.1 Brother HL-4070cdw Brother's PPD file version 1 (2007-04-18)
Sorry, flagrant mistake in the first sentence of the report. It should read: "... output options is selected, KDEprint seems to send ..."
Hmmm, have to say this sounds like a CUPS or driver issue. KDE apps simply print the full From/To page range entered in the print dialog in ascending page order into one print file and then pass the full print file onto CUPS which applies the Reverse/Collate flags before sending to the printer. Can you check what happens with a non-KDE app like Firefox, Gimp, or OpenOffice? If the same behviour then it is definitely CUPS.
