Description Sergio 2012-11-07 10:24:45 UTC 
The bug is in kde 4.9.3, with okular 1.15.3 (currently not specificable from version dropdown list)

Say that you have a 3 page PDF (i.e. page 1, page 2 and page 3), and that you ask okular to print it in 3 copies, using duplexing and collating.

You expect

Sheet 1, front is page 1 back is page 2
Sheet 2, front is page 3 back is empty
Sheet 3, front is page 1 back is page 2
Sheet 4, front  is page 3 back is empty
Sheet 5, front is page 1 back is page 2
Sheet 6, front  is page 3 back is empty

Unfortunately, you get

Sheet 1, front is page 1 back is page 2
Sheet 2, front is page 3 back is page 1
Sheet 3, front is page 2 back is page 3
Sheet 4, front is page 1 back is page 2
Sheet 5, front is page 3 back is empty

Which is quite useless


Reproducible: Always

Can you reproduce that behaviour in other KDE/Qt based programs like calligrawords?

KDE 4.9 printing has broken duplex.  It occurs in all apps I have tried (kate, kwrite, libre office, okular).  See bug 311656, or bug 198795, or one of the many bugs that KDE likes to "resolve" by marking as a duplicates.

No answer for years.
Comment 4 Sergio 2014-05-08 14:39:43 UTC 
Completely forgot about it. It is fixed in recent KDE, though.
