printer duplexing: abiword works, why not OO or evince?
I am using gutsy and printing to a KonicaMinolta bizhub 350. It prints just fine, and I see the different driver options like optional duplexer. However, when I print, abiword and gedit are happy to print in duplex, but I can't get anything else to. OO prints single sided as does evince. I wish I knew why.
What gives? I am using the postscript PPD driver file.
In Openoffice.org, the printer tray options are off by default. Go into File - Print - Options, and, in the Other block, click in the "Paper tray from printer settings" box to turn on duplex printng.
I don't use Evince, so I can't say how to do it there.
