Dear Maintainer,

Trying to print some PDF documents from evince using duplex led me to an
impossibility.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

In the "page setup" tab of the "printing" dialog box, I tried to set the
"Duplex" option to "Duplex long edge". To no avail : the only available option
is "Single-side" (or something to that effect : my french interface says
"Recto").

Things to note :
        1) The relevant printer IS correctly configured, and has been able,
until fairly recently, to print duplex -long-edge or short-edge) from evince.
        2) This printer is still able to print duplex :
                a) from the command-line : "lpr -P <trherightqueue> -o
Duplex=DuplexTumble" does The Right Thing
                b) from Wine's Acrobat Reader : all printing option wok as
advertised
                c) from LibreOffice : ditto...

   * What was the outcome of this action?

No duplex printing available... fron evince

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

To be able to duplex-print from evince.

HTH,

                                        Emmanuel Charpentier

PS1 : I didn't try to install evince-gtk, because this would lose gnome and
gnome-task-desktop from my installed packages. I saw another bug report
suggesting to add that evonce-gtk provides evince, and second that suggestion.

PS2 : I also second the (acrimonious) report about the "vandalization" of the
evince interface, but this would be more accurately to the master  Gnome
vandals team...

Dear evince maintainers (or upstream authors),

It is interesting that the duplex option is available in the
"Advanced" tab, but as Emmanuel says, on the "Page Setup" tab, it just
says: "Two-sided: Not available" and the option box is greyed out.

I'm using evince 3.22.1-3

Best wishes,

   Julian

I can't print duplex in evince. Other applications, including inkscape or
gimp, can use duplex without problem. The bug showed months ago. When can
we get a solution to this?
