you do not get "One" and "Two" printed on both sides of one sheet of paper?
It works now. From the command line.
O.k. - then it is very likely not a bug in CUPS 1.5.0.
Acrobat Reader shows a strange dialogue window (File -> Print -> Properties) with loads of emtpy lines, only two entries visible on the left side and somewhere an entry on the right side. Invisible only, I think, because I can select three lines on the right side when the first empty line on the left side is visible.
Usually, Acroread just shows the options that are already selected as default. Just pressing the "OK" button printed on both sides. Now it doesn't, and I can't see the options. But this might be an issue of Acrobat together with KDE 4.7.2, I don't know.
Does it perhaps help to move ~/.adobe/ away for a test? Perhaps the Adobe Reader stores printing related details there which need some kind of reset after a CUPS version upgrade? I have printing related stuff in ~/.adobe/Acrobat/9.0/Preferences/reader_prefs Proprietary software like the Adobe Reader may somehow depend on whatever implementation details in CUPS 1.4.x which might have changed in CUPS 1.5.0 or on whatever implementation details in whatever other software. Even if a change in CUPS lets the Adobe Reader print dialog no longer work well, only Adobe could adapt their proprietary software to work again with the current versions of free software packages and only Adobe could check if a change in whatever free software package would be actually a bug and report such a bug to the appropriate free software project because only Adobe knows how their proprietary software works.
This leads into nowhere :-(
This leads to a not really surprising finding about proprietary software. If other users of the Adobe Reader could confirm that since the upgrade from CUPS 1.4.x to CUPS 1.5.0 the Adobe Reader print dialog does no longer work well, please file a bug report so that the issue is at least known and reported to us. Of course because the Adobe Reader is proprietary software, all what we could do is to inform Adobe about the issue and then wait until Adobe releases an update of their proprietary software.
