Opensuse 12.2
Firefox 17
Cups 1.5.4
I have recently moved from opensuse 11.4 to 12.2 (new installation) and
now find that I cannot print in duplex from firefox, thunderbird, google
chrome and kate.
Printer OKI C531dn, using the oki supplied ppd file.
Duplex printing is faultless in okular, acrobat and libreoffice (once
the printer language type in libreoffice is changed from pdf to
postscript), but firefox, thunderbird, chrome and kate will not print
duplex whatever the settings in their print dialogues.
In 11.4, using the same ppd file, there was no problem with duplex
printing, using a cups 1.5.4 server.
Also, I can print in duplex from these applications in xubuntu12.04 and
Mint14, using the same ppd file. The cups version is 1.6.1 on both these
machines.
The fact that I had to change the printer language type in Libreoffice
from pdf to postscript to enable duplex printing made me wonder whether
there is something similar I have to change in the mozilla/kate/chrome
configuration, but I haven't been able to find anything similar.
If I redirect the print from the cups server on my 12.2 to a virtualbox
mint14 cups server, then duplex printing works, so it does seem
something specific to the 12.2 setup.
I'd appreciate any pointers to how I can correct this.

Try printing to postscript file instead, and then you can use okular or gv
to print it to paper.

Thanks. I appreciate that as a work-around. I could similarly send it
to cups-pdf and print that. However, since duplex printing worked fine
in opensuse 11.4, and does in mint and xubuntu, I'd like to get the same
functionality back in opensuse 12.2. We do a lot of printing and having
always to go through a 2-stage process seriously upsets our users.

I do not use 12.2, so I can't verify; and anyway, I don't have a duplex
capable printer.
But I would report in bugzilla.

fwiw . . .
Duplex works fine in 12.2 on my HP1100dtn. While the upgrade installed the
latest driver package, it did not assign the driver to the existing printer
queue, I needed to do that as an extra step in YaST. I also found that at
least for this printer there were two driver options, and only the "cups"
version supported full functionality.
If you have an HP printer, it is better to install it via HP's toolbox, where
duplexing can be turned on. It can also be enabled directly thru the cups
localhost interface.
