Hi,
this is/was actually an issue in the Qt print dialog, but options are
now properly initialized in the current upstream development version.
Most of the improvements will be contained in Qt version 5.11 (more
details on that e.g. in [1] ).
Proper initialization of the duplex value in the print dialog will be
part of Qt 5.12. [2]
Best regards,
Michael
