A definit plus and a couple of yahbuts, I have now tried okular and evince,
which do not use a printer dialog proud enough to have a help screen or name,
neither can adjust the duplex settings, but both have now printed the 2 page
test page correctly duplexed. We seem to have plunked the magic twanger in
the right key.
First yahbut is that kmail las lost its speller, and 2nd, seems to have a
limited memory for filter rules, I have had to remake 7 or 8 so far today
that were working perfectly yesterday but have disappeared from the filter
menu since.
I don't recall ever having a problem like this in kmail, ever.
I think I'll restart it just for S&G.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
