  No change, both evince and okular show duplex as disabled. *I did set it

  there.  But no other app can detect that it is duplex capable.


evince and okular show duplex as "not available", not as "disabled".

The cups test page is a single page. When duplex is "on" on my printer
the sheet is pulled back in after one side is printed. Then it is
ejected. The other side is blank of course.


I have never seen this printer do such a wasted motion. The test page, a
single page, is ejected completely.
Gene, maybe you need to haul that printer back to the station and use Windows to test duplex printing, just to be sure it isn't the printer. :) Ric
