Let's have no more of this nonsense bydirecting attention away from the
major point of my previous mail. You stated in your second post in this
thread that
I am not sure how ununtu-10.04.4 LTS did it but it Just Worked.
You have repeated that claim in other mails. Whatever "Just Worked" was
never specified. It certainly wasn't what I describe above - Two-sided
printing is marked as "Not available"in the GTK and Qt print dialogue.
You can wriggle as much as you want, you have no evidence to back up
what you contend. Whatever you thought worked didn't.
