Comment 11 for bug 299918

George, Bin Li, and anyone else, please do the following tests (have a Ricoh or OEM printer with PostScript option handy):

1. Install the Ubuntu-supplied package of Ricoh PPDs:

sudo apt-get install openprinting-ppds-extra

2. Clone your print queue with system-config-printer, into a queue named "test". To do so, right-click your print queue's icon, choose "Copy" in the pop-up menu, nad then enter "test" as the new name.

3. Make the test queue use a Ubuntu-supplied PPD:

lpadmin -p test -P /usr/share/ppd/openprinting/Ricoh/PS/<your printer model>.ppd.gz -o PageSize=A4

4. Print to this queue:

lpr -P test -o Duplex=DuplexNoTumble <more than one page>.pdf

It should not come out double-sided on Intrepid.

Now we try a possible fix:

1. Install the latest and greatest foomatic-rip (RC for Foomatic 4.0):

sudo apt-get install build-essential bzr libgs-dev autoconf automake
bzr branch http://bzr.openprinting.org/devel/foomatic-filters-devel
cd foomatic-filter-devel
./make_configure
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc
make
sudo cp foomatic-rip /usr/bin

2. Print the job of the first test again:

lpr -P test -o Duplex=DuplexNoTumble <more than one page>.pdf

Does it come out double-sided now? Does your regular printing work correctly now?
