Comment 22 for bug 299918

Dear Till and All,

I run into a very similar problem on Debian Lenny. I understand that this is the bug list for Ubuntu, but maybe someone can help me to fix my problem. My printer is Ricoh Aficio 2035, no PS support is available (only PXL).

I tried to create a new .deb package using the source Ubuntu package in Intrepid (foomatic-filters_4.0.0-0ubuntu3). I successfully created the package and installed on Lenny. Unfortunately I cannot print duplex after the upgrade. Here are my related packages:

I also tried to get the newest PPD file from foomatic-db, so I copied the Ricoh-Aficio_2035_PXL.ppd file from the foomatic-db_20080918-0ubuntu4 package, without success.

My last idea is to use an Ubuntu server instead of Lenny for this special purpose, but I am not sure that it will solve my problem, because as I can understand, I already use the most recent software responsible for printing.

Any help is greatly appreciated and thank you in advance.
