Hi,
I'm using a samsung clp-300 printer shared from a windows host via samba. With mandriva 2010 it was working perfectly, even the manual duplexing selected in the print dialog. Recently this function got broken. In okular/print/options/ duplex printing is greyed out both in mageia beta2, kubuntu 10.10 and kubuntu 11.04 (I also wanted to test it in opensuse but was unable to install the printer via samba). In search for the cause of the regression I contacted the author of the foo2qpdl driver, hoping he has an idea but I think he didn't understand my problem. I tried to explain it again but he deleted my post and closed the topic. I just wanted to get an answer if he had changed something in the driver or it was a kde problem introduced with some new qt-stuff or kde4.6.
If I check my problem with google I only find bug reports about the qt print system which kde is using not obeying the default cups settings. But my problem is that I can't even change the duplex setting in system-config-printer either.
Making me more confused is that if I install the splix driver in mageia and select it as the driver of the printer then suddenly the duplex option is selectable in okular. Only problem is that splix isn't working at all, can't even print a test page.
Do you have any idea what is going on? I don't even know which package should I file a bug report against.
Thank you!
