Can you mention what printer / which specific PPD you are using?
Can you confirm it's this one http://www.openprinting.org/printer/Lexmark/Lexmark-CX510de

The original bug report says duplex does not work in Chromium via the system dialog. Does it work in Firefox with the system dialog? The system dialog UI should be very similar in both browsers.

Yes, Firefox prints in duplex using the system dialog box on the same machine.

fly@ Thanks for the feedback.

Unable to test this issue at TE end as this setup is not available. Hence adding 'TE-Hardware-Dependency' label.

thestig@ Request you to please check this issue and help in further triaging.

Thanks..

Since I don't have the printer, I tried the following:

1) Put the PPD to /etc/cups/ppd
2) Stop CUPS.
3) Set the <DefaultPrinter> entry in /etc/cups/printers.conf to use it the PPD.
4) Set the <DefaultPrinter> entry in /etc/cups/printers.conf to have a DeviceURI of file:///tmp/output.prn .
5) In /etc/cups/cups-files.conf, set: FileDevice Yes .
6) Restart CUPS.
7) Print from Firefox and moved /tmp/output.prn to /tmp/f.prn.
8) Print from Chromium and moved /tmp/output.prn to /tmp/c.prn.

Comparing f.prn and c.prn, the headers with the duplex settings look the same. So AFAICT, both browsers send the duplex setting to the printer.


In the initial bug report, you said this works in Ubuntu with Chromium 64, but does not work with Antergos and Chromium 65. Can you:

- Check and make sure the two computers actually have the same PPD.
- Try Ubuntu and Antergos with the same version of Chromium. Did this regress in Chromium 65? Or are the two machines just set up differently?
