Hi Thierry, I think Owen wanted to say that this would change the default if there wasn't a bug in gnome_print_cups_adjust_settings. A short look into that function makes it clear that currently gnome-print will always start out with a default of duplex/notumble. Whatever you are doing with the ppd file. It's only a copy and past bug in that the wrong option identifier is used. It isn't clear to me though what the correct one should be. Please file a bug in bugzilla. Thanks Andreas
Thank you for your help! I also had tried to edit my printer's PPD file. I removed the whole section regarding duplex support. Unfortunately, this had no effect on the print dialog. The duplex options were always displayed (for this printer, generic print and PDF print), not sure why. Does libgnomeprint cache some information, or are the printer's capabilities always queried dynamically from CUPS and the PPD file? What happens if no duplex section exists? Anyway, I will try once more to change th PPD file. Just to be sure... I thank you in advance, and I wish you a good day! Thierry
