Re: Bug when Double-side print in evince

[Linuxer Wang <linuxerwang gmail com>]

Hello, Nickolay

I report the bug to gnome-print, but they replied that it's evince 
problem. Can you please have a look at the following reply?

Yours,

Reading your message below I am not sure what you are expecting and what
you are indeed observing. Gnome-print does not handle even/odd page
margin adjustments. That's basically up to the application (evince in
this case).

Moreover, I believe that evince really only ships the complete
postscript code to gnome-print in which case gnome print will not
perform _any_ adjustments.

For applications that use the standard gnome-print printing commands (I
doubt that evince is one of them. Try gnumeric with a duplex capable
printer.) gnomeprint will ask the printer to print duplex. It will _not_
modify the page! That's up to the application.
