I have a nice new HP 7780 printer, which has the double sided printing add-on. The system is Fedora 7 as updated, OOo is openoffice.org-core-2.2.0-14.11.i386. Suppose I have a two page document I want to print double sided. Page one should go on side A, 2 on B. OO does just fine if you print one copy. Print seven and you get several sheets with page 1 on both sides. I aborted at that point to save paper. Adobe Reader was a disaster: it pulled from the wrong tray as well as bungling the double sided stuff. Evince did it right: print two copies at a throw (OK, I'm paranoid), and page 1 goes to side A consistently, page 2 to B. I suspect from the fact that Evince did it right that Reader and OOo have problems, not the printer driver. Has anyone else seen this? RFE: It would be nice if programs showed the command line they build for ghostscript. It would help diagnose problems like this. -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
