Duplex printing, short-edge/long-edge problem

Asked by Colin Brough

HP OfficeJet Pro 251dw, connected via network (wifi from printer to router, wired from router to PC); HPLIP 3.13.8 on Ubuntu 12.04.

Printing duplex from OpenOffice works fine, but duplex from commandline only ever does short-edge binding:

lpr -o sides=two-sided-long-edge file.pdf
lpr -o sides=two-sided-short-edge file.pdf

Both produce duplex output, but oriented for short-edge binding...

Am I getting the command-line options wrong, or is something going wrong?

Thanks.

Colin
