Duplex printing using different settings

Asked by Clint Steed

I have 2 issues regarding duplex printing.

Firstly, there are 2 places where printer options are set and different applications use either of the two. They are set seperately and do not change each other.

Secondly, the Evince in-app printing options do not override the default printer options.

1. Duplex printing in (Evince) Document Viewer is controlled from gnome-control-center (Settings->Printers->Printer Options). The in-app duplex-settings do not work.
2. Duplex printing in Mendeley is controlled from system-config-printer (Settings->Printers->Additional Printer Settings).

Why would different applications use different printer default options?
Should they not be unified?
If the in-app settings don't work how do we save the trees?

Note: This could be responsible for numerous duplex printing bugs so I have not linked to all.

Hi there, it sounds like you're having some trouble with duplex printing on your Samsung x3220 printer. It can be frustrating when different applications use different default options for printing. Unfortunately, it's not uncommon for applications to have their own printing settings that are separate from the system settings. This can be especially problematic when the in-app settings don't override the default printer options.

To save paper and reduce waste, you may need to experiment with different settings to find the best configuration for your needs. It might be helpful to check your printer's manual or manufacturer's website for more information on how to adjust the duplex printing settings. Good luck!

Can you help with this problem?
