Description Alexander Kallenbach 2012-01-10 07:25:28 UTC
Problem description: When using the duplex mode and printing backwards I've always got an empty page as the first page when printing documents with an impair number of pages (3, 5 and so on). I've already posted a bugreport on Launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/df-libreoffice/+bug/872873

Does this option work in other software - in other words is it LO and OOo specific? I read through the launchpad bug and it seems like it is but I'd like just confirmation of that before I triage. Thanks!

Honestly I think we need verification that it works in other software (to rule out it being a driver issue).

Marking as NEEDINFO - please try to print from any other software within Linux and make sure duplex works, if it does, mark this as UNCONFIRMED and we'll go from there.


Thanks

Alexander: with 4.1 sources updated 1 week ago (so must be quite equivalent to 4.1.3), I noticed the option "Print automatically inserted blank pages".
For me, it's unchecked by default.
- File/Print
- second tab "LibreOffice Writer"
- last check option in "Pages" category

Could you give a new try with last LO version + rename your LO directory profile (see https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile) + uncheck this option if needed?
