Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): hplip-3.11.3a-5.mga1 How reproducible: Install HP printer which has a duplexer fitted. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install printer with the CUPS Web Interface 2. Try to find the relevant hpijs ppd 3. It isn't there so we have to select the hpcups ppd 4. Perform a test print with a pdf document in Okular - duplex printing works correctly. 5. Perform a test print with an html document in Firefox and, despite warnings about conflicting settings, duplex printing works correctly. 6. Perform a test print with an odt document in LibreOffice - no options available for duplex printing.

Well, as im doing hplip update to 3.11.7, i've had a look at it. The hpijs PPDs are contained in the hplip-hpijs-ppds package, and they can be found under /usr/share/ppd/HP/ Is this package installed? It should be, since hplip requires hplip-hpijs-ppds.

Yes, the hplip-hpijs-ppds package is installed and if I look in /usr/share/ppd/HP, I see 886 gzip'd ppd files. If I look inside hp-officejet_pro_8000_a809.ppd.gz, it contains the hp-officejet_pro_8000_a809.ppd and if I look at the sixth line of that file, it says: *FileVersion: "hpcups 3.11.3a". Just to make sure which ppd is actually being used, I look in /etc/cups/ppd and I see the same uncompressed ppd file. However, after doing a bit of fiddling around, I've managed to get duplex printing working in LibreOffice by selecting a paper size of "A4 AutoDuplex 210x297mm" instead of "A4 210x297mm". By doing this, the duplex printing options are now available.
As the PPDs are not missing, closing as invalid.
