Currently printing to a duplex printer results in long-edge flip duplexing. Period. This does not, for example, allow printing a single sheet and spitting it right out (minor) or printing a booklet (requires short-edge flip for correct orientation).

The workaround I use is to print to file. If I convert that to PDF the postscript code that forces long-edge flip is stripped and when I print the PDF I can use the normal print requestor to select what I want (none, short-edge or long-edge).

What I would like is that ability in the PgS print requester. A drop-down with those three options should suffice. Even better would be to default to the appropriate setting for binding-edge (see bug 135), although it should still allow the user to override.

My apologies if this is duplicated, but I did a search on the word "duplex" and bugzilla said no results found...

not sure when this was fixed, but it works in current versions (e.g., 5.0.3.4)
