HP PSC 2510 duplex printing problem

Hi,

I have just installed a new Archlinux computer and configured my HP PSC 2510. However I can't print in duplex mode.
I have installed cups and hplip and configured with the correct driver the printer (the one proposed by cups ...2510...)

I have entered the config correctly, checking duplex installed option in options, and fixed A4 autoduplex as default paper and long edge for duplex mode.

When I open an openoffice document, and I want to print it, if I check the properties, everything is ok except duplex option that is fixed on 'Off'.
I then edit it and fix 'long edge'. I accept and recheck if option is fixed right, but 'off' is shown again!

Even if I try to print, duplex is not used anyway.

I have googled the problem and haven't found nothing so far.

Has someone any idea how to solve the problem?

best,

jcerdan

[..] After selecting file/print/properties, in the new window the option for "Duplex" shows "Off". If I change that to "Long-Edge", then "OK", and then select "Properties" again, "Duplex" shows "Off" again. However, if I change "Off" to "<ignore>", then "OK", and then select "Properties" again, now "Duplex" shows "Long Edge" and the printer prints on both sides!

 Does this workaround work for you?
