Idea #3332: Manual Duplex Printing for the Gnome Print Dialog

Written by rickrich the 5 Mar 08 at 14:07. Category: Others. Related project: Nothing/Others. Status: New
Rationale
You should do "Manual Duplex" printing in the Gnome Print Dialog. This is my #1 most asked for feature, and it doesn't work well in the driver because you need a GUI.

It would print odd pages (1,3,5), put up a GUI that says "Insert the pages again...", and then rotate and print the even pages in the reverse order (6, 4, 2).

...and add a blank page if the number of pages is odd.
This feature should work differently depending on your printer (mine should print even pages first and odd pages in reverse order last).

Also a "booklet printing" feature would be nice (as sugested on http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/3543/ )
