Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Core Graveyard :: Printing: Xprint, defect)

We have our printers running under CUPS.  When you go to the "Print" pop up
window (print button or File -> Print) and click the properties button for the
selected printer, the printer defaults set by CUPS are read as the defaults for
Xprint to use.  For example, we have one print queue set to "duplex" by default
under CUPS but the properties of this printer under Xprint default to "simplex".
 You can then select "duplex" from the drop down list of options for the printer
in Xprint.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set your CUPS print queue default to "duplex"
2. In Moz, File -> Print
3. Investigate the default printer properties by pressing the "properties" button

Actual Results:  
The queue default of "duplex" is not recognised and "simplex" is displayed.

Expected Results:  
The queue defaults should be shown in the properties pop-up.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
