hplip has the annoying bug, that it does mirror the backside on duplex printings. Take a look at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/484928 They say that it is fixed... but it doesn't seem to be fixed in gentoo... The bug seems to be caused by ghostscript and cups. Thx for any advise.

I was the one asking for the requirements there. Now you know why this is not fixed in Gentoo. There is no version released which includes the fix. So how could this be fixed in Gentoo? If we are not aware of the problem, the packages are not patching themselves? So this is not really a bug in hplip but in ghostscript. It is up to the ghostscript maintainers to either patch the current version of ghostscript or simply wait for a new version. After this hplip can depend on this new ghostscript version.

We already had the "old" gdevcups patch in ghostscript-gpl-8.71-r2, which should at least have fixed the duplex problem. Anyway it caused another regression and the updated patch is in ghostscript-gpl-8.71-r3. Please retest with this ghostscript version and report back.
(In reply to comment #3) Thank you very much! It works perfektly now. Have a nice day. saft
Not yet fixed. We need to adjust the dependencies first, after this we can mark this bug as fixed. Other people may still experience this bug as they are not forced to use the new version of ghostscript.
Fixed in hplip-3.10.2-r4. Thanks for reporting.
