Double sided printing, odd number of pages

Hi,
I have installed TurboPrint 1.95 on Ubuntu 4 using a Canon MP830.
Printing nicely! I have double sided printing set as default. When I print
just one single page, I have to wait for along timeout or manually eject
the page. Checked the manual for a fix, nothing obvious found. Is there a
setup thing to improve/fix this? Turning duplex off is one way, maybe there is
something better?

Cheers,
Lars

Hello,

do you mean that you have to wait only if duplex is turned on?

It is true that the page is always reversed even if there is only one side to print on. There is no "quick fix" except to turn off duplex. I will investigate if there is a better solution for a future TurboPrint version.

Yes, exactly as you say.

If I print a one-sided page, after a long delay the paper is pulled back
into the duplexer and then immediately ejected "upside down".

Mistake in my first post: OS is Ubuntu 6.06
