Hi,
I am very happy with TurboPrint it works well with my Canon Pixma IP4300. Well I still have a problem: I can not disable duplex printing. It gets blocked on this function. When I turn off and I come back then in the printer settings, the button is returned to the duplex function ...
Regards.

Re: Duplex printing seems blocked
Hello,
from which application did you print?
Please check the default settings in TurboPrint Control Center. If duplex is deactivated, also check the command line settings from a "Terminal" window:
lpoptions -p <printername>
(replace <printername> with the queue short name, e.g. tp0 - as shown in TurboPrint Control, column "short").
There you may find something like "sides=two-sided-long-edge"
Try to remove the duplex settings before printing:
lpoptions -p <printername> -r sides

Re: Duplex printing seems blocked
I tried the command line option and removed the 'sides' option. This did not work. I've attached a picture of the window that pops up. This printer is my default and is a Canon Pixma iP3600. I have another printer using TurboPrint, a Canon Pixma MX920, which does print duplex. I need to keep this duplex function for this one.
I'l re-boot to see if that has any effect.

Before printing, please also check the settings in the print dialog - e.g. LibreOffice print dialog: button "Properties..." -> "Duplex" = "Off"

Re: Duplex printing seems blocked
Duplex is off in Libre Office print settings, as it is in Firefox. I had this problem before, several updates ago, and I simply don't remember how I corrected it, or if another update corrected it.
