If so please provide some basic printing information by running the printingbuginfo script on your print client machine. The printingbuginfo script can be found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrintingBugInfoScript. Please also attach a PDF file created with pdfLatex that gives double-sided result.

Pascal, I think we can put this bug regarding my HP DeskJet network/USB
printer to rest:

1. Dapper AMD64 (religiously updated): installed as USB printer
   (the alternative with lower-case letters), printing test page OK,
   and pdfLaTeX produced file no longer spontaneously in double-sided
   mode with printer set to single-sided.

2. Edgy AMD64 (with latest updates): same story.

3. Dapper i386 installed in Parallels VM: installed as JetDirect
   network printer, for the rest same as above.

In all cases using just the suggested hpijs driver, and also the
HPLIP packages from the liveCD installed.

Thanks for all the good work!
