           Summary: kdeprint odd/even print doesn't work as expected with
                    multiple pages per sheet
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Debian testing
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs kde org
        ReportedBy: kde csmiller demon co uk


Version:            (using KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

I tried to print a 12-page pdf as double sided, two pages per side on a non-duplex printer.
I did this by selecting two-pages-per side on the advanced options dialog, and odd only on the main dialog.

kdeprint did what I asked for, not what I meant, namely it printed pages 1&3 on the first sheet, then 5&7 on the next, etc.

To do what I wanted, I had to manually select the page ranges 1,2,5,6,9,10... and 3,4,7,8...
I think there should be a DWIM option for this. I found bugs 107936 and 60037, which may be related.
