I think there have been changes to the PPD options for this.  How are you connecting the

printer -- wifi or USB?

My wife has a Canon Printer that support AirPrint.  In Gnome Settings it gets

<http://Canon MG7500 series._ipp._tcp.local:631>.  On the "Printer Test Page" the

entry for Make and Model has:

MG7500 series - IPP Everywhere

The Duples sectionis the PPD file is:

*OpenUI *Duplex: PickOne
*OrderDependency: 10 AnySetup *Duplex
*en_CA.Translation Duplex/2-Sided Printing: ""
*DefaultDuplex: None
*Duplex None: "<</Duplex false>>setpagedevice"
*en_CA.Duplex None/Off (1-Sided): ""
*Duplex DuplexNoTumble: "<</Duplex true/Tumble false>>setpagedevice"
*en_CA.Duplex DuplexNoTumble/Long-Edge (Portrait): ""
*Duplex DuplexTumble: "<</Duplex true/Tumble true>>setpagedevice"
*en_CA.Duplex DuplexTumble/Short-Edge (Landscape): ""
*CloseUI: *Duplex

 

The defaults for the printer is set to
job-sheets=none, none media=na_letter_8.5x11in sides=two-sided-long-edge
I've restarted CUPS on F38.
The problem occurs with both gedit and vim.
In the case of gedit, page setup tells me I've set it up correctly,
but it still does the wrong thing.

Any ideas on what is wrong, how I can fix it or how I can find out?

Is this a new install or was the printer working under Fedora in the past?

That printer claims to support AirPrint, so should work with IPP Everywhere, but there are

also legacy CUPS PPD files
