Since the power outage I had only tried to use firefox to print. After you
asked I tried LibreOffice the print dialog says "Two-sided not available" yet
when I click the print button the document is printed two-sided. I then opened
a pdf file (do not know what program was used) I also got the "Two-sided not
available" and it also printed two sided. I then tried firefox same message
and print results as above. So "Two-sided not available" does not seam correct
since the print results is two-sided, and the Two-sided option can not be
changed. I think I am a little confused.
