kyocera p5021cdn duplex printing issue

[Craig85]

Dear All,

I recently bought a Kyocera p5021cdn printer. I connected it to my raspberry pi via usb. My plan is to share this printer on the network over this rpi (using ipp). The basic things are working fine. I installed the cups and samba, the printer is accessible from the network, I can print files, but the duplex printing doesn't work properly. There are 2 scenarios:
1. When I use the cups offered driver, the printer asks for MP tray. In this case I need to select the correct paper tray on the printer itself and the duplex printing works. (of course I don't want to select it manually every time, when I print)
2. When I use the official printer driver, the paper tray selection is automatic, but the duplex printing doesn't work.

I tried to check and modify the driver, but didn't find the source of this issue.

Could you suggest me something, that I can try?

Thanks for everything!

More than likely it is going to the bypass because of the media type. It should tell you what it's looking for on the display of the printer.
The windows driver uses coated paper as their default media.
Cardstock or labels would disable duplexing.

Thank you! I specified A4. Do you think the paper size can be wrongly specified for this?

Media size is one thing, media type is another. Check your media type is set for plain paper (usually 60-90gsm).
