Description

One-sided printing when the Duplex print option is selected for Java source code files.

When printing my Java code file from the File/Print menu, I selected the 2-sided Duplex option prior to sending the job to the printer. However, the print job came out printed on only 1 side.

Steps taken:

1. Checked all options in NetBeans, only found the Duplex option on the Print Dialog
2. Selected Appearance tab on the Print Dialog
3. Selected Duplex option button on the Appearance tab
4. Clicked Print button
5. Received one-sided print job

Using Brother MFC-L2710DW laser printer with proprietary drivers installed. Print duplex jobs from all other applications that I use with no problems, so it is not on the printer end.

Perhaps there is an option I am missing somewhere that would allow us to use the system print dialog from within NetBeans?
