Bug#773543: evince printing bug

hi,
The origin of the bug in that evince ignores the printer settings, which is not the case
with acroread or okular: when printing to a printer with a duplexer, their default
setting is "double-sided printing: long edge", and when printing to a printer without
duplexer, the default is "double-sided printing: none" . It is possible to change
this default with acroread (and evince), but not with okular.
So, for evince, a workaround is to set, in Page setup/layout, the value of the
"two-sided" parameter according the most often used printers, and save it. But you must not
forget to modify it each time you print to a printer of the other type.
