[Bug 2126551] [NEW] CPDB saves collate=true as default despite user setting it to false (Ubuntu 25.04)

  Thread Previous • Date Previous • • Thread Next 
Public bug reported:

## Bug Description
The collate option is saved as enabled by default in CPDB print settings, causing print jobs to fail on certain printers (and mine in particular) - print job even don't start. Even when manually disabled in print dialogs, it gets re-enabled on next print.

## Environment
- **OS**: Ubuntu 25.04
- **CPDB version**: 2.0b7-0ubuntu1
- **Desktop**: GNOME
- **Printer**: HP LaserJet Pro MFP M479dw

## Steps to Reproduce
1. Open any document (PDF, image, etc.)
2. Print dialog shows "Collate" option checked and greyed out when copies=1
3. Change copies to 2, uncheck "Collate", change copies back to 1
4. Print works
5. Next print: "Collate" is checked again

## Expected Behavior
CPDB should respect user preference and save collate=false as default

## Actual Behavior
CPDB file shows: `multiple-document-handling#separate-documents-collated-copies#`
Should be: `multiple-document-handling#separate-documents-uncollated-copies#`

## CPDB Configuration File
Location: `~/.config/cpdb/print-settings`

```

## Current workaround
* Fixing ~/.config/cpdb/print-settings is not enough
* You have to manually edit other already generated print-settings files and set `collate=false` :

# locate print-settings
~/.config/cpdb/print-settings
~/.config/eog/eog-print-settings.ini
~/.config/papers/print-settings
~/.local/share/org.gnome.TextEditor/print-settings
~/snap/evince/1063/.config/evince/print-settings
