How to identify
Does the behavior you’re seeing seem unexpected and/or odd?
Is the behavior you’re seeing different from that in previous versions?
Are you able to repeat the behavior under a particular set of circumstances?

“Engineering has determined that this issue behaves as intended based on the following: !
There is a comment in the code: // check if any 3rd party PDE handles Duplex - if one // is found, send a notification to hide our Duplex UI !
and it is related to Bug ID 4827573: EPSON's CUPS Driver can not Disable Duplex setting of Layout PDE. !
This is done by design.”
