In Ubuntu 16.04, Okular had this nice "Pages" tab in the printing dialog:
Okular Printing Dialog in Ubuntu 16.04



In Ubuntu 18.04, this tab is not there anymore. There is a similar option for printing multiple pages per sheet in the printer "Properties" dialog, but it doesn't allow printing a border around each page.
Is there a way to get this "Pages" tab also in Okular of Ubuntu 18.04?

    I see what you see and it's possible that the lack of the feature is somehow related to the move to Qt5. Others have also experienced print-related issues for qt5 applications. See this post and other posts in that thread.

    Ok, so it seems it's a QT5 "problem" (thanks DK Bose for the comment and link). So now I have four options (for printing 9 pages per side, with borders, duplex):




    1. Print with Okular. Unfortunately I can't print borders around the pages.

    2. Print manually with
      lp -d HP -o sides=two-sided-long-edge -o landscape -o number-up=9 -o page-border=single foo.pdf
      Unfortunately this doesn't print duplex, probably because of this bug.

    3. Downgrade to Ubuntu 16.04.

    4. Print on Windows in my virtual machine :D I anyway already need Windows for upgrading my navigation device, copy photos from my phone and copy files to usb sticks fast.


    Any other ideas? I really don't like any of those four options. This is basic printing, shouldn't be so hard.
