The new modal print dialog box which is being tested doesn't have an option to use both sides of the paper when printing (duplex printing). Firefox will not use the system setting for duplex printing (on macOS, at least) unless the system print dialog box is used.

How to Reproduce

  1. Have a printer that supports two-sided printing (also called duplex printing). My printer is a Brother HL6050-DN, using the BR-Script3 driver.
  2. Try to print something. The new print preview dialog box will appear.
  3. There is no option to enable two-sided printing, and printed pages will not be duplex printed.

Expected Behavior

An option for two-sided printing should be visible next to the color and 'which pages to print' pulldown menus, if the printer supports it.

Component: General → Printing

I'm not sure if this is a v83 thing, but it can start there.
