Well... There's a wide range of things to cover, some people would like printing to pause whilst they re-insert pages. 

OP does have some duplex features like "tumble".
However the nub of duplex printing is in the printer driver or the printer not the application.
From the point of view of Ovation Pro you just print all the sheets in order, and the printer sticks half on the front and half on the back of the paper. So that's print "all" - that's including pamphlets.
Things like left/right or front/back and reverse are for the benefit of people without duplex units.
You can set your printer into duplex mode two ways, first from the printer driver, that's "feeds" bits of printer control language that get inserted into the print job.
Second, if your printer has a control panel with buttons and so on, you can twiddle it into duplex mode.
Your guarantee that duplex works, is that I've had a duplex unit for about 10 years and used it. I've no doubt other users have duplex too, but anything I want gets added quickly.
