Way back in the distant past I did post to this list a detailed 
description of how to add duplex settings to a postscript printer 
definition. After doing a search I found the post, see:
http://www.davidpilling.info/cd/DavidPilling/Maillist/2002_09.txt
and scroll down past halfway. The message is dated Mon, 09 Sep 2002
and the subject is Duplex Printing.

The PostScript commands to switch the printer into duplex mode are 
device specific, so the commands in my posting may not work with your 
printer. You need to check the PPD file from the Windows/Mac driver to 
find the correct codes.
