The command above lacks the file/document to print? :-?

You can first check that duplex printing is an available option for your 
driver:

***
lpoptions -p printername -l | grep -i duplex

If it is listed there and you get no output when calling "lpr", take a 
look into CUPS logs (/var/log/cups/*), maybe there is any error there.
