You'll need to provide much more detail, such as:

- the make and model of printer
- the PPD for the printer (/etc/cups/ppd/printername)
- check if the duplex option is set in the printer configuration
- set LogLevel to debug in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf, reload CUPS and then
  print a job with duplex enabled.  Then look through
  /var/log/cups/error_log (and show it to us; you might need to bzip2
  it).

I've CC'd the printing list for you.

Roger
