I just got a 2200d (I think probably between your posts, actually), and
I have gotten the double-sided printing working. I've tried a bunch of
different configurations and CUPS was the easiest to make work.
Install cupsys, cupsys-bsd (or cupsys-client, or both) and hp-ppd; you
need hp-ppd to get the Postscript Printer Description file for the
2200d. CUPS has a web-based configuration engine which listens on
localhost:631, and when you configure the printer, it includes the
double-sided option. I set up one printer to print normally, and
another printer with a different name which prints double-sided by
default. I don't know what you'd need to do to make it work under other
printing systems, but you will need the PPD from hp-ppd or and
equivalent. Some versions of lpr have been hacked to allow passing
additional Postscript options, which lets you set double-sided printing,
but I thought setting up the extra printer under CUPS was easier.
