Are you talking about the option to print all odd-numbered pages then
put the stack of paper back in and select all even-numbered pages for
printing? Or do you mean you have a printer that turns each page over
and prints both sides? What printer is it?

You probably lack a necessary package for cups. I had similar problems
in the past and remember solving it after being advised to install some
of these:
cupsys
cupsys-bsd
cupsys-client
foomatic-db
foomatic-db-engine
foomatic-db-hpijs
foomatic-filters
foomatic-gui
hpijs
libcupsimage2
libcupsys2-gnutls10
libusb-0.1-4
cupsys-driver-gimpprint
cupsomatic-ppd
foomatic-db-gimp-print
Obviously, you may not need all of the above, or this list (grabbed off
an archive from aug 2004) may be incomplete. Google a bit: I'm sure
you'll be happy once you get cups going.
