As set from Administration/Set Default options on the Printers page of
localhost:631, we suppose.
It is tempting to think that
lp -o BRDuplex=DuplexNoTumble <file>
or
lp <file>
gives double-sided printing.

We are. It is interesting that CUPS always displays "sides=one-sided" on
the "Defaults:" line even when setting the default options and altering
the PPD file as shown by lpoptions.
The duplex section of the PPD has
*%=== BRDuplex ================================
*OpenUI *BRDuplex/Two-Sided: PickOne
*OrderDependency: 25 AnySetup *BRDuplex
*BRDefaultDuplex: None
*BRDuplex DuplexTumble/Short-Edge Binding: " "
*BRDuplex DuplexNoTumble/Long-Edge Binding: " "
*BRDuplex None/Off: " "
*CloseUI: *BRDuplex
When all instances of "BR" are removed and CUPS restarted the options
for Two-sided in Page Setup become available in evince and iceweasel.
Only you can test whether this leads to the desired printing outcome,
