I don't recall saying that. I can duplex print if I use one of the foomatic
postscript drivers, but of the ones I have tried, everyone works, and then
crashes the printer so it has to be powerdown reset to retre it for the next
job.
May I remind everyone that the cups "test page" is ONE page, and therefore
cannot, will not, exercise the duplex functions. A 2 page test page would be
handier than bottled beer for troubleshooting this, but we don't have one
