I have now installed HPLIP 3.14.3. This has solved most of my problems (see bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1276801), and my printer now behaves as described in this bug.

However, it should not be an actual constraint on whether duplexing can be enabled. The reason is that it can never be clear to the user why they cannot select a duplexing option. Their page size setting is correct (e.g. A4), and the installable options setting says that a duplexer is installed. There is no way to discover the "magic" page sizes. Also there is no way for CUPS to know to set this magic page size as the default when adding a queue. It will look for "A4" or "Letter" depending on the locale.
