I'm having the same problem with Ubuntu 8.10, but with an HP Photosmart
P1100 with a duplex attachment.  In the printer config,
(system->administration->printing), it quite nicely comes up with the
printer when I plug it into the USB port, even maintaining the duplex
setting I selected the first time I connected the printer (right-click &
select "properties" & choose "more" in the "Common Options" section of
"Job Options", it shows "Sides: To-sided (long edge)").  However, when I
print from Firefox, the print dialog's "Page Setup" tab shows "Two-
sided: Not available", and attempting to print duplex from the command
line, as in:

   lpr -o sides=two-sided-long-edge -o page-ranges=1-2 file.pdf

only prints single sided (even though it respects the page range &
properly processes the pdf file).
