CUPS help?

[Mark Komarinski]

Make sure the PPD has duplexing defined.  I had a problem with this
years ago, and the printer I have now has a duplexer by default, so it's
not a problem.  I'm going to guess that duplexing is an option for your
particular printer.

Where to look in the PPD?  If my crusty memory is correct, you can search
on duplex in it and see if it's set to on or off (yes, no, si, non, whatever).
Toggle it and restart PPD.  Try again.
