Carefully read that 'i' option section again. You'll see that it says to
give a paper tray number *and/or* simplex / duplex option. Options are
separated by comma. Maybe '-i 1, duplex' is what you need.

And make sure you have your printer config string setup with duplex.

I don't have duplex printing available so I'm unfortunately unable to test.
