Maybe; I am using woody. I used the web interface to enable it, but that doesn't appear to work with the cups in potato. However, I did check the configuration with and without the double-sided printing, and it appears that the only difference in the configuration is a single line in the PPD, so maybe you can change that and have it work. In /etc/cups/ppd/your_printer_name_here.ppd, there is a section named "Duplex", and in there, there is a line which reads "*DefaultDuplex: None" (in mine, it is line 1254; if you also got yours from hp-ppd from woody, it is probably be the same). Change that line to read "*DefaultDuplex: DuplexNoTumble" and it should then do double-sided printing. The version of cups in woody allows the printers to be configured via a web interface (on http://localhost:631/), and after a printer is defined, it can be configured, which includes in the general options, a setting for duplex printing, which can be set to None, Flip on Long Edge, or Flip on Short Edge (you can see these options if you open the .ppd file in a text editor and search for "Duplex"). I also found that I needed to set the default paper tray to tray #2 instead of the inane default of tray #1 (manual feed), but you may have already discovered that. Also, for convenience, I'm sending you a copy of that file, but separately, so as not to clutter the list with unnecessarily large attachments.
