When I reopened the settings window, the duplex setting had reverted to single-sided.
I am currently unable to reproduce this issue, because now when I add the network printer in question the printing options page is blank, so I can't capture a journalctl of what happens when I try to change its duplex option. Why is the printing options page blank? Another bug. And then there's a third bug... After adding that new network printer I removed it, and the UI said it was removed, but then when I closed and reopened the printer settings page in control center, there it was, back again. Just in general, the printer settings page in control center has all sort of wrong behaviors like this. I've observed stuff like this many times in the past few years, too many to enumerate them all. My guess is that there's a whole bunch of code in this app that should be doing error checking but isn't. You can leave this bug marked "Incomplete" and do nothing, or you can, y'know, maybe actually have someone try to reproduce it or even maybe look at the code and try to find the places where it's not doing the error checking that it could be.

Open settings. 2. Go to Devices / Printers. 3. Click "Add..." and add a network printer with a duplex unit located automatically by the network scan. 4. Click the gear and elect "Printing Options". 5. Change the "Two-sided" option to enable two-sided printing. 6. Close the options dialog and settings window. 7. Print a document with multiple pages to that printer with "lp -d printer-name filename". 8. Observe how it prints single-sided. To get the setting to stick for real, I had to click on "Additional Printer Settings..." and change it there.
