Great, then you can put the code in as the first line before concatenation
takes place. Try this for simplex:
statusdict /setduplexmode known {
statusdict begin false setduplexmode end
} if
and this:
statusdict /setduplexmode known {
statusdict begin true setduplexmode end
} if
for duplex -- after the top line containing "%!" .

Suppose your printer's default is duplex.

These are language extensions organized into groups called languagelevels.
Each level encompasses all features of the previous level as well as new
features. Which level u can use depends on the interpreter aboard the
printing device. An interpreter claiming to support a given level must
implement all features defined in that languagelevel an lower.
AFAIK level 3 is the last one.

Okay, good luck.
