Sorry, I "bzr pull"ed, did a "make" and the problem was still there, now
I did a "make distclean" and rebuilt everything and the problem went
away. Tobias, your fix fixed this bug, too. Thank you very much.

Sanjay, Ani, please test with the current BZR snapshot of cups-filters.
This should solve the problem.

** Description changed:

  CORRECTION: The observations below are not correct. After exchanging
  e-mail with Sanjay Kumar from HP I found out the following:
  
  cupsfilter -m application/vnd.cups-pdf -p
  /etc/cups/ppd/Officejet_Pro_8600.ppd -o PageSize=A4.Duplex –o fitplot -o
  Duplex=DuplexNoTumble /home/hptest/Desktop/A4test_2pages.pdf > out.pdf
  
- gives an extra page and (removing "-o fitplot"
+ gives an extra page and (removing "-o fitplot")
  
  cupsfilter -m application/vnd.cups-pdf -p
  /etc/cups/ppd/Officejet_Pro_8600.ppd -o PageSize=A4.Duplex -o
  Duplex=DuplexNoTumble /home/hptest/Desktop/A4test_2pages.pdf > out.pdf
  
  gives no extra page.
  
  So the bug is in pdftopdf and not in Ghostscript. As there is no version
  of pdftopdf which uses Ghostscript, changing Ghjostscript does not
  change anything and this bug is not a Ghostscript bug. Moving to cups-
  filters.
  
  Original report:
  
  This bug is happening on:
  Ubuntu : 12.10
  GhostScript version : 9.06
  
  How to Reproduce:
  1.    Configure any HP Officejet Device which supports duplex printing on 
Ubuntu 12.10 OS
  2.    Perform a duplex job from hplip toolbox, Document Viewer or LibreOffice 
Application with ‘scale to fit’ option selected.
  3.    Observed that device is taking additional blank paper
  Investigation Details:
  I have run ‘cupsfilter -m application/vnd.cups-pdf -p 
/etc/cups/ppd/Officejet_Pro_8600.ppd -o PageSize=A4Duplex –o fitplot -o 
Duplex=DuplexNoTumble /home/hptest/Desktop/A4test_2pages.pdf > out.pdf ’ to 
check pdftopdf filter output and is perfect.
  
  Then I have run ‘cupsfilter -m application/vnd.cups-raster -p
  /etc/cups/ppd/Officejet_Pro_8600.ppd -o PageSize=A4Duplex –o fitplot -o
  Duplex=DuplexNoTumble /home/hptest/Desktop/A4test_2pages.pdf >
  out.raster ’ to see whether the Cups Raster which is fed in to hpcups is
  OK. I checked it with ‘rasterview’
  (http://www.easysw.com/~mike/rasterview/index.html) and one extra blank
  page is created here.
  
  Additional Information:
  1.    This bug does not happen with any other distros than Ubuntu 12.10 64bit 
and 32bit Oss
  2.    This defect does not occurs if ‘fitplot’ option is not passed
  3.    Tried downgrading the ghostscript version to 8.71 and found pdftopdf 
filter itself adds one extra blank page to the output.
  
  Thanks and Regards
  Ani Balakrishnan
