I work primarily on Linux using the cups printer subsystem. Assuming I have the correct PPD file, then using cupsconfig, if the printer supports duplex printing, the option is always there to set it as the default. The same thing happens under Solaris IF you are using the OSS cups system which can be installed there, and ditto for HP-UX. (I haven't used the native Solaris or HP-UX printer configuration software in years because CUPS was easier, so I don't know if they support it or not.) I don't have much use for windows and I won't try to guess about windows printer configuration. OOPS Correction: I do use the HP hpwebjet software on two windows boxes that I administer (one win7, one XP), and it is supported there. Likewise I don't have access to a Mac and I don't know about printer installation/configuration/etc. there. So as I said - it's probably an O/S thing more than anything else.
