It seems to me that there are three possible layers - cups, the kde printer 
dialogue, and okular, evince or other viewer.  Since the outcome is the same 
from okular and evince I think the last possibility can be ignored.

If it were cups I'd expect it to simply not recognise or manipulate the 
duplexer, though of course I could be wrong.  Also, cups has managed this 
printer well enough in the past - though again, versions differences have to 
be considered.

That leaves for the main suspect the new printer dialogue - or, some deeper 
level at which data is fed to the printer.  Either way, I'm not a happy bunny 
at this moment.

Tomorrow, when I have more time, I think I'll try the HP chat line and see 
whether they have any evidence one way or another.
