--- Comment #6 from dolgener at informatik.uni-erlangen.de ---
Yes, this was my first idea, too. 
However, as initially reported, when you print the SAME PDF document from a
non-KDE-Application, e.g. "evince 3.4.0 (using poppler/cairo 0.18.4)", it's
correctly printed one-sided!

Additional example and information: 
a) If I start "Calligra Words" (version 4.10.5, meanwhile) with a blank
document, write two paragraphs containig "Page 1" and "Page 2" respectively,
insert a page break between them, finally invoke Calligra Word's printing
dialog, choose the printer (HP4250), select "duplex: none", I directly get a
duplexed sheet, too. 
b) To make things even more interesting, choosing another printer (HP4700), the
same procedure ends up correctly with two one-sided pages.

Hence, I conclude 
1) there must be some kind of bug, not only in okular, but somwhere in KDE's
printing environment,
2) it's not locateable in user specific settings, as a new profile behaves the
same way (always duplexing)
3) it only appears with certain (maybe few?) printer models (or lets say PPD
files)
