Konqueror works (using just the same print dialog as Okular).

LibreOffice works and shows the option as "Duplex" in its print settings
dialog.

lpr on the command line works, using the "-o Duplex" setting:

* lpr -PDCP-7065DN -o media=A4 -o Duplex=None -o page-ranges=1-2 "$PSFILE"
  This line prints one-sided, as expected.

* lpr -PDCP-7065DN -o media=A4 -o Duplex=DuplexNoTumble -o page-ranges=1-2
"$PSFILE"
  This line prints duplex / double-sided, as expected.

Chromium works and labels the option als "beidseitig" in its print page (no
separate dialog). It also directly updates the print summary line (where it
states how many pages will be printed in which mode) to reflect the setting.

Firefox works, here the setting is in the tab "Seite einrichten" in the print
dialog. The setting is called "Beidseitig", and available options are called
"Langer Rand (Vorgabe)", "Kurzer Rand (Umdrehen)" and "Einseitig", so it's
fully translated.



Basically, I do not know about any other software than Okular which does NOT
work.
