I had this. I manually edited a PPD file I think. Somewhere there is an
entry for the printer that links selectable options to command codes. In
my case although the printer announced itself as duplex and accepted the
command, the entry for simplex and duplex was the same.

Ok. Ive had a look, and on this particular printer (Ricoh 3800) teher is
a file in /etc/cups/ppd that contains this

*OpenUI *Duplex/Double-Sided Printing: PickOne
*FoomaticRIPOption Duplex: enum CmdLine A
*OrderDependency: 120 AnySetup *Duplex
*DefaultDuplex: None
*Duplex DuplexNoTumble/Long Edge (Standard): "%%
FoomaticRIPOptionSetting: Duplex=DuplexNoTumble"
*FoomaticRIPOptionSetting Duplex=DuplexNoTumble: " -dDuplex=true -dTum&&
ble=false"
*End
*Duplex DuplexTumble/Short Edge (Flip): "%% FoomaticRIPOptionSetting:
Duplex=DuplexTumble"
*FoomaticRIPOptionSetting Duplex=DuplexTumble: " -dDuplex=true -dTumbl&&
e=true"
*End
*Duplex None/Off: "%% FoomaticRIPOptionSetting: Duplex=None"
*FoomaticRIPOptionSetting Duplex=None: " -dDuplex=false"
*CloseUI: *Duplex

ISTR that I have edited this section...to make it work

I dont think they are commands for ghostcript..I think they are commands
to apply to lp.
