Important note, especially for the upstream developers: The Ubuntu package upload is not really a fix for this problem, it only reverts the user's print queues to the old HPIJS driver which still does not use different paper sizes for onne-sided and double-sided printing. This should cause duplex printing to just work for all Ubuntu users.

To the upstream developers of HPLIP: For making hpcups the default driver in Karmic there must be an easier way for the users to set up duplex (see this bug) and the back sides need to get correctly positioned (bug 426826). If you can provide a patch for these two issues before Final Freeze for Karmic (October 15) I can make hpcups be the default.
