I believe I'm experiencing the same/related issue. With Ubuntu10.04 and hplip-3.10.9, gedit does not allow duplex printing. However, I *am* able to duplex print from Firefox. I tried to specify the hpijs driver as described above (#27) but only the hpcups driver was listed.

Not sure if this matters ... I also have installed cups-pdf.

hp-check -r output:

Note: hp-check can be run in three modes:
1. Compile-time check mode (-c or --compile): Use this mode before compiling the
HPLIP supplied tarball (.tar.gz or .run) to determine if the proper dependencies
are installed to successfully compile HPLIP.
2. Run-time check mode (-r or --run): Use this mode to determine if a distro
supplied package (.deb, .rpm, etc) or an already built HPLIP supplied tarball
has the proper dependencies installed to successfully run.
3. Both compile- and run-time check mode (-b or --both) (Default): This mode
will check both of the above cases (both compile- and run-time dependencies).
