Indeed, the PDF test file prints OK from within Evince (single-sided); but printing
it directly with "lpr test.pdf" or "lp test.pdf" prints it in double-sided mode.
Just redirecting a directory listing with "ls | lp" prints properly single-sided.

I also fiddled a bit with /etc/cups/cupsd.conf to check the printer configuration
via http://localhost:631 -- everything appeared right as I had set it via the Gnome 
Administration/Printing menu (see my original posting), except that paper size had 
reverted back to "Letter". I changed this back to "A4", then ran off a test page, 
which was the standard CUPS test page, and it printed correctly.

So the puzzle remains: (1) Why does the Ubuntu test page shift upwards by 1-inch,
though properly in single-sided mode?(2) Why does printing a PDF file (just the 
regular kind of file that I produce daily with pdfLaTex) via "lp" or "lpr" put the
printer in double-sided mode? I don't consider the "Letter/A4" issue a problem, as
it didn't affect page layout, anyway it may be that "Configuring printer" doesn't 
copy existing configuration details 100% accurately.
