[Bug 70576] Duplex printing permanently disabled in edgy

Public bug reported:

I print to a printer which is attached to a windows machine on the LAN.
When I hit print in evince, the "Two-sided" drop-down in the "Page
Layout" tab has a single entry, "One sided". This means that I am unable
to print double-sided from evince.

However, if I click System -> Administration -> Printing, right-click
the printer and click Properties, then I am able to select "Flip on long
edge (standard)" in the "Double Sided" drop-down in the "Paper" tab.

(Incidentally, there is a pause of about 30 seconds between clicking on
Properties and the printer properties dialog appearing. This didn't
happen in Dapper, and may or may not be connected.)

There should be an option to print double-sided in the "Page Layout" tab
in evince.

If I print a postscript file from the command line with lpr, then I do
get double-sided output.

** Affects: evince (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Unconfirmed
