Yes, please!
I'm willing to help.
My first try was to put an  #if 0 around the /setpagedevice :
--- psutils.SAVE/psspec.c       1997-03-11 23:53:04.000000000 +0100

    "/setpagedevice {pop}bind 1 index where{dup wcheck{3 1 roll put}",

    "/PStoPSxform matrix def/PStoPSclip{clippath}def",
    "/defaultmatrix{PStoPSmatrix exch PStoPSxform exch concatmatrix}bind def",

Now, it prints duplex but it looses the /Tumble option.
I'll have to install tea4cups to have a look at what is sent to the
printer.

I need the psutils primarily to produce booklets of quick references.
Probably I'll have to put in PJL commands and send it to printer via
ftp.
