Duplexing with Windows CUPS driver

Hi, all!

We're making a Web-based print accouting software with CUPS. Most of the print clients are Windows boxes.

As far as we have seen, a good approach is to use the Windows CUPS driver from http://cups.org/windows/index.php in the clients. However, the driver apparently does not provide some required functionalities (specially duplexing). That is a surprise to us, since it seems the driver PPD should provide a interface to use such functionality.

How could we "enable" such functionalities, specially duplexing, on the CUPS driver? Is there a way to do it without make the client send raw jobs directly to the printer (which would make our software useless)?

Thanks in advance!
