Thanks for that hint (and as well for the hint from Michael concerning
cupsfilter); in my case the the option was: -o KMDuplex=2Sided.

This is for text files to be printed to a Postscript printer. I still have
to investigate how this could work with PCL files, to be printed with
option -o raw normally...
