Thanks for the log file.
The job options seem OK, and I get the same atributes with respect to  
duplexing
when printing to a (fake) printer with a duplexer installed  
(Duplex=DuplexTumble, or,
in IPP speech: sides=two-sided-short-edge), but with Adobe Reader 10.x.

These options seem OK for booklet printing, as the orientation of the  
booklet
pages (two logical pages per physical page) is rotated by 90 degrees.

My guess is that you printer implements the tumble attribute when duplex
printing different to what the PLRM specifies.
If you want to, I could send you two wimple PostScript test files for  
raw printing
to check how your printer implements the tumble handling.
