[cups] Printing 2 copies on a double sided printer

[Bouslama Karim]

Ho robert,

I have a Canon i-sensys lbp 3010. It is detected by Ubuntu 18.04 but does
not work. I tried everything till I had no more ideas. Please help!

Is there an easy way which does not involve typing dozens of commands in
the CLI to get this machine running? Or should I just get back to windows
where it works fine by double booting.
