[Samba] Can't print duplex

[Gareth Blades]

I have exactly the same problem with Samba 2.2.2 and a HP Laserjet 2200dn
using both PCL5e and PCL6 drivers. I managed to get duplex working on my
machine (I am a print admin) after adding/removing/rebooting a couple of
times but I cannot get it to work on other peoples machines.
