Same problem on Ubuntu 14.04 with a hp_photosmart_5520 and LibreOffice :
duplex printing work fine with evince but has zero effect in
LibreOffice. When I configure it in the OO.o's printing box (A4duplex,
two-sided long-edge....) and click OK, these parameters are immediatly
forgotten.

Title:
  Printing duplex does not work

Status in evince package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: evince

  Hi,
  I have a HP OfficeJet 8000 with duplex unit. I could easily set up the printer and the normal operations work without problems. However, I can not use the duplex mode within Evince and OpenOffice. The Print dialog gives me not the opportunity to activate duplex, even though I set it up in the printer settings.

  The following steps were made:
  - Printer connected via Ethernet
  - Add the printer under System-> Administration-> Printing
  - In the same program I have set the following three settings:
  - Under "Installable Options" I set "Duplexer Installed" enabled
  - Under "Printer Options" I set "Media Size" to "A4 Auto Duplex"
  - Under "Printer Options" I can configure "Double-sides printing" example "Long edge"
  - A PDF is opened with Evince
  - Starting printing with STR + P
  - In "Page Setup" I can only select "One Sided" within the option "Two-sided"
  - Open Office has been opened
  - In the OOo printer dialog I can set duplex mode only to "off"

  Here is a screenshot of the situation. On the left side the printer
  configuration, on the right the Evince printing dialog.

  
  When I use the HPLIP Toolbox (package 'hp-gui') for printing, then the duplex mode works without any problems. The same with the Adobe Reader. Is there a way I can print on both sides with the gnome standard programs?


  Greetings
