Here is an error. No: there are two errors!

Dvips -P *can* print to a particular printer – in case there exists a  
file config.<printer queue name> that feeds the dvips output to that  
queue.


The printer's handbook or its PPD file should contain the PostScript  
code to switch to duplex. It can be put into a duplex config file.  
Dvips can load that. There is a dvips info file that explains it all.

If you cannot find documentation, then you need to use Printer  
Utility to switch the printer from single to duplex; and back. You  
can "snoop" the contents of the IP packets and have the code to  
switch and to switch back

There's no sense in being precise when you don't even know what  
you're talking about.
