I've been consistently having the following problem at all the clusters
I visit:

To print double-sided on printer foo I type 
  lpr -Pfoo2 file.ps 

This works fine if the queue is empty or if the printer is already
printing duplex.

If the queue has single-sided jobs ahead of me, my job also prints
single-sided.  Is this a bug or a limitation?  What can I do besides
wait for the queue to (hopefully) empty so I can print duplex?

Thanks,
cvince
