Thanks for your reply. In the meantime I have been experimenting with the
bug, and I fixed it myself---I'm curious to see whether the upgrades you
point to will also fix the problem, and I will let you know.
At any rate, calling my printer 'cp', I compared the two cp.ppd's generated
one by Ubuntu 8.04 and the other by Ubuntu 8.10. Using the old one on the new
system fixed the "loss of double-sided printing" problem. After some
block-by-block and line-by-line replacements of old by new, it seems that the
only offending line in the new .ppd is in the header block (line 12 of actual
code), namely,
in the 8.10 vintage .cpp is enough to fix the problem (whatever the reason).
Thanks for your assistance, and best to everybody on launchpad.

*cupsFilter: "application/ vnd.cups- pdf 0 foomatic-rip"
Commenting out this line, as in
*%cupsFilter: "application/ vnd.cups- pdf 0 foomatic-rip"
in the 8.10 vintage .cpp is enough to fix the problem (whatever the reason).
Thanks for your assistance, and best to everybody on launchpad.
