This bug is rather messy. First it looked like a problem with specific printer, and in the end from Comment 26 it looks like a LO printing enhancement request. Generally, duplex printing works fine, via Printer Properties ("Eigenschaften").

This should then either be renamed to "Add duplex option to Print dialog (summary in Comment 26)" or closed so that new bug can be open with simple explanation.
Then, it's Importance should be marked as "enhancement" and Component set to "UX".
In my opinion, putting duplex option to Page layout tab of Print dialog is the same, one click away, as having it as it is now, in Printer Properties.
There might be some improvement if there duplex option were in the main Print dialog, but imagine how long it will take to implement this, if it took 2+ to clarify what this is about at all.

One issue still unclear to me is what Hans wrote and attached a picture that OO 3.3 had the option in the printer dialogue to set the printer to duplex. All that is OS and version specific so there had to be more details. In Windows, OO 3.3 never had such an option.
