I don't have to tell you anything. I'm offering a suggestion based upon
my newly discovered issue with Ubuntu 12.04 & an Epson Workforce 635. If
you are going to get snotty about it, then you can PO... I've better
things to do with my time.

. Printing from LO now that I've resolved my issue:
File|Print|General|click printer|click 'Properties'|Paper:Duplex:On'
works for me. Previously all options to select Two-Sided/Duplex were
greyed out. YMMV with your printer.

That wasn't clear to me in the OP.

And that is the driver you select in your print setup? (it's a basic
question as some click the first/only driver and don't bother to check
to see if they are actually selecting the individually installed driver
- or select the gutenprint etc. Anyway it's worth a double check).
