Dual-side printing on Officejet 7310 running SUSE 9.1 & CUPS

My home network consists of two identical Dell Dimension 4800 boxes, an HP
Officejet all-in-one 7310 printer, a D-Link router and a Motorola cable
modem. One Dell box runs only Windows XP home, while the second box is a
dual-boot Windows XP Home and SUSE 9.1 Linux. The printer works flawlessly
when running under Windows XP on both machines. Of the many HP printers I
have owned, the OJ 7310 is the first to satisfy my requirements. In my
opinion this one heck of a printer for home/small office use.

However, when running Linux, the printer will not print dual-sided. I am
using CUPS and have defined 2 print queues, 1 queue for single-sided
printing and a second for dual-sided printing.

The OJ 7310 replaced a OJ 6110, which had the dual-side modification and
functioned correctly for both single & dual-sided printing under CUPS.

From what I have found on the WEB it appears the PPD file I am using
supports double-sided printing under Linux/CUPS.

I am not experienced in Linux and feel there is probably some simple thing
I am overlooking in either the CUPS or printer setup, however I haven't
the remotest idea about where I should start looking to find the problem.

I would really appreciate any suggestions offered which will allow me to
find and correct my problem.

Thanks
