Thanks Till,
The fix did not work on the Ricoh Aficio 2060 (PPDs from Ubuntu's openprinting-ppds-extra package) or the Brother HL4050CDN (Foomatic/Postscript). Also I lost graphics on a trial pdf. So I reverted back to the original script. The other drivers from open printing repository either refused to print or were no better.
The Brother HL4050CDN CUPS/LPR driver downloaded from Brother works flawlessly.

For your information I am in Japan and the Ricoh printer models have different names. For example the 2060 is a Neo 602. However they all worked in Hardy so this shouldn't be the problem.

Some good news, with the ubuntu MPC-3000 postscript driver and the duplexing works but it freezes the printer on random jobs (as does the 2060).

I am unsure why you suspect the pdftops script as duplexing is broken with all documents (open office, firefox, thunderbird, etc) not just PDF files.

Sorry for the confused story but I really don't know what's up. I feel that the printer freezing on random jobs and the inability to duplex since the upgrade to Intrepid (also the same on a fresh install) are somehow related. But I have been wrong in the past :).
