OK, I looked.. do a google search to see if you can find the
driver for this printer.  the ppd

grab a copy of the cups DDK tools.  It can massage the windoz ppd.
Then when you are satisfied that you can build a proper ppd for linux
buy it.

fyi, my printer is a GCC and I got a bunch of errors trying to convert it for 
use with linux.  I just deleted the offending lines and let it rip.
while my printer does have the duplex feature installed, the ppd I have
supports it.  I may be simplifying this, tho.  My printer has a http interface
that allows me to massage all its options that way in addition to  supporting
the ppd options via cups parms.

gud luck
