I just got a 2200d (I think probably between your posts, actually), and I have gotten the double-sided printing working. I've tried a bunch of different configurations and CUPS was the easiest to make work. Install cupsys, cupsys-bsd (or cupsys-client, or both) and hp-ppd; you need hp-ppd to get the Postscript Printer Description file for the 2200d. CUPS has a web-based configuration engine which listens on localhost:631, and when you configure the printer, it includes the double-sided option. I set up one printer to print normally, and another printer with a different name which prints double-sided by default. I don't know what you'd need to do to make it work under other printing systems, but you will need the PPD from hp-ppd or and equivalent. Some versions of lpr have been hacked to allow passing additional Postscript options, which lets you set double-sided printing, but I thought setting up the extra printer under CUPS was easier.
