I have fixed this by fixing the behavior of manual duplex. Usually, you
print the odd pages, then put them back into the input tray and print
the even pages. If the document has an odd number of pages, there is one
odd page more than even pages, meaning that when you printed the even
pages before, the last odd page stayed in the input tray. Now I let the
pdftopdf filter add a blank page when printing the even pages of a
document with an odd number of pages, this way pulling the last odd page
out of the input tray. This also has the side effect that the even page
set is never empty also with a document of only one page, preventing
this error. And automated processes (like GUIs) applying manual duplex,
work also with one-page documents.

The change is in cups-filters 1.0.55 which I have released today. It
will soon appear in Utopic.
