Eh, duplexing is another basic document property, like paper size and 
orientation.  Granted, it's relatively likely to be overridden at 
the time of printing...

But by "settings" I was referring to things like ink density/droplet 
size, weave patterns, dither modes, individual color channel curves, and 
other minutae that matter for specialized photo/art printing on 
near-arbitrary media.  This tunability is where Gutenprint shines, even 
in comparison to official manufacturer drivers on $ProprietaryOS.

(And incidently, I do have a duplexing printer, a decade-plus-old 
 Brother HL-5340D.  Along with 31 others, though only 26 are plugged in 
 at the moment. Isn't driver development/regression testing fun?)
