Duplex printing problem

Hello everyone,
A few years ago I created a printer definition under Tru64 4.0D to print
text files in duplex mode. The excerpt from the /etc/printcap file is:
# Entries for duplex printing hplaserjet4si
lp2|2|duplex:\
        :ct=tcp:\
        :if=/usr/lbin/hplaserof +duplex.pcf:\
        :lf=/usr/adm/lp2err:\
        :lp=_at_stalj4mx/stalj4mx:\
        :mx#0:\
        :of=/usr/lbin/hplaserof +duplex.pcf:\
        :pl#66:\
        :pw#80:\
        :sd=/usr/spool/lpd2:\
        :xf=/usr/lbin/xf:\
        :Si=2:

Under 4.0 the printer was accessed using this command: lpr -Pduplex file.lis

The queue isn't used often and was discovered a week or so ago to no longer
work. In January I upgraded to 4.0G and am wondering if that caused a
problem but I can't see what it is. Everytime we attempt to print to this
queue the document prints on one side only - no errors logged. The file
duplex.pcf does exist, in two directories:
/usr/lbin/pcf/duplex.pcf
/usr/lbin/duplex.pcf

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Shirley
