How to print duplex with Reports 2.5 on UNIX

SCO UNIX v5.0.2
Oracle Reports v2.5.5

We've created a bunch of bitmap reports that print just fine one side per page on our HP LaserJet 5 printers. The reports have been specified as PostScript output. I would like to know how to get them to print duplex. There's no option in the report designer to specify this. Did I miss something in the list of command line options for r25run?

Printing a report to a file and then issuing "lp -odouble filename" (where
-odouble is the option that can print other files such as ordinary text
files duplex) does not work. It still prints them one side per page. I'm assuming that when the HP LaserJet starts receiving the PostScript file it does some sort of reset that kills the effect of the -odouble line option. Anyone got this to work on their UNIX box?
