First, navigate to Settings -> Devices -> Printers and see that your printer is added. If not click the add button and select appropriate driver (select it manually, don't use the default driver).

Once printer is showing up in above dialog, click the printer to select and then click the "Aditional Printer Settings Button".

You will be presented with a small dialog box titled "Printers - localhost" you then select your printer and under the "Printer" menu click "Properties". You will get yet another dialog that will give you your configuration options for your printer.

The option to set up double sided is under "Printer Options":
