Thanx for all the responces.

Basically there are 2 ways:

1. Use -o option with lp command (not available with enscript).

sun% lp -d <printername> -o duplex <file>

2. Setup a duplex print queue.

- Use admintool/solstice and add alias to existing printer ip name.
        xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx pr1 pr1_dp

- Create new queue with jetadmin.
        - add print spooler (pr1_dp)
        - use 4si script (net_lj4x)

- Use admintool-"Print Manager" to change Printer Port.
        - Change Printer Port: /dev/pr1_dp --> /dev/pr1

- Edit print script to "always" duplex when printing.
        - Edit /etc/lp/interfaces/model.orig/pr1_dp
          Change options=$5 to options=duplex

- Try it now.

sun% lp -d pr1_dp <longfile>

Thanx to the following for leading me in the right direction:
