I could use:

tiffsplit my.tiff [prefix]  to get files like prefixaaa.tiff, 
prefixaab.tiff...

Now I could print all tiffs with:

lp prefix*.tiff

So far, so good. My printer is duplex printer (PCL 6, not PS) so to use 
duplex I should instead of several files have one file if I want to use 
duplex support.
Printer is not PS printer, so I should use pdf format. In process of 
converting tiffs to pdf I loose shrink to fit option that I have in printer 
driver for printing single page tiffs.

What options do I have?
