So the "sides=3Done-sided" (IPP option) specifies a single-sided print =
while "Duplex=3DDuplexNoTumble" (PPD option) specifies a two-sided long =
edge print.

CUPS itself will give priority to the PPD option but I'm not sure what =
the backend will do with it (and I'm not familiar with the =
'implicitclass' backend, it isn't a standard part of CUPS.
