Printing problem in the Unix

How do you print a batch of pdf files on solaris 8/9 to a post script printer(HPLaser 4350).so that printing is as both sides of the paper.We have tried to print using XPDF pdftops program but we are able to print only as one side. The switch -o duplex does not seem to work when used with lp command.(We have tries ghost script also) .Another related problem is to set the paper size to A4 and print using Tray 2.(leed:hpijp could be useful)
