[SOLVED] hplip: no duplex from command line or firefox

My printer is a new HP LaserJet Pro MFP M227fdn, installed with hplip / hp-setup. I also use cups, where I have made duplex printing the default.

Problem: Duplex printing does not work when attempted from the command line or from Firefox. What happens when trying to print a 2-page pdf two-sided is that the first page of the file is printed on the front of page 1, the page is pulled back in by the duplex mechanism, then it comes out again with an empty back; then page 2 of the file is printed on the front of page 2, the page is pulled back in by the duplex mechanism, and comes out. 

Curiously and encouragingly, duplex printing the same file from within Libreoffice works!

Here are, for comparison, the relevant parts in /var/log/cups/error_log. First, from the command line, with
pdftk a.pdf cat 1 2 output - | lp -o sides=two-sided-long-edge, which does not yield duplex printing.
