after a recent emerge --sync and emerge --update world the portage tree pulled in a downgrade to 3.9.12 this ppd and driver seems to work well with cups with tweaking all be it(see bellow).
Now on the 3.9.12 version to print double sided for printing consisting of more than 10 or 20 pages(tested on a 300 page double sided print) it would not print with error messages from ghostscript

I was not able to put my finger on it only by chanced guess, what solved this problem which maybe you might know was developing a classes device.
I used cups web interface and made a classes device for my printer, then sent the 300 page document to the classes from Adobe PDF reader and it printed fine.
As for version 3.10.5 and its ppd file i am not sure would you like me to unmask and emerge and try it?
Is it in the latest portage tree for me to unmask?

Well I am glad this bug is still open.
