Could you add the following options to "Two-sided": "Off", "Automatic", and "Manual". The "Automatic" option could be removed, if the printer does not support automatic two sided printing.

Maybe gnome-manual-duplex could be integrated into Ubuntu, or it could be added to the Ubuntu repository and a user could be prompted to install it, if the user selects manual two sided.
