Duplex printing can be setup for an individual document in the Document Properties Panel on the Advanced tab. This parameter is not currently available to JavaScript, although it could be set with a plug-in.

For JavaScript, duplex printing can only be controled for booklet printing. I haven't checked this out, but it seems that you might be able to setup a minimal 1 page per side booklet, basically just to control duplex mode.

Can you provide me update on what plug-in you are referring here?
