Symptom:
Hardware accounting seems to be incorrect when you print in
Duplex mode.
Problem:
The printers' internal page counters doesn't really count the
sheets of paper, nor their sides, but instead the number of times
a particular sheet passes through the paper path.

This means that if you print an odd number of pages in Duplex
mode, the last sheet will be counted as 2 pages anyway, despite
the last page being blank.
Solution:
A more complete explanation is available there :

As explained there, it seems that some recent printers handle
this correctly already.

In the future, PyKota will detect duplex printing and will
workaround the problem.
