I nice printer, just looked up the specs (I also have a Kyocera).

Yours has PCL 6 (PCL 5c/PCL-XL), Postscript 3 (KPDL 3)

KPDL is Kyocera version of Postscript (to save on the rather high licence 
fees)

Hmm not sure what going on here, sounds like a conflict of instructions to 
the printer maybe.

In the printer driver have you set Double sided printing on the RISC OS 
side.

Actually looking at !PDF print configuration (which I admit is somewhat 
poor)  to the right of the option to double sided printing, is a SETUP 
button and within that is a turn the paper over option, plus landscape 
options which you might need to use. You could try that.
