CUPS: duplex printing crops page (same results via lpr and system dialog)

Question

I've printed a PDF file one-sided as follows:

lpr -P Canon_MG5600_series -o sides=one-sided document.pdf

The result is as expected (see left side of the image bellow).

However, when trying to print the same file in duplex:

lpr -P Canon_MG5600_series -o sides=two-sided-long-edge document.pdf

The page gets cropped at the top (see right side of the image bellow).

Any ideas how to get it working properly?

EDIT1: Tried printing via system dialog with same results

It looks like you print a "Portrait" as "Landscape", try -o orientation-requested=3 , it is "portrait orientation (no rotation)". Ref.: cups.org/doc/options.html#OPTIONS — MatsK, Sep 18, 2018 at 14:33
@MatsK Thanks for the idea, but printing with -o orientation-requested=3 didn't change anything. I've tried printing even with system dialog, but the result is the same. — Adam, Sep 18, 2018 at 14:46

Apparently it was a driver-related issue. After installing official printer drivers from the manufacturer it started working.
