Printer_on_Anne-Linux is ready
no entries

'Printer' is correct.  The server name, though should be anne-linux, not 
Anne-Linux.  Is that significant, or just the way it is reported?  It's 
definitely lower case in cups/client.conf.

That works - and the duplex happens, so it's configuring correctly for 
the printer.

Attempting the same print from kwrite only gives me 'lp' as an option.  
If I select that I see

/usr/bin/lpr -P 'lp' '=#1'
/tmp/kde-anne/kdeprint_W6YWpOZz : execution failed with message:
lpr: error - unable to print file: client error not found
