First, my printer is configured to print on both sides of the paper. It does not do so now.
What is "my printer"? See http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:How_to_Report_a_Printing_Issue Whether or not it prints duplex usually depends on the driver. I cannot imagine how a change of the base printing system changes what the driver does. Is it perhaps that the duplex setting in your case is still stored in the old ~/.cupsrc or ~/.lpoptions files? Since CUPS 1.5 the ~/.cups/client.conf and ~/.cups/lpoptions files that were introduced in CUPS 1.2 must now be used. In general regarding "Print Settings with CUPS" see http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Print_Settings_with_CUPS at which places you may check where exactly the duplex setting is stored in your particular case.
When trying to look at the printer's config via https://localhost:631, I can click on the printer and see the printer page ... But whatever action I chose in any of the select boxes, nothing happened.
For me it works (i.e. I cannot reproduce it). But there have always been reports that in this or that particular case there are issues with the CUPS web interface. In some cases the root cause was that an old /etc/cups/cupsd.conf file with an outdated "DocumentRoot" entry from an old CUPS installation is still there. The DocumentRoot directive specifies the location of web content for the HTTP server in CUPS. This location has changed a few times in the past and by default there should be no "DocumentRoot" entry in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf which means that the currently running cupsd uses its built-in value which is set during compile time to "the currently right location".
