My first questions would be what kind of printer are you using, and how is it connected? This will effect the kinds of solutions available to you.

bigmacbear had a great idea, but I wasn't able to find any software to convert svg to postscript. Based on what I read, converting SVG to PS is problematic because of issues like transparency. And if Ted doesn't have a postscript capable printer, the postscript solution won't work.

You could try converting the SVG to PDF using something like Altsoft XML2PDF, a $49 utility with a command line processor to make a pdf. Then you can use a system call to Acrobat to print the file.

You can solve the duplexing issue by creating another instance of your printer with the default set to duplex. When you print, make sure you are printing to this special instance of the printer, and your job will be duplexed.

Gotta run to hang out with the kids a little bit. If I can provide more info later, I will

Quick Update: You can check out this page PlanetPDF to see the command line options for printing from Acrobat.
