Duplex printing, grey bars fpr text printg etc. do work here. I checked 
my settings in DCPS$STARTUP.COM again and found that I changed the 
DCPS$COLORLASER_PRODUCT_NAME definition and the port number compared to 
what I had written in
https://groups.google.com/g/comp.os.vms/c/d33o-PBctjo/m/YgQ2WdNAAgAJ.

So here are my current settings:

$ DEFINE /EXECUTIVE_MODE /SYSTEM DCPS$COLORLASER_PRODUCT_NAME -
"HP Color LaserJet CM6040 MFP"
$!
$  ON ERROR THEN CONTINUE
$  IF .NOT. SETUP_MODE THEN @SYS$STARTUP:DCPS$EXECUTION_QUEUE -
   COLORLASER -      ! P1 - Execution queue name
   AUTO=(RX2660,ZX2000)::"IP_LPD/brother-mfc-l3730cdn:515" - ! P2
   DCPS_LIB -      ! P3 - Logical name for library(ies)
   "" -      ! P4 - Default queue parameters
   "/SEPARATE=(NOBURST,NOTRAILER)" - ! P5 - Default queue qualifiers
   "" -        ! P6 - Communication speed (serial only)
   "" -        ! P7 - Device characteristics
   ""        ! P8 - Verify on/off

And I think the correct syntax for duplex printing is /para=(sides=2)
