Could you be a little more specific?  Is this a SIMULATION of 
a duotone or a real duotone?   

In duotone printing two inks are used, and the images are
printed with different screen angles.  How do you control any
of that with Photoshop?   Photoshop has no control over the
inks - only the printer's driver can do that.  Or are you
creating two output files and printing them via a halftone
screen through a separate product like a RIP?
