as in you printed duplex before? if so, i would consider contacting developers
directly to see what they say. it is possible that newer drivers may not have
been checked in duplex mode.

a quick check would be to take some text into a simple editor like kwrite.
build it with copy - paste to be long enough to have 350 lines or so, which
should be long enough to fill 4 pages, and print it.

good luck on that one. it will most likely be loaded with ms and mac users,
which i would imagine that hp has insured that their drivers work correct.

personally, i do not believe i would have considered a printer that physically
rotated paper to print duplex. doing so in software would be a better bet as
it is less to break hardware wise.

what happens if you want to print duplex with 'legal size', 8.5" x 14" [what
ever that equates in metric] paper? does it rotate it also, or does it do it
in software. or is 'legal size' what you are trying to print on?



peace out.
