printing both sides of the paper.

Running Win7 64bit with a Photosmart C6280 All-in-One, connected via USB to the pc.

This printer worked OK initially then the  problem appeared suddenly some months ago, when I later had time I reloaded the driver but the problem was still there. 

when I try to set the printer up for Two_Sided printing There is no option in the software to set it to do this automatically. Printer has Automatic Two-Sided printing Module but it will not print Two-sided automatically, (As it used to do) it will only print Two-side's manually, i.e. when the printer has printed page one it posts a notice to take the printed sheet turn it round and reload it back into the paper tray.  Everything is printed OK but no matter what I do or what Driver I load (currently running PS_A10_02_NETWIRED_FULL_WIN_WW130_140.EXE)  it waits for the sheet to be turned manually and clicked to continue, it then continues to print the second page correctly! When I use the HP Diagnostic it doesn't find any problems as it doesn't test the Two-Sided printing.

Any ideas where or what is stopping the automatic printing on both sides?

Check the Device Settings under the C6280 Properties for the duplex option.
