Officejet 4655
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

My officejet 4655 will not print duplex automatically. This worked for over two years now suddenly it goes into manual duplex only.  I have reinstalled the software and updated the drive to the most recent one on  the HP website.  It still will only print in manual duplex.

I actually did that and it kept reverting to manual.  However after doing that reinstalling the update drivers and rebooting it then started printing automatic duplex.  I believe the trick was to reboot win 10 after all the fixes.
