I have re-installed Windows 10; which wiped out my printer settings; so I've re-installed the printer (up to date software, wireless connection).
Every time I print (both from the PC where I reinstalled Windows 10 AND from another unchanged PC), I get "Paper too short to Auto-Duplex".
If I hit OK, the print works - printing both sides correctly.
What can I do to stop the warning box popping up all the time?
Things I've checked:
- I use A4 rather than Letter sized paper - but I've set that in the preferences;
- If I try and print on one side only; I still get the error;
Solved! Go to Solution.

SORTED!!
Typical: I had searched before, but after formulating the question, my searches for answers were better - and someone had the issue before and it had a solution.
Switch it off and on again!
OK, there was a tiny bit extra, leave it for 60 seconds before restarting.
This appears to have worked, I'll leave the question open for a day or so to check it continues to work.
