LaserJet 2200
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I recently updated the driver for my trusted HP LaserJet printer 2200 to HP Universal Printing PCL 6 v6.6.5. I am not able to activate duplex printing with this driver. I tried to set the Duplex "Install" option but the software reverts back to "Not Installed", Is there another setting that I need to activate?

Duplex printing works without a problem using the HP LaserJet 2200 Series PCL 5 driver.

Thanks Awani. The HP LaserJet 2200 has no control panel. Duplex printing is normally activated with the printer software under "printer preferences" or "printer options". The UPD PCL6 (v6.6.5) print driver software has the option "Duplex printing":  "Not Installed". Ihave tried to change to "Installed" But it always reverts back to "Not Installed".   Finally I tried to use the print driver configuration utility (CFU). A lengthy process. Unfortunately it did not work. At the moment I am using the HP LaserJet 2200 PCL5 print driver which works fine. I would like to use the HP UPD PCL6 driver but so far no luck.
