Hello,
I have "two-sided" printing option in some cases like printing a web page but not others like pdf and Microsoft Office Word. I only get the "Print on both sides (manually)" option. I have Duplex ON under Paper Setup.
Any suggestions?
Thank you

Hi,
Enter Control Panel > Devices and Printers.
Right click the printer icon, then click Printer Properties.
Click the Device Settings tab.
Set the Automatic Two-Sided Duplex Accessory as installed and click OK to save the change.
Now Automatic Duplexing should become available again.

Hello,
Thank you for your help. I just saw it. The Device Settings are all greyed out; "Update now", "Tray 3 Not installed", Duplex Unit Not Installed", Job Storage Disable", and Mopier Mode Disable". All greyed out. I cannot select anything.
Please let me know what to do.
Thanks again
