Make sure that you have the correct driver installed. Windows often replaces the HP driver with a generic Microsoft IPP driver which often fails to support advanced features like duplex. If you do have a HP driver installed it is possible that the driver failed to detect the duplex capability of the printer. In that case you need to go to control panel>devices and printers. Right click on the icon for your printer and select printer properties. Click on the device settings tab and and scroll down until you see duplex unit and change it to installed.

I have a Mac so not sure if the driver is working ? I did finally get to change settings after scanning a doc and hit print and it let me choose if I wanted to use last setting or two side print short or long.
