Upgraded to Windows 11. The driver won't let me print duplex (Windows 10 worked fine). Upgraded to the latest drivers (November 2021). Still didn't work. What can I do to print duplex?

Welcome to the HP Community.
Try using the "Offline" doctor - this version includes the usual "doctor" repair options, of course.
The "Offline" doctor is useful for correcting issues related to several less common issues, including the loss of duplex that won't respond to other attempts to repair.
===========================================================
Start here – Solutions presented in the order to be completed:
HP printer is offline or not responding
OR
Resource – Choose the right doctor for the job
Open Website
HP Print and Scan Doctor for Windows
Click the green Download Now option / box
Wait!
If the problem / issue is one or more of
- Printer is Offline
- Cannot print in Color
- Duplex printing has disappeared
Try this “Offline” Doctor version:
https://ftp.hp.com/pub/printers/hppsdr/patches/HPPSdr.exe
After the doctor runs, Restart the computer and log in.
Doctor will finish any necessary setups.
NOTES – The “Offline” doctor
As a result of repairing issues,
Offline / Color check / Duplex check version of the Doctor may replace the printer or add a “(Copy 1)” version of the driver in Devices and Printers.
If there are two printers in Devices and Printers,
If one of them does not work,
Try sending your job to the “Copy 1” named printer.
Later
If you want / need to rename the “Copy 1” printer:
Open Control Panel > icon view > Devices and Printers
Right-Click on the printer name > Printer Properties > Tab General >
In the top box, Edit the name of the printer (For example, remove the part that says “Copy 1”)
Click Apply / OK to save change
NOTE: The name change may take a bit of time (a few minutes), else Restart the computer and log in.
