Drive Update

[Willie1953]

Are there any drivers to update my HP Color Laser Jet Pro M281fdw? Since I installed a new HP PC with Windows 11, my printer now will not print double sided automatically.

Hello @Willie1953 ,
Welcome to the HP Support Community!

A) Printer settings Duplexer:
Search Windows for 'devices', and then click the Devices and Printers control panel setting in the results.

Right-click the icon for your printer model, and then
click Device Settings tab
Installable Options > Duplexer: installed

If not, change to installed.

B) Automatic Two-Sided Duplex Accessory:

Enter the 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.

If the Options > Duplexer or Duplex Accessory is not displayed, then download only HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M281fdw/M281cdw Printer Full Software Solution
