HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M477fdw
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello everyone,

I am having an issue where my  MFP M477fdw will not autoduplex  it only has manual. 

I have verified it is set to installed and have tried all the latest drivers with no luck. I know that this printer is able to duplex correctly because if i print a config sheet from the unit it autoduplexes correctly. 

Is there a setting i am missing ?  or is this a driver issue with windows 10 ?  WIndows 7 pc's work correctly as well.

 

Thanks

Which driver are you using? Can you post a screenshot from the About Tab from the printer properties Window? Quite often if a Microsoft IPP driver has replaced the correct HP driver (happens a lot) you will lose functions.

I notice that your default paper type is set to unspecified. That can prevent functions as the driver will ignore settings if it cannot be sure that the paper will not damage the printer.
