I'm using w10 enterprise full updated (10.0.16299), a P1102W laser printer attached via USB. If I try to print a document with front-back option, the message "re-insert the sheet..." no more appears, the printer stops with with red led blinking but i cannot press "c" to continue. I've tried to reinstall the latest hp driver with no result.
Can you help me?
Thanks,

Hy,
I try to be more accurate:
my P1102w has not a duplex unit, I had to reinsert the sheets after the first face was printed.
the driver displayed a pop-up window on the computer with instructions on how to reload the paper. Now I cannot see that pop-up window, even if the printer blinks red like it's waiting for me to click on "continue".
I made no important hw-sw changes before the trouble.
