I bought an OfficeJet 8135e. It was printing on both sides of the sheet. But now it's telling me I have to do it manually. What should I do to start duplex printing again? I'm using HP paper. I also have HP Slim Desktop PC.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Common cause I run into is that Windows has replaced your HP driver with a Microsoft IPP driver.
Go control panel, right click on device and printers and select open from the drop down menu. Right click on the icon for your printer and select open from the drop down menu. Click on the advanced tab and it will show what driver is installed. If it is an IPP driver delete and reinstall. If it shows as an HP driver, click on the device settings tab, scroll down till you see "duplex unit" and make sure it is set as "installed"

Glad it worked out. Some functions in Windows are just easier to deal with using older methods. Or I am too lazy to learn the new way. Results are what counts.
