Microsoft Windows 11

Hi everyone,

Not sure I am on the right board, but I need help.

Since the Windows 11 update yesterday, my printer is no longer offering me the possibility to print on both sides of a letter-sized page.

This is not happening with my Canon printer, so it's an HP problem.

I tried removing the printer and reinstalling but that didn't work.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
