Default HP printing on both sides in Vista

I have an HP Laserjet 1300 and for some reason my driver won't let me print
on bothsides manually like I used to do. The vista drivers on the HP site
have not worked for me. Does anyone have a fix?

Slippy finger but the following got posted to someone else, just next
to yours at the time -- hope it helps.

Under VISTA or previously say under XP?

The out of the box drivers in VISTA itself are often not fully*
featured.

What did you download from the HP website?

XP

hp LaserJet 1150/1300 printing system 3.0 11 Mar 2004 73.9MB*

If it was the PCL driver, try PCL5 instad of PCL6

If all else fails install the XP software package -- again clean up*
first and unplug the printer -- by right mouse clicking on the
filename*that starts the installation, selecting Properties /
Compatibility / XP*with SP2 and check the Run as Administrator box if
it is there and OK*your way out.

Good luck.

Did you try installing the XP package using compatibility mode?
