double sided printing with HP 5652 ??

[Jeff H]

I just bought the brand new HP 5652 deskjet printer.
It comes with a thing which is attached to the back to be used with double
sided printing.
But i cant figure out how to do it.
When I did it manualy it worked first the odd and than the even pages.
But it should be possible with the printer itself does anybody knows how??
Sorry if I make misstakes English is for me a foreign language.

You need to go into the printer properties, usually the Features tab.
There is a check for 'Two-Sided Printing'. Whn checked, there should also
be a check in 'Automatic.' If not, try checking it. If you cannot, then
the printer driver and/or printer do not recognize the duplexer. Make
certain it is connected properly. You can also check some electric
contacts on it. Being new, it should be OK, but they might have some gunk
on them.

hi jeff
I just want to ask you if you had problems with the installation of the
drivers.
I am going to buy this printer but i heard that he's a little tricky the
installation.
Thank you very much

Yes the instalation CD was not as it should be but I did it manualy the
problem with double sided printing is also in the drivers HP has at this
moment no good drivers to support double sided printing with this machine in
XP so I did it manualy first the odd sides and than the even.
Maybe it is better to wait with this excelent printer till HP makes the good
drivers.
Thnx for the response
