[n6trf]

I see a lot of posts about vista & hp duplex. My hp c6280 duplex works just
fine in xp but forces manual duplex in vista. Where do I go for that fix?
TIA

Ok got a solution. Just click the print bar & it will do hardware duplexiing
. Seems to be a problem with word 2007 & word pad so is probably true for
all word processors in vista.

I see a lot of posts about vista & hp duplex. My hp c6280 duplex works just
fine in xp but forces manual duplex in vista. Where do I go for that fix?

There are two major issues with many of the older HP inkjet printers
when printing duplex in Vista:

1. Most of the printers default to the duplexer being "not installed".
To correct this go to the printers folder, right click on the printer,
Run as administrator, Properties, [continue at the UAC prompt], Device
Settings, Installable Options, set the Duplex Unit to "Installed",
Apply, OK. I would suspect this is the issue with your C6280.

2. Many of the printers print the back side upside down when duplexing.
The fix for this requires a patch. I have a patch available that
corrects the issue of the back side printing upside down. You can
request the patch by sending me an email (to (e-mail address removed) or see my
profile for email address). Please put Vista Duplex and the printer
model in the subject line. There is no charge for this and I will not
use your email for any purposes except providing the patch. I have
patches for the following:
