HP 2200dn Printer Dtriver for XP that allows Duplex printing

[david.orchardhouse]

I have just bought a second hand HP 2200dn printer that I have
attached to my home network via a Netgear WGPS606 wireless usb print
server.

The standard Vista driver on my laptop allows me to print wirelssly to
this printer and duplex but I cannot find an XP driver that does. The
HP LJ 2200 Series PCL driver does print wirelessly OK from the XP
computer but I have no duplexing option

When I install the PCL6 driver it fails to recognise it - has anyone
any suggestions please.

Thanks

David

When you say the PCL6 driver failed to recognise it, do you mean it failed to
recognise the Printer or the Duplexer?
If the latter, open the printer driver properties, select the device setting
tab and near the bottom change the Duplex Unit to Installed.
The In-box (Windows XP) postscript driver enables the duplexer automatically,
the PCL driver does not.

Sorry for the delay in replying but I got distracted with work. When I
say it wouldn't recognise it I mean it wouldn't recognise a printer
was tkere let alone the duplexer.
