Two-Sided Automatic Printing on 7310 with Vista?

[Bennett Quillen]

I have a 4-year old 7310 All-in-One HP color printer, with which I am pleased
and have used with previous operating systems to automatically print on both
sides of a page. Now, with Vista I apparently have to manually rotate each
page. Is there a "fix" this?

I believe this problem first surfaced in March or April 2007. If you
search these groups for Officejet 7400 and Deskjet 6500 you should
find the solution, which is to install the Deskjet 6500 drivers and
use that for automatic duplex printing. I am guessing that the 7300
series and 7400 series drivers are similar if not identical.

There are two issues. First, Vista defaults to the duplexer "not installed"
for the 7310. Go to Start, Settings, Control Panel, Printer, right click on
the 7310, select Properties, Device Settings, Installable Options and select
"installed" for the Duplex Unit. The second issue is that the default
driver will print the back side upside down. For this issue please send me
an email with "Vista Duplex Officejet 7310" in the subject line and I will
send a patch and instructions.

@Bob
Thanks for sending along the patch for the 7410. I installed it this
morning and it works like a charm.

Do you know why HP hasn't incorporated this into the driver one can
download from their website?

I can't belive that in HP website, in the section "'How to use'
(http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/useCategory?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&product=391182)",
they write this "The driver for this product (OfficeJet 7310) does not
support automatic two-sided printing in Windows Vista"

Odds are good that the driver evolved since that "How to use" was
written and the documentation is out of date.
