Bought this. It has duplex. It has two discs, Vista & XP. On the XP machine
the duplex works fine. On the Vista machine the 'automatic two-sided
printing' is not greyed out it doesn't exist. Anyone know a workaround or
something to help.

Have you done the full software installation or just the 'minimum
drivers'? In my (and many other people's) experience installing the
full software supplied by HP for this printer causes all sorts of
problems. After mucking about for a while with the full software I
found that the 'drivers only' installation provides all that's needed
and is *much* more reliable.

I'm not really sure if this is relevant to a Vista installation but
you never know.

If the printer came with the Win Vista logo certification on the box,
and Vista drivers inside, it should have all features when using the
Vista OS. You might try the in-box drivers from Vista if they exist for
that printer, but either way, this is an HP issue. HP develops the
drivers, and assuming you loaded the correct Vista drivers for the
printer (and not the XP drivers on the Vista machine, or the wrong
printer model) this is something that HP needs to address, and you
should contact them.

If it's the same Vista drivers as on the HP web site, they are very
flakey. No matter what option you choose, it will only duplex top/bottom
instead of side/side. There was somebody who had a replacement for one
file that fixes that.

Despite that, there are still margin isues. It seems to add nearly 1/2"
of extra margin when doing duplexing, and not matching what my previous
and work Win2K computers do.

As for the duplex being greyed out, I think you have to go into advanced
settings somewhere to enable it. Right-click printer in Printers folder,
choose Properties, go to the Device Settings tab. Under Installable
options, set Duplex Unit to INSTALLED.
