Windows 10: Double Printing

I've been trying to double print on my printer for a while now, but for some odd reason I just can't. My printer has double printed before and I've tested it out with my other devices and it works fine but it just won't on my computer. I have a HP Pavilion with windows 10 and I've updated everything, I also just got it too. I recently learned that you have to activate duplex unit on the printer but it won't let me access it for some odd reason. I've tried double clicking but duplex unit just won't show. Is there something wrong with my computer? What should I do?
