Windows 10: Duplex printing gets auto-disabled after restarting the computer

Hi all,I've got the following problem:When I installed the printer on my computer if I remember correctly, I added it via the ip-address, Windows didn't automatically detect that the printer supports duplex printing.

Microsoft Print to PDF won't print automatic duplex

I have a printer that does automatic duplex printing. I am working with others who also have printers with automatic duplex printing. I am preparing a booklet for an event we are having.. We were going to each 1/3 of the necessary copies on each of our
printers. On 3/3, I used Publisher and Microsoft Print to PDF to create a PDF to print the booklets using automatic duplex printers. Today, I went to create a new PDF with updated information and Microsoft Print to PDF no longer offers the automatic 2 sided
printing. My only choices are print 1 side and manually 2 side printing. What happened? Was I dreaming that there used to be an automatic 2 sided printing option? When I choose the manual option it says my printer is not set up for duplex printing yet.
I went through the set up process then tried to print and it asks me again to set it up. I have removed Print to PDF and resinstalled the driver and still no auto duplex printing. What can I do? I need to create a PDF that can be used for automatic duplex
printing. My cohorts don't have Publisher.

Does it matter want kind of printer I have? It's an HP PageWide MFP 377dw. When I print directly to it, the publisher document prints appropriately and auto duplex.

 

duplex printing in windows10

Hi,



Welcome to Microsoft community.

The functionalities like Duplex printing depends on the driver software.

I would suggest you to install the latest printer software from the manufacturer's website.

Hope this helps.

Windows Updated This Morning, Duplex Printing Shut off

My Windows 10 64 bit computer did an auto update this morning. Now I can no longer do duplex printing. How can I roll these updates back. There were multiple updates. I want this duplex functionality back. That is why I paid more for a duplex printer.
