HP OfficeJet 6500: Duplex printing

Hello,

I've just bought a HP OJ 6500 and after recognizing the shipped-with CD contains "up to 10.5" software and drivers only I downloaded 10.6 software from HP.

I installed the software and added the printer in system settings.

When choosing appropriate driver, software update started and downloaded HP drivers from Apple.

Now I'm unable to print duplex.

No matter if I activate the checkbox or manually select double-sided printing in Layout settings, sheets are always printed one-sided.

Any hint or advice on how to fix this?

Thanks in advance,

Peet

Hello again.

Downloaded and (re-?)installed HP PrinterDriver Update 2.4.1 from Apple download and now it seems to work ... At least this time it warned me duplex is not available with "border-less" (or "margin-less"? In my German installation it's "Randlos A4") printing. Switching to normal paper size, with no special options set, and enabling duplex it worked.

Bye,

Peet
