Communication breakdown
Yes, my new computer is talking to the printer.
I can print things.
What it does not want to do is print double-sided (wasteful, what?).
After doing various downloading of drivers, and software and firmware updates, it does offer something that it calls an Eco mode -
which involves printing two pages side by side on the same sheet, rather small.
DO.NOT.WANT
When I try to set double-sided printing in Printer Preferences it claims there it can't do that because 'Duplex Unit Not Installed', even though I have been printing double-sided for the last several years.
Have just tried a fix via an online tutorial (apparently you can tell the system that the Duplex Unit is, too, installed) and it does not seem to have fixed it...
Or maybe one has to turn off and reboot everything and then it will work as it should?
AAAAARRGGHHH.
