HP6980 Duplex Driver in Windows 7

Friday, 08 January 2010 11:53 | Author: Paul |

I have been searching for months to fix why my HP6980 printer won't print duplex automatically since installing Windows 7 - finally the answer which works for me:

"Do the following: go to the Printers folder, right click on the Deskjet 6980, Printer Properties, Device Settings, Installable options, Duplex unit, set to installed, OK.

If your driver does not support duplexing with the above then go to the Printers folder, right click on the Deskjet 6980, Printer Properties, Advanced, New Driver, Next, HP, click on Windows Update and wait a few minutes for the list to update, HP Deskjet 6980 series (HP), Next, Finish, then if necessary go to Device Settings and set the duplexer to installed."

Ideal if you need a tool to resize your primary partition on a new computer so you can use a different partition for documents etc. or leave space for dual booting.

I have used this free tool to resize Windows XP / Vista and Windows 7 partitions with ease. This is a free home & business doenload (business edition requires free registration) and works perfectly and is very light.
