Robert, This is a problem with the drivers. I've had several HP printers. Go to the web site and see if you can download drivers for XP. If not, there is a great program you can download (a little pricey, but worth it) called FinePrint. It will do two sided printing and much, much more. I love it. Diana Robert Novickas wrote: > Hi!
