I have a HP Photosmart C4280, which installed automatically during Ubuntu installation. The printer prints fine, including all quality settings and colour etc.
However I just cannot get the print both sides option to work. The option is there in the settings, and I can change it, but nothing makes the printer print both sides of the paper.
In Windows, it would print half the document, then I would get a pop up message window saying "turn the paper upside down and insert it in the feeder again" (something like that), and then it would finish the document. I was expecting something similar here.
Any ideas?
Probably related??? In System-Preferences there is something called HPLIP Toolbox, which finds the printer when searching USB ports, however then gives a "PPD not file found" (sic) error. HPLIP is the correct driver, according to linuxprinting.org, so I'm not sure what all that means.
