Hello,
I've successfully set up many printers, using cups and HPLIP
before. I prefer to use CUPS.
So I cannot find an explicit listing for this new model HP printer:
"OfficeJet Pro 8500"; so I'm using this driver:
HP OfficeJet Pro 1150C.
Everything works, admin from localhost:631 for CUPS;
HP printer admin from the embedded web server (very cool). It
has a multitude of settings, but no duplex setting. I'm trying
to avoid using the HP disc on an XP system for admin.......
The HP literature clearly states this is a duplex printer.
I can copy both sides of a letter size document to a single
page, just using the menu on the printer. So I can see that
it duplexes. So I'm concluding (for now) that the problem
is the CUPS (best/closest I could choose) driver does not
support Duplex printing.
Does anyone know of an HP OfficeJet driver that supports
duplex printing? I have not been successful in finding a
CUPS drivers specifically for this printer:
HP OfficeJet Pro (A909g) and I really do not want to use HPLIP.
CUPS-1.4.2-r1 is installed.
Any suggestions are most welcome.

About the third one down. Maybe that will help.
