Hi :) 2 approaches to fix this, i've not thought about which should be number 1
1. To use the LO dialogues ... When the printer dialogue-box pops-up note there are 4 tabs at the top. On the 1st tab you should see a list of all the printers installed. Select the Hp 960 but instead of printing click on the "Properties" button. It's just under the list. The "Properties" pop-up also has a couple of tabs. The 1st should be "Paper". Duplex is about the 4h drop-down. Long-edge for Portrait but Short-edge for landscape. My boss can never figure out that short-edge refers to the shortest edge of the paper, or perhaps he is just being kind. 2. To change to normal dialogues ... LibreOffice - Preferences - General - "Print dialogues" - UNtick the tick-box that says "Use LO dialogues". Errr, are you sure that duplex is installed? When you install the driver it should ask you if you want duplex to be included. It might do it automatically.
