How do I enable 2-sided printing with a Xerox DocuPrint laser printer?

Question

After installing the drivers for my DocuPrint C2255 printer, it just will not allow me to select double-sided printing.

• The PCL driver does not even display "2 sided" as an option in the drop-down
• The PostScript driver displays the option, but when selected gives this slightly confusing error...
  
  

It seems to think that the duplex unit is not installed. What do I do?

Solution

I finally found that you had to manually tell the driver about the presence of the duplex unit. This is done through Control Panel > Printers & Devices > right-click your printer > Printer Properties.

For the standard PCL Driver...

For the PS Driver...

Hi Simon. Can you accept your own answer? That way it will not get bumped to the front page (Which happens now and then with questions with no accepted answers).
