Bug Description
When I try to print a file from Libre Office Version: 4.1.1.2 on my HP Office Jet 6500 plus with the autoduplex installed and selected it will only print one-sided. I am using Ubuntu 13.04 as the OS and HPLIP 13.13.9.

Note: hp-check can be run in three modes:
1. Compile-time check mode (-c or --compile): Use this mode before compiling the
HPLIP supplied tarball (.tar.gz or .run) to determine if the proper dependencies
are installed to successfully compile HPLIP.
2. Run-time check mode (-r or --run): Use this mode to determine if a distro
supplied package (.deb, .rpm, etc) or an already built HPLIP supplied tarball
has the proper dependencies installed to successfully run.
3. Both compile- and run-time check mode (-b or --both) (Default): This mode
will check both of the above cases (both compile- and run-time dependencies).
Check types:
a. EXTERNALDEP - External Dependencies
b. GENERALDEP - General Dependencies (required both at compile and run time)
c. COMPILEDEP - Compile time Dependencies
d. [All are run-time checks]

david@david-
Solved this problem. I had deleted the previous packages of Ubuntu HPLIP and when I ran "sh /home/david/ Desktop/ hplip-3. 13.9.run " and chose "i=Remove and Install" it did not down load the package "Printer- driver- postscript- hp". I downloaded this using the Syhnaptic and the duplexer now works fine.
Sorry for the trouble.
