Managed to solve this myself: I disassembled the printer and noticed there was a paper jammed in the duplex tray. Rolls were all ok, but the paper blocked the use of the duplex pathway. For disassembly help check the HP 1320 service manual, which you can find on the net as a PDF.

There's a firmware update and driver update available on the HP.com website...

I'd recommend updating both and then seeing if the problem remains...

Open HP Solution Center, click on Settings, click on Scan Preferences, select "Scan both sides of original when using duplex feeder."

or
Open Solution Center, click on Scan Document, and you should have a check box towards the bottom of the window which would say 'scan both sides of the original document'. check that box and start scanning.

What is bad duplexer connection?

Hello,
duplexer is the bit that turns the sheet of paper over to enable it to be printed on its other side. Its usually a tray that the sheet is fed into after its been printed on its 1st side, then out of again to effect the flip and print on the sheet's other side. Its probably a 'bolt-on' option to the printer and may not be seated quite right, so not all its connections are making good contact. Careful, though
as there are high voltages present inside the printer....switch it off and disconnect the mains lead before you go investigating the internals!

I have not used that specific printer, but from all I can determine, it is not a duplex printer.

Problems with duplex printing

So you're saying it will only pull paper from tray 1? This is likely because there is some setting that makes it think the paper in the other tray is not "normal" -- either thick paper, or a different size, or recycled. Check the paper type and size settings in the printer's menu, and also check the settings in the print driver.

The other tray that you want to duplex from is capable of duplexing, right? On some printers you can only duplex from specific trays.

How do you print duplex on a HP Laser Jet 4650n

You have to print the first side then take those prints and put them back into the paper tray to print the second side (Manual Duplex). If this were a DN model it would have built in automatic duplexing and you cound select "duplex printing" from your print setup screen and the printer would print both sides automatically.

Only if you print the first side then place the paper back into the printer to do the second side. Also referred to as manual duplexing. This printer has no automatic duplexing option.
Also keep in mind that the percentage of duplex prints you do should be very low as this printer has no method of cleaning the fusing unit as most printers do that are made for duplexing. The industry standard is 2% or less should be duplexed.

HP Laserjet 2015n printer

Sir, the Hp LaserJet 2015n printer CANNOT automatically do duplex printing since the printer does not include mechanism and paper storage areas to cycle the paper through the printer a second time and print on the reverse side. Manual duplex printing can be done as follows: Choose duplex printing and remove all sheets after the printing is complete. Turn the sheets over while preserving the orientation and insert them in the paper feed path. I have an HP 1020 laserjet printer which is similar to the 2015.
