not sure if this site will help you out.

Hi There

You do not mention what operating system you use. If it is Windows Vista or Windows 7, it could be a driver problem causing this (you probably worked wit XP before). The HP 970 Printer is the best part of 10 years old, and therefor drivers might be difficult to get hold of.

By the way, the HP 970 range was one of the truly better printers HP has ever made.

Here are the download links:
Windows XP

Hi:
You can connect this printer to your HP laptop using a USB printer cable, It will plug into one of your laptop's USB ports.

Please open the Contorl Panel, go to Printer, Go to Preference of selcted printer.

Or the Properties of printer. There you will find on the General Tab, Print on both Side of page option, also known as DUPLEX.

Select it and then go for print.
