Two-Sided Automatic Printing on 7310 with Vista?

As of November 7th, 2008, the latest release of the 7310 Vista driver still does not work correctly with the duplex unit.

I contacted Bob Headrick (see message #3 in this thread), who promptly sent me the patch along with complete instructions on how to apply it.

I installed the patch on my two Vista machines, and now automatic duplex printing is working flawlessly.

Thanks, Bob!
