I am trying to connect an HP 4600dn colour laser printer to a networked Apple mac G4.

The network is all PC's except for this one Apple Mac.

I know less than zero about Apple Mac but have managed to sort out TCP/IP static address for it. All other PC's and unix server have static address's.

When I install printer on Apple Mac it says HP recommend Laserwriter 8 so I accept this. The printer gets installed ok and I can now print to it BUT i cannot get it to do Duplex printing (on both sides of page). There is an option on the page set-up to do this but it is greyed out so I cannot tick it. Printer works fine with PC's and option is available there. Software is Quark express on Mac & Pc.

Is it because Laserwriter8 does not support duplex??

Do I need another driver??
Urgent help required please anybody!
 
What Mac OS are you using ?
Eventually try to locate the PPD file of the LaserWriter 8 and open it with a simple text editor. Next locate the section heading something like duplex=false and change it to true.
