HP 8500 has: Mac and HP 8500 has duplex printing

After no problem for a few years, I can't print duplex in Word. I went through the printer Scanner options and checked Duplex. This allowed me to print PDF only duplex but not from Word.

I have another Mac that can. A mystery to me. Help, please.

Thank you
