I have some reports which print from VB. VB checks the driver to see if the printer has duplex and if it is set what it is set to before setting it based on which report is printing.

Most of my windows drivers return the correct values and work great.
For some reason no matter what my printer is set for it does not return a value. This is a minolta di550 and a Fiery X3 (pi5500).

The old PCL drivers which came with the machine worked properly, the new ones do not, the PS never worked and now I am using the Adobe drivers they do not work either.

Orientation is returned as well as Paper, Vert and Horiz twips, Scale top and left, Scale Height and Width. Why is duplex not returning values. Is this something no one want's to program into the drivers?
