There are three models of the 5100. The DTN is the model that has the
duplexer. The TN has everything but the duplexer and a bit less ram,
and the N is a bare bones model with no print server card and only
one tray besides the multipurpose tray. The legal sized duplexing
issue appears in Finale files, Sibelius files and PDF files under OSX
specifically. There was a new printer driver released a few months
ago for the 5100 line, and I was hopeful that it would solve this
issue, but it doesn't. Note that the first of my two printers was
purchased while I was on OS9 and the duplexer worked perfectly with
legal pages at that time. The problem started when I upgraded to
OSX. I'd be willing to bet that the duplexer works just fine with
legal pages under the Windows operating system, but I have no way to
corroborate that, unfortunately. And HP's tech support is, shall we
say, not entirely stellar. And of course, there is the possibility
that the duplexing hardware for both of my printers is broken for
legal pages, but I'm not about to drop another $300 on a new duplexer
to find that out. That said, I've had little or no other trouble with
these printers - they produce excellent quality output at 300, 600 or
1200 dpi; and they are relatively fast (20ppm).
