There is a duplexing add-on available for about $70 I may buy later. For now I'm just glad to have that one printing issue solved!
I was an HP'er and used to be in the design area of these things. Not sure why they limited the networking - probably easier for the firmware guys. They use a realtime OS, so it might not be a capability of the OS to multi-home.

The duplexer is really cool - once you use it, you'll not want to part with it. It's one of the reasons I keep my aging all-in-one (7410)
