I have a Officejet 7400 all in one printer, I am running Lion 10.7.4. I have been trying to do double sided printing. I have tried all the solutions in the forum. The option is still grayed out. I have worked on the Paper Handling option and told it to scale to fit paper size. When I select US letter, I do not have the option they suggested. I can print double sided if I am printing from the internet.

Which software application are you using to print?
Since you are able to select this option from a website this may be related to the print application..

I found this article regarding multipage printing with microsoft word for MAC:
http://greencampus.ucsd.edu/newsletter/duplexmulti
These are the exact steps to perform this operation:
1.From your browser's File menu, select Print... .
If there is a button at the bottom of the printer dialog that reads Show Details, click it. This will reveal more settings for your printer.
2.There will be a pull-down menu that either says Copies & Pages or has the name of the program you're using (e.g., Safari or Microsoft Word). Click it and choose Layout.
3.Choose one of the following:
◦To print two pages per sheet: Next to "Pages per Sheet:", select 2.
◦To print double-sided (i.e., one page on each side, front and back): Next to "Two Sided:", select Long-Edge Binding or Short Edge Binding, depending on the orientation you want for your pages. When you select one of these options, the illustration may show you how the pages will be oriented.

I have followed the steps suggested in the reply and what was on the web page and they have not solved the problem. I have discovered another fact. My MAC Pro which is on the same network and also using the printer wirelessly does duplex printing in Microsoft Word. When I go to Show Preset and go to Layout it says that two sided printing is Off. How can I change it there.

In the print window that pops up after you select File>Print, select Paper Handling. Click in the check box to select "Scale to fit paper size". That allows you to select the Destination Paper Size. Select from the pull-down menu US Letter, then US Letter Two-sided margins. Now when you go to Two-sided Printing, you can click on the check box to select Print Both Sides. But before you click "Print", save the whole thing as a Preset so that it's much quicker to do it next time!
Follow these steps and please post back results.

I hit this problem with an HP 7400 and Mountain Lion.
Go to System Preferences; click on Print & Scan; select your Oficejet 7400 in the list of printers at the left; make sure Print (not Scan) is selected at the top; click on Options & Supplies; select Driver at the top; click to put in a tick against HP Two-sided Printing Accessory; click on OK; close System Preferences.
I found that I had to restart OS-X for this to take effect.

The last hint might have gotten it. I upgraded to Mountain Lion and there was an HP upgrade for my computer. But it worked.
