Hello. I have installed the most recent driver but when checking the option to "print on both sides", it still prints only one sided. Is double sided printing a feature of this printer? I seem to recall it advertising so, but it has been awhile since I purchased it. Thank you for any assistance.

There is no automatic double-sided printer on your printer model.

 

To have an automatic double died printer must have a d in its name e.g. M452dw has automatic double-sided printing, but your M452nw doesn't have it.

You should be able to manually duplex which involves printing one side and then refeeding the paper.
