How can I setup my printer's default to always use double sided printing? I did this when I used window 7 but have not been able to find where I do this with windows 10.

Hello @zatarl, Greetings!

 

Welcome to the HP Forum! This is a wonderful location to converse with the community, get assistance and find tips.

 

I understand that you need to setup the double-sided printing with your Officejet printer.  Please follow the steps mentioned below and check:

  • Go to Control panel – Devices and printer.
  • Right-click on Officejet 4630 and select “Printer properties”.
  • Select the “Device settings” tab.
  • Ensure that the “Duplex unit” is set to “Installed” rather than “Not installed” and save the settings.
  • Now again give a right-click on the printer icon and select “Printing preferences”.
  • If a "Printing shortcuts" tab is available, select the "Print on Both Sides" or "Two-sided (Duplex) Printing" option.
  • If “Printing shortcut” is not available, click the “Layout”, “Features”, or “Finishing tab”, depending on which tab displays in your driver version.
  • Locate the "Print on Both Sides" or "Two-sided printing" menu or option, then select the binding or page flip option depending on if you want the document to read like a booklet or a tablet and save the settings.

 

That should do the trick. Let me know!

Good Luck 🙂
