Solved: How can I setup-up this printer for double-sided printing? - HP Support Community

ProM282 · ‎03-19-2020

Need help with the settings for M282nw. Does not print double sided although I've been clicking the box "double sided" in the print settings. Is there any settings to be changed on the printer itself?

As this device only supports manual duplex you will need to re-read the paper to duplex. Do you have the actual HP driver installed or are you using a driver automatically installed by your MAC? The driver you use must be able to support manual duplexing.

Thanks for the answer. I have installed the HP Smart-app as suggested while installing the device. How do I proceed to be able to manually print double sided?
