Double sided printing issue. Have already uninstalled/reinstalled/updated drivers, etc.

 

Printing using system dialogue; everything set up for double sided printing. I get message saying printer will stop after even number pages, reload and press continue. BUT the printer doesn't stop, and simply continues with the odd number pages on new paper upside down.

 

Anyone managed to fix this as I've tried all the fixes I found online for duplex related problems.

 

Thanks

Hi,
Make sure the Automatic Duplexing option is enabled:

Enter Control Panel > Devices and Printers.
Right-click the printer icon, then click Printer Properties.
Click the Device Settings tab.
Set the Automatic Two-Sided Duplex Accessory as installed and click OK to save the change.

Now Automatic Duplexing should become available.

 

If you experience further issues, please let us know your exact and full printer model, including its identifier (e.g. M276dn, M276nw, etc.):

Hello again. I got it to work once by enabling "Allow Manual Duplexing", which was the only option I could find which seemed relevant. It then stopped working the next time I tried.

 

The specific model is Laserjet Pro 200 MFP M276nw

 

So, it seems like it doesn't save the option or sometimes it doesn't stop having printed the odd numbered pages; and just continues with the even numbered pages backwards and upside down.

 

Thanks for any suggestions
