I have HP Deskjet 4530. It supports double-sided or two-side print on long or short egde. But while printing from android (OnePlus 7T Pro, I am using HP Print Service Plugin and HP Smart app on my android) it never saves my previous selection of two-sided print preference. For every new print I have to again select two-sided preference.
In short, I want to permanently set my print preference in android phone, as two-sided - Long Edge, so that I dont have to select it every time for every new print.
Its possible in Windows: https://supportvideos.ext.hp.com/detail/video/2509392443001/setting-the-two-sided-printing-preferenc...
I am wondering if anyone knows how to do it in android.

Sorry it seems, you havent understood the question.
The issue that I have mentioned is how to enable auto/default double sided printing in andriod phone.
This is how i print a PDF, I use hp print plugin via adobe acrobat. When i select print option in adobe acrobat, its take me to above screen.
Screen 1: Document Preview
Screen 2: More Options View
Screen 3: I select "Long Edge" for two sided print.
Now this "Long Edge" selection, doesnt get saved anywhere and when I print next document, I again have to select "Long-edge".
What i want is that my printing preference of "long-edge" for double sided print should save by default and get applied automatically for all the future prints.
I hope i am able to make myself clear now.
