Product: HP ENVY 4500 e-All-in-One Printer
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11
Something changed in 2024. My ability to select double-side print has disappeared from the printing menu. It's been an option from the time I bought this old, but reliable printer.
Where did it go?
I downloaded any and all current HP info I could find, but the only time I see double-side print option (manual verse automatic) is for MS Word documents and there's no double-side selectable for PDF files.
Note: when I open a MS Word document to print two-sided I can then open a PDF, but it only allows manual 2 sided printing.
Why take it away when it's what makes the printer a meaningful small business tool.
