Hi @Heymare66,

Thanks for stopping by the HP community. A very good day to you.  I reviewed the post regarding assistance with two-sided printing from your MAC. I will be delighted to assist you here.

Superb description and stupendous diagnosis of the issue before posting. Kudos to you for that. 🙂

For better clarity and to assist you better I would require more information regarding this:

• Did you check the printer settings?

For now try all the relevant steps from this link: http://hp.care/2BVbMo3 (HP Printers - How to Print on Both Sides of the Paper (Mac) (Duplexing)) there is an associated video on how to do it.

• How do I enable the Two-Sided print setting if my printer supports it?
• How do I turn off duplex printing?

Also, check the printer settings from this link: http://hp.care/2BWvi3w (HP Printers - Print Driver Settings Guide (Mac)) then check the option “Layout and formatting settings”

This should do the trick for you.

Hope this helps. Let me know how this goes. I genuinely hope the issue gets resolved without hassles and the unit works great.

Thank you, David for responding. I greatly appreciate it. I ended up Googling a solution. I DID watch the video, as well. (I had NO IDEA) there is a "secret menu" on my actual printer!

What WASN'T on the explanation in ANY of the directions of installing the duplexor is that once it IS connected, (which I actually did, but didn't know it) is that the checkbox for the duplexor DOESN'T show up again once it's connected, as it already is!

The problem I noticed was that if I print a NON-Word or Excel document, the two-sided check box DOES appear. But to print a two-sided Word or Excel document using the duplexer,  I have to  click on COPIES AND PAGES and change it to LAYOUT, then click on TWO-SIDED copy, then click on LONG-EDGE or SHORT-EDGE binding, then save it as a PRESET.

But thank you for your response.
