Hi @rlkocher1,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

Enabling the duplex function on an HP printer when using a Chromebook can sometimes require specific steps. Here’s a general guide to ensure that duplex printing is set up correctly on your Chromebook:
 

Ensure Printer Compatibility: Make sure your HP printer supports duplex printing.

Check Printer Settings: On your Chromebook:
 

• Open the document or page you wish to print.
• Click on the Ctrl + P keyboard shortcut to open the print dialog.
• Select your HP printer from the list of available printers.
• Click on More settings to expand additional options.
• Look for a duplex or two-sided printing option and select it.

Update Printer Drivers: Ensure that your Chromebook is using the most recent printer settings. Since Chromebooks work with the cloud, drivers are not typically required, but you should ensure that the printer's software or settings on the cloud are up to date.

Google Cloud Print (if applicable): If you are using Google Cloud Print, make sure it is configured properly, though this service has been deprecated, and alternatives may be required.

HP Printer App and Support: Check if there is an HP printing app or extension available for your Chromebook that can help manage printer settings more effectively.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have an amazing day!
