Can anybody help me printing doublesided on the mentioned printer.

In WORD 2016 I choose manually doublesided but there's no choice for od/even.

The result is no page two on 2 back of 1. no4 on the back of 3 etc.

Unsure if it should be easier with Adobe=acrobat. this feature is there but still without doublesided result.

Does anybody have experience with this, please?

Hi @VANHARA,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community. I'd be happy to assist you with the "How to print on both sides" issue. 

 

Try the steps below to print on both sides-

 

Print on both sides of the paper

Use the settings in the print driver to print on both sides of the page.

 

  1. To avoid page ordering issues, load enough blank paper into the paper tray to complete your print job.

  2. Open the document, click File, and then click Print.

  3. Select your printer, and then click Printer Properties, Preferences, or Printer Setup, depending on what displays, to open the Document Properties or Printing Preferences window.

  4. Determine if you want the pages to read as a booklet or a tablet.

    1. Booklet binding (flip on long edge)

    2. Tablet binding (flip on short edge)

  5. Use one of the following methods to open and select duplex printing settings. Menu names vary by printer model.

    • If a Layout, Features, or Finishing tab is available, click it, and then select a page flip option under Print on Both Sides Manually.

      Duplex printing menu on the Layout tab in the HP print driver

    • If a Printing Shortcut tab is available, click it, select the Two-sided (Duplex) Printing shortcut, and then select a page flip option from the Print on Both Sides Manually or Two-sided (Duplex) Printing menu.

    • If a Basic tab is available, click it, and then select a page flip option under Double-Sided Printing (Manual).

  6. Click OK, and then click Print.

    • If the printer automatically pulls the pages back in and prints the other side, your printer supports automatic duplexing and the print job completes.

    • If the printer does not automatically pull the pages back in, continue with these steps to reload the pages to print the other side.

  7. Remove the printed pages from the output tray, and then reload them into the paper tray.

    NOTE: 

    Many print drivers display instructions on the computer on how to reload the paper. Use the steps if they display.

    • For most front loading printers, load the stack printed side facing up (Inkjets) 

      Loading pages to print the other side  for a front load input trayClick Continue to print the other side of the pages.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.

--->In the Devices and Printers window look for your HP Printer. If you see it listed, right-click on it and choose "Delete" or "Remove Device.”
--->Open up the run command with the "Windows Key + R" key combo.
--->Type printui.exe /s and click OK.
--->Click on the Drivers tab.
--->Look for HP Printer driver. If you see it click on it and click remove at the bottom.
--->Select OK.
--->Select Apply and OK on the Print Server Properties windows.

And then reinstall the printer full-featured drivers from Software and drivers page

Let's try installing the printer with windows built-in drivers.

 

Set Windows Update to automatically download driver software

Confirm that your computer is set to automatically download driver software.

  1. In Windows, search for and open Change device installation settings.

  2. In the Device Installation Settings window, select the Yes option, and then click Save Changes.

    Example of selecting the Yes option

Step 2: Connect your printer to the computer

Connect your printer to the computer before starting the driver installation.

USB connection to your computer

Wireless (Wi-Fi) connection to your network

Wired connection to your network

Step 3: Install the print driver with the Add a Printer wizard

Use the Windows Add a Printer wizard to install the built-in print driver.

Wireless or wired network connection (Windows 10, 😎

Wireless or wired network connection (Windows 7, Vista)

USB connection (Windows 10, 😎

USB connection (Windows 7, Vista)

Step 4: Print document

Print to make sure that your printer is working.

  • If you can print, the print driver installed and is working.

  • If you cannot print, continue to the frequently asked questions for help.

Hi Jay, still i am unsuccesfull in doublesided printing...

I saw the HP video but I still can't determine HOW I have to turn the delivered stack of paper into the feeder.

I think that has to be the key to succes

The printer you own has an automatic duplex printing options, let's try enabling that.

 

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.

 

Do not flip the page, wait for the printer to pull the page and print.

 

Keep me posted!
