HP ENVY PRO 6430 won't duplex print

[ASukiasian]

Hello community, 

My HP Envy Pro 6430 printer won't duplex print anymore, and I can't seem to understand the issue. I have a PDF, and I need to print 2 pages of it (let's say page A and B), repeatedly, on both sides of the sheet. So I need to have: pages A and B on one side, same two pages A and B on the other side.  

Here are my settings:

Two pages per sheet, two sided printing, flip on short side, two copies. I am not sure what I am doing wrong, but the outcome of this is two sheets of paper, each of them contains pages A and B on one side, while the other side is blank. What I'm trying to get from this settings is just one sheet of paper with both pages A and B printed on both sides.  

Previously printing analogical task, the printer would automatically "flip" the paper sheet to print the other side, but it is not happening anymore. I am trying to understand if there is a contradiction between the settings I define or is there something wrong going on with the software or hardware.

Looking forward to your replies!

Thank you very much.

Welcome to the HP Community Forum.

If you have not done so, try --

On the first page of the print menu,

Set the Page Range to 1-2,1-2

The following example shows an example of setting the Page Range - the example does not include the "2-pages per sheet" in More Settings.

Will it work?

Maybe - perhaps worth checking, at least...
