How to print double sided documents with Smart Tank 615

[Vinedresser]

Is there software to help print double-sided documents with the Smart Tank 615?  I understand there is no automatic double-sided printer, but there should be software that will print one side with directions for loading to print the other side. I don't see any options anywhere to enable double-sided printing. My computer is a Surface Pro 9.

 Welcome to the HP Community --

Update - An internal discussion has reported that this printer does not support automatic duplex printing.  Removed the incorrect reference to the specifications and removed the original video link.

Corrected:

 HP DeskJet Plus 4155 | 4120e: How to print a 2-sided document on HP Smart

Tutorial shows how to print a 2-sided document on the DeskJet printer.

This is a manual workaround as the printer does not support automatic 2-sided printing.

=====================

What else?

If you wish to use other than HP Smart,

If you have not done so,

Install the Full Feature Software / full driver printer software

and

Optionally (supported on your printer), install the Universal Scan Software

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

1) Printer Software

Printer - Full Feature Software - Install

If you have not done so, consider

• HP Full Feature Software / Full Driver printer software - supports printing and scanning from the web, printing in in other software and programs (for example, Word), and provides access to the full range of Printing Preferences / Shortcuts.  The full driver adds at least two shortcuts to the Desktop:  Printer Assistant and HP Scan.  If the printer model includes built-in Fax hardware, the software supports the setup and use of the Fax driver.  No Sign-in required.

If the full driver printer software is (already) installed but not working,

• Uninstall any printer software from Control Panel > icon view > Programs and Features
• Restart the computer and sign in.

Next,

• Check (for the Printer) in Devices and Printers  > If found, Right-Click Printer and Remove -- If any changes are made, that is, you remove anything, Restart the computer and sign in.I

Next,

• If using a printer USB cable between the printer and the computer, disconnect the cable before installing the printer software.

• Download and Save the Full Feature Software installation package or the Easy Start Software

Details Page - Driver - For your Printer

>>> Full Feature Software - Web Pack Installation Package - Information - Download  <<<

HP Easy Start Printer Setup Software – Offline Use Only 

Installation

• Open File Explorer
• Navigate to the folder in which you saved the installation file  (likely Downloads)
• Right-Click on the installation package and “Run as Administrator”
• If using a printer USB cable between the printer and the computer, connect the cable when instructed (near the end of the installation).
• After the software is installed, Restart the computer and log in

Optional – When Supported for your printer

Next – HP Universal Scan Software - NOTE:  Model and Operating System version Dependent

 HP Universal Scan Full Feature Software adds OCR libraries to installed HP Scan software. 

HPUS installs a new, full featured, (and separate) HP Scan software shortcut to the Desktop.

Note:  HPUS can be installed as standalone or installed after the full feature printer software.

After the software is installed, Restart the computer and sign in

HP Universal Scan Software provides a larger GUI to make using the software easier on high-resolution screens.   New features have been added to the main menu to help with navigating the settings.

====================================

The installation of the full driver adds at least two shortcuts to the Desktop:  

Printer Assistant 

HP Scan

>>> Open the Printer Assistant > tab Scan > Manage Scan to Computer > Enable

Example - Windows - Full Feature Software - Installed in Programs and Features
