Hp Smart Tank 7305 - how to print duplex A5 sheets.

[Smudge9000]

A4 paper prints fine in duplex mode, A5  sheets print single sided despite correct A5 paper inserted and set to A5 and duplex flip on long side. I have tried HP Smart and normal windows print drivers.

will the printer print A5 duplex ?

My office jet 8650 works in A5.

I am trying to print a PDF document of 80 pages. Have tried Win 10 and 11.

Any help appreciated.

Hi @Smudge9000,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

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

It seems like you're encountering an issue with duplex printing on A5 paper with your HP Smart Tank 7305 printer. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try.

• Check Printer Settings: Ensure that the printer settings both in the HP Smart app and the Windows print driver are correctly configured for A5 paper size and duplex printing. Double-check that the duplex option is set to flip on the long side.
• Update Printer Firmware and Drivers: Make sure your printer's firmware is up to date. Additionally, ensure you have the latest drivers installed for your printer model on your computer.
• Paper Orientation: Verify that the A5 paper is loaded correctly in the paper tray. The paper should be loaded with the correct orientation to ensure proper duplex printing.
• Test with Different Applications: Try printing the PDF document from different applications to see if the issue persists. Sometimes, printing from a different application can resolve compatibility issues.
• Reset Printer Settings: If possible, try resetting the printer settings to default and then reconfigure the settings for A5 duplex printing.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.

Apologies for jumping in unannounced.

My comments might be an over simplification -- or just wrong...

Found this:

The printer specifications do not list A5 as supported in Duplex.

Standard Media Sizes (duplex, Imperial)	Letter; Executive; Not supported for borderless photo
Standard Media Sizes (duplex, metric)	A4; B5; Not supported for borderless photo
