Hi @Broadlee,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

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

If you're unable to select two-sided printing (also known as duplex printing) on your HP Photosmart C4580, here are some troubleshooting steps and possible solutions:

1. Check Printer Capabilities

Firstly, confirm that your printer model supports duplex printing. The HP Photosmart C4580 does not have automatic duplex printing capabilities, but it does support manual duplex printing.

2. Update Printer Driver

Ensure that you have the latest printer driver installed:

1. Download Latest Driver:
   • Go to the HP Support website.
   • Enter your printer model (HP Photosmart C4580) and download the latest driver for your operating system.
2. Install Driver: Follow the on-screen instructions to install the driver.

3. Enable Manual Duplex Printing

Since the HP Photosmart C4580 does not support automatic duplex printing, you will need to manually enable duplex printing in the print settings:

1. Open Print Dialog:
   • Open the document you want to print and go to File > Print.
2. Select Printer:
   • Choose your HP Photosmart C4580 printer.
3. Printer Properties or Preferences:
   • Click on Printer Properties or Preferences (this option name can vary depending on your operating system).

Create a Duplex Printing Preset (MacOS)

If you are using a Mac, you can create a printing preset for manual duplex printing:

1. Open Print Dialog:
   • Open the document you want to print and go to File > Print.
2. Select Printer:
   • Choose your HP Photosmart C4580 printer.
3. Layout Options:
   • Click Show Details to expand the print options if needed.
   • Under the Layout section, check the box for Two-Sided (if available) or enable manual duplex printing.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
