My double-sided option IS GONE?

[JohnPorkk]

Hello we have an issue with our HP Deskjet 2700 series. We always have issues with it, but right now we are trying to print a PDF double-sided, but there are no double-sided option anymore.

Before, I had printed double sided many times before, so why is the option gone? I had re-set setup though (on HP smart) and the network it was connected to though, since all devices in our household had switched to a new Wi-Fi. I had fine printing after that.

I had trouble connecting to printer too, today, but I re-plugged it and that worked. But now, when I try to print something, the double-sided option is gone? Please help.

Heh, no reply. Have you know, i found my own DIY technique. I print one page, but put the page back into the printer, flipping the page over myself. Heh, I guess my math skills in high school did work after all. it looks really odd though and different sizes but yes.

Nice workaround! Sometimes the old-school manual method does the trick, even if it’s not perfect. If the pages look misaligned or different in size, it might help to adjust the print settings, like scaling or margins, before printing the second side. But props to you for figuring it out on your own! Also, have you tried reinstalling the full driver package from HP’s support site for the DeskJet 2700 series? That usually restores all print options.
