Request you to follow the below troubleshooting steps from the document fix with pictures page 28  :-link

To print on both sides of the paper (Windows)
1. Load paper in the input tray. For more information, see Load media on page 10.
2. From your software, select Print.
3. Make sure your printer is selected.
4. Click the button that opens the Properties dialog box.
Depending on your software application, this button might be called Properties, Options, Printer Setup,
Printer Properties, Printer, or Preferences.
NOTE: To set print settings for all print jobs, make the changes in the HP software provided with the
printer. For more information on the HP software, see Printer management tools on page 50.
5. On the Printing Shortcuts or Printing Shortcut tab, select a shortcut which supports the Print On Both
Sides setting. Select an option from the Print On Both Sides drop-down list.
To change other print settings, click the other tabs.

paper size on the printer control panel.
