does this printer print front and back?

[candleladie]

Hi.  I just bought an HP Deskjet 2755e.  Does this print front to back?

Your title and question are two different things.

If you want to print duplex (front and back), this printer only does that manually, requiring you to feed the paper back into the printer when prompted.

Front to Back or Back to Front is a method of changing the order that pages come out of a printer. I am not sure if this model supports that feature or not.

Welcome to the HP Community Forum.

The printer will print front and back - but not automatically.

You have to print one side, reload the paper and print the other side.

What else?

Print margin is required to be larger along the bottom edge:

Print Margin Bottom (A4)	12.7 mm	.5 in
Print Margin Left (A4)	3 mm	1. in
Print Margin Right (A4)	3 mm	1. in
Print Margin Top (A4)	3 mm	1. in

and

This printer does not support Borderless printing.

Your photo prints will always include a white border around the edges.

The photo will be sized to fit inside the white border.

Well, I don't know -- I've never even seen a DeskJet Printer.

Beyond what I can find by looking at the documentation, they are a mystery to me.

I'm pretty sure the information button has naught to do with printing 2-sided unless the printer is not connected, in which case, sure - could be related to whether or not you can print.
