Hi @jay129

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

 

 

To better assist you - What's the operating system installed on the computer? 

 

HP Officejet 3830 All-in-One series do not support Auto-Duplex printing. Click here to check the specifications of HP Officejet 3830 All-in-One series. However, you can do manual duplex printing by feeding the printed paper back to the tray so that it can print on the other side.

 

To print on both sides of the page Manually on HP Officejet 3830 All-in-One series (Windows)

1. From your software, select Print.

2. Make sure your printer is selected.

3. 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.

4. Select the appropriate options.

● On the Layout tab, select Portrait or Landscape orientation.

● On the Paper/Quality tab, select the appropriate paper type from the Media drop-down list in the Tray Selection area, select the appropriate print quality in the Quality Settings area, and then select the appropriate color in the Color area.

● Click Advanced to select the appropriate paper size from the Paper Size drop-down list.

5. On the Layout tab, select an appropriate option from the Print on Both Sides Manually drop-down list.

6. After you print the first side, follow the on-screen instructions to reload the paper with the blank side up and top of the page down, and then click Continue.

7. Click OK to print.

 

To print on both sides of the page (OS X)

1. From the File menu in your software, choose Print.

2. In the Print dialog, choose Paper Handling from the pop-up menu and set Page Order to Normal.

3. Set Pages to Print to Odd only.

4. Click Print.

5. After all of the odd-numbered pages have printed, remove the document from the output tray.

6. Reload the document so that the end that came out of the printer is now going into the printer and the blank side of the document is facing toward the front of the printer.

7. In the Print dialog, return to the Paper Handling pop-up menu and set the page order to Normal and the pages to print to Even Only.

8. Click Print. 

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
