Mac User: Is duplexing possible on HP Color Laserjet MFP M281fdw

[Q-for-U]

Hi,

It appears from my research that there is a fix for duplexing available for Windows, but I haven't located any information for Macintosh.

Curiously, which I went to my email, the option for double sided showed up as an option.

However when I am trying to print a word document, I don't have that option. I even went through the Word setup for printing, and wasn't able to turn it on from there either.

The only option I could find was to print several pages on one document. With the various arrow choices.

Two screenshots are included. Many thanks.

First shot is from printing from email, Second is printing from Word.

Hi @Q-for-U,

I'd like to help!

I understand that the two-sided option is not available on a word document.

Set up a two-sided (duplex) printing job from a Mac computer with an HP printer.

1. To avoid page ordering issues, load enough paper into the paper tray to complete your print job.

   NOTE: 

   To avoid paper jams, do not print on both sides of envelopes, photo paper, glossy paper, or transparencies. Do not print on paper lighter than 60 g/m2 (16 lb) or heavier than 105 g/m2 (28 lb).

2. Determine if you want the pages to read as a booklet or a tablet.

3. Open the document, click File > Print, and then click Show Details.

   • If the Two-Sided setting is available, select the checkbox to enable it. Then from the unnamed print options menu, select Layout, select Long-Edge binding for booklet layout or Short-Edge binding for tablet layout from the Two-Sided menu, and then click Print.

     

 If the issue persists, try opening the document with a mac preview window

 and then check if the two-sided printing option shows up.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
