HP 2450 cannot automatically duplex printing

[ghjuk]

Hi,

I've tried to have duplex printing with my HP2450 device for several times. However, I struggle with the automatic duplex printing. I read in one of the articles in HP forum and followed the instructions but the problem still exist. I can not automatically duplex printing even though I set the print properties as flip on long edge.

please advise.

Thanks

PS: Attached screenshot of my printing settings

Welcome to the HP Forums. I would be happy to help you with your HP PSC 2450 Photosmart printer. I understand that you are unable to print on both sides, and you have already done some preliminary troubleshooting. 

Don't worry though as I have a few steps to determine the issue and find a solution as well,

• Open the document that you want to print, click File, then click Print.
• Select the name of your printer, then click Printer Properties or Preferences, or Printer Setup, depending on what displays.
• If a Printing Shortcut tab or a duplexing shortcut is not available, click the Layout, Features, or Finishing tab, depending on which tab displays in your driver version.
• Locate the Print on Both Sides or Two-sided printing menu or option, then select the binding or page flip option depending on if you want the document to read like a booklet or a tablet.
• Click OK, then click Print.
• Remove the printed first side pages from the output tray, then tap the stack on a flat surface to align the pages.
• Load the printed first side pages into the main input tray.
• Click Continue.
