How to double sided print from WORD when NO option for "two sided" when printing on HP 6510

[barbaraHP8600]

I just set up my new HP8600 and was puzzled about printing doublesided from Word. Thanks for being the answer to my question!

Thanks shlomi, works perfect !

But for landscape printing, select "short edge" !

 I bought a second Officejet 6600 when my 1st one stopped working (cheaper to replace it I thought). The 1st 6600 did double sided printing just fine.

BUT the secondOfficejet 6600 did NOT come with the duplex mechanism so I installed the old one from the firstOfficejet 6600.

Could it be even though the duplex mecanism fits, the printer doesn't know about it?

If so how can I start that option?

If I knew, I'd tell you.  I gave up, and bought an Epson printer.  I haven't looked back in the last year, and have no problems printing doublesided, using the iPad print apps, finding the printer on the network...

NONE of the problems I had from Day 1 with the HP printer.  The print quality is 10x better, the scanner always works.  Right now, I don't foresee buying any other HP products again.  I'd decided years ago to never buy another of their laptops, but I was still buying their printers because they were quality.  After this, not only are they not quality, the customer service is awful.  I called, I posted, I emailed, and nobody could ever give me an answer.

At least the HP printer was able to go help a non-profit that does disaster recovery support.  They didn't care if it did double-sided printing, all they cared about was if it printed.

Thank you so much. This solved my problem. But can you now tell me how to get to "presets" so I don't have to go through these steps every time?

Again, thanks,

Yeah this solution sorely needs to be updated.

Like if the Printer Properties are all set to do duplex printing automatically, but Word doesn't allow you double sided printing as an option.  In this scenario, all other options (regardless if they bring up system dialog boxes or not) don't seem to solve it.

It's frustrating because you know the printer can handle it -- it's even configured to do so -- but the popular Word software just won't see it.

And that is why HP lost a long time customer.  I own an Epson printer now, and don't have to play this game.

I tried this solution, but I still do not see the 2-side print option.

Do not see how to add screenshots

Shlomi's response is exactly what I am looking for.  Now my problem is resolved.  Thanks so so much!

Thanks! This solution worked with my Brother printer as well.
