Printing Double-sided on Mac with an HP Printer

To print on both sides of the paper (duplex printing) using an HP printer on a macOS, you can follow these steps.

If you're encountering issues, ensure that your printer supports duplex printing and that the correct settings are selected.

Steps for macOS:

1. Open the Document:

   • Open the document you wish to print.
     
     

2. Access Print Settings:

   • Click on File and select Print in the application you are using.
     
     

3. Select Printer:

   • Choose your HP printer from the list.
     
     

4. Enable Double-sided Printing:

   • Look for the option labeled Double-sided or Two-sided in the print dialog.
     
     
   • If it's available, select On or On (Short Edge)  for a conventional layout like in book binding (Long-Edge) or for a calendar (Short-Edge).

5. Begin Printing:
   • After selecting the appropriate double-sided options, click Print to start the job.
     
     

If the double-sided or two-sided options are not visible:

• You might need to explore Layout or Paper Handling sections to manually manage the duplex settings.
  
  
• Adjust settings under System Preferences > Printers & Scanners  to ensure the correct drivers are installed, supporting duplex print functionality.
  
  
  

Additional Suggestions:

• Paper Handling Errors: Ensure that the paper weight and type are within printer specifications to avoid jams or damage.
  
  
• Update Printer Drivers: Make sure that your printer's drivers are up to date for new features and fixes including duplex printing.
  
  

Refer to your printer's manual or support resources for additional guidance if double-sided options are still unavailable.
