2-sided printing on a hp officejet pro 8715 with a Mac Os X El Capitan vr 10.11.6

I cannot get the printer to print 2 sided. Am I missing a step or what? It will copy 2 sided. So, what is the procedure to get it to work?

Welcome to the HP Forums 🙂 

I would like to take a moment and thank you for using this forum, it is a great place to find answers. 

As I understand you need information on using two-sided printing on HP printer with your MacOS,

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, however, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details: 

Did you set up the print job using the print preferences?

While you respond to that, here's what you need to do:

Step 1: Set up the print job

Set up the duplex print job in the document print settings.

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

2. Open the document you want to print, click File, click Print, and then click Show Details if necessary.

3. Look for a Two-Sided selection box.

   Figure : Two-Sided option in the print settings

   

   • If the Two-Sided option is available, your printer supports automatic duplexing. Select the checkbox next to Two-Sided, select Layoutfrom the unnamed menu at the center of the window, select long or short-edge binding from the Two-sided pop-up menu, and then click Print. You do not need to complete the rest of these steps.

   • If the Two-Sided option is not available, either your printer does not support automatic duplexing or additional setup is required for your automatic two-sided duplexing accessory. If you know your printer has the accessory, go to the Frequently asked questions to enable it. Otherwise, continue with these steps to manually print on both sides of the page.

4. Before continuing, you need to know your printer type: rear loading or front loading. The page settings you will select depend on what kind of paper tray your printer has.

1. Select Paper Handling from the unnamed menu at the center of the window, and then select Odd Only from the Pages to Print menu.

   Figure : Select Odd Only pages to print

   

2. Depending on your printer type, select one of the following settings from the Page Order menu:

   • Rear loading paper tray: Select Automatic

   • Front loading paper tray: Select Reverse

3. Click Print.

4. When all the pages are printed, remove any remaining unprinted paper from the input tray, and then continue to the next step.
