How to Print on both sides of the paper – Duplex – 2-sided

 Print on both sides of the paper with an HP printer

 

Details

 

The printer, like others in this DeskJet series, does not support automatic 2-sided (duplex) printing.

 

What does that mean?

 

You can print a document on both sides of the paper, the printer requires that you interact with the process to print 2-sided / duplex.

 

and

 

Duplex Print OptionsManual (driver support provided)

 

"Manual (driver support provided)" means that having installed the full driver printer software (in Windows), the software can instruct you to print the front side of the page, then remove, rotate, return the paper, and print the backside of the page on the backside of the paper.
