Just got a HP Envy 4527- people on reviews say they can double side print without manipulating the paper, and the first time I printed it was double sided. 

 

Now it is just single sided, and I cannot choose the option when trying to print. 

 

Please help as I have looked on a lot of online forums and none work.

 

I really need double sided printing- would not have gotten this printer if I knew it wouldnt work.

A warm welcome to HP forums! This is a great place to get support, find answers and tips to your technical queries.

I believe we can enable two sided printing from the print dialogue windows. Let's try these steps:

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

2.) Look for a Two-Sided option in the print dialog and then check the Two Sided box.

Two-Sided option in the print settings

 

3.) Click Layout in the unnamed print options menu, select a binding option(Long-Edge binding is Portrait  and short-Edge binding is landscape) from the Two-Sided menu, and then click Print.

Let me know how it goes!
