Duplex printing with Word on a Mac

[Bruesehoff]

I recently moved to wireless printing with my HP 8715. When I had the printing plugged into the computer, Word documents would automatically print both sides. Since moving to wireless connection with the printer, I have to manually select duplex printing from the drop down print menu each time I want to print. I'd like to set duplex printing as the default setting, but I can't figure out how to do that. Thanks for your help.

Hi,
Please follow the steps below in order to automatically print two-sided print jobs:

From the file used to print click the File menu and select Print.
NOTE: The Print window might be minimized. Press on Show Details to show any available print option.

In the expanded Print window you will find next to Copies the checkbox for Two-Sided. Check the box.
NOTE: If the checkbox does not appear within the specific application print dialog, skip this step.

To select the binding type click the lowest selection box listed as the name of the program (e.g. TextEdit)
Will appear as Copies & Pages within Microsoft Office applications.

Select Layout from the drop-down menu.

Set the Two-Sided option as Long-Edge binding (Portrait), or Short-Edge binding (landscape).

You may save the settings for future use by clicking Presets > Save Current Settings as Preset... Any used preset will remain default till another preset will be used.

Regards,
Shlomi
