When I'm ready to print, there is an option for printing on both sides.  But, when opting for that, it doesn't work.  Any way to fix this?  Thanks.

The 5055 has a manual duplex option, you print one side then flip it it and print the second side.

Hi,

The HP Envy 5055 does have automatic duplex capabilities,

Duplex printing
Automatic (standard)

https://support.hp.com/hk-en/document/c05945859#AbT14

 

Follow the below steps to set up automatic duplex printing:


1. Verify the duplex-printing accessory has been installed properly. To verify this open the System Preferences and go to Print & Fax. Open the print queue of your printer. Click on Printer Setup and from the tab menu choose Driver. Verify the box next to HP Two-sided Printing Accessory (Duplexer) is checked.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. Select Layout from the drop-down menu.

6. 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

Tried, but that didn't work.  Thanks, though.
