envy 5010

Hi,

I have bought hp envy 5010 which have automatic duplex installed. 

I want to save paper and space so I would prefer to print all by default 2. sided regardless if from table, mobile or mac.

Please let me know if it is possible and if possible how to setup duble side printing by default at the printer level or lets say as general default option.

 

Best Regards

Luke

A warm welcome to HP Support Community!

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

1.) On your Mac, 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 at the center of the dialog. Click Two-Sided and select 

Long-Edge binding (Portrait), or Long-Edge binding (landscape).

 

4.) Click Print.

Once the print job is complete, these settings will be set as default for future print jobs until you select a new preset or change settings.

You can also save your settings for future print jobs by creating a new Preset, click the Presets menu, and then select Save Current Settings as Preset.

 

Use the following steps to enable two sided printing on your iOS devices:

1.) Open the document you want to print, and then tap the Share icon  or  .

2.) Tap Print or the Print icon .

3.) On the Printer Options menu, tap Select Printer, and then select your printer from the list.

4.) Touch Options and enable Double-Sided

 

If you are using HP Smart App, then use the steps available below to disable two sided printing:

1.)  Open HP Smart App, touch Print Document.
3.) Select the document that you want to print.
4.) Touch the Settings icon located on top right.
5.) Scroll the icons at the bottom from right to left to view more options, then select Two Sided.

6.) Touch On.

Let me know how it goes!
