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

 Print on both sides of the paper with an HP printer

Not all printers can automatically print duplex (2-sided).

If your printer is one of these, you must accommodate the printer's limitation and print each side manually.

AND / OR

If your printer can automatically print 2-sided, the reason might include one and more of the following:

• The printer is not aware of the (loaded) paper size / type -- Tray and Paper
• The paper size / type is not one of the supported papers for 2-sided printing
• The printer is in need of a Power Reset (unplug 60 seconds while on -- Plug in - Wait or click to power on)
• The paper size / type is OK but the paper weight is not supported in the printer and / or for 2-sided print
• The job setup is missing a setting, is not fully configured, or is in conflict with another setting.
• Windows -- Printer Properties > Tab Advanced > Driver needs to be checked / corrected to select the HP installed full driver printer software and not the IPP / Microsoft Drivers
• Duplex is not supported in the selected Tray.
