Product: HP OfficeJet Pro 8740 All-in-One Printer series
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have a Office Jet Pro 8740.  MY officejet pro 8500 909g,  THAT BROKE, PRINTED ON BOTH SIDES WITHOUT HAVING TO TURN THE PAPER MANUALLY.  I thought this "Up grade 8740" would do the same.  NOOO!!! I am wasting a great deal of paper and cards because I have to turn manually, and I flip wrong, and the card is printed upside down on the second page. You have to turn the card upside down to read the second side.  Am I doing something wrong? Is there a way to print on the 8740 without flipping the page manually? Shouldn'n this machine be doing better not worse than an older model. If I had known this I would have gotten a different model, or repeated the 8500.  It said double sided printing but fail to say it had to be turned manually. Any suggestion as to how I can do this without wasting tons of paper and cards?
