No duplex option is available. The only way to duplex is manual. Meaning you have to print the first side, then turn the page over and re-insert into the printer. Then print the 2nd page onto the back of the first page. The reason this is not an option and generally you do not want to duplex on these machines is that the ink will tend to bleed thru the paper when prining on both sides of a piece of paper. You may have to use a little thincker paper to prevent this.
Good Luck and Thank You for using Fixya.

Duplex printing in HP 2420dn on Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4

According to the specs, this printer does not have a duplex unit and therefore cannot print double sided prints.
DOUBLE SIDED PRINTING USING A SINGLE SIDED PRINTER
If your printer does not have a duplex unit then the printercannot print double sided pages automatically.
You can print double sided pages but you have to do it one page at a time.
First print Page 1 then place the page back into the paper tray, but turn thepage upside down and the print Page 2.
Then print page 3 on one side then page 4 on the other side and repeat for therest of the document.
I suggest you try a test page first, to get the printing the right way up onboth sides of the page so it reads correctly.

How can double sided print

HP3350MFP - Duplex Printing/Copying


Hello, The HP3350 does not support automatic double sided printing. The HP3390/3392 printers support this option. In order to double side on the HP3350 a manual duplex will need to be conducted, which means running page 1 through the printer, flip the page over and print page 2 for the reverse side. It may be necessary to experiment a few times to achieve the proper printing orientation. You can download a copy of the users guide from the following link.

HOW DO I OBTAIN DOUBLE SIDE PRINTS?

hello,

The HP Officejet 5610 all-in-one printer does not support double sided printing. There is no duplex option available for this unit. If you need to print on both sides you would have to print one side, remove the paper and reinsert it upside down and print the next page. If you are going to be printing large amounts in duplex then you would be better off to get a new unit, look for ones where the model number end in a D, this indicates d the duplex feature.
