will this printer print on both sides of a single page

You will have to turn the paper over manually to print on the back side. I used it to print wedding invitations and included a map on the back. It really worked pretty well.

No, it does not. You have to manually turn the paper over. It does not have automatic double side printing.
1562923
Not without you you putting the paper back in upside down. Does not have an automatic duplex.
1562924
Yes. It prompts you to insert the output (the front pages) back into the feeder so it can print the back side. It guides you on how to do this. Reading the other responses on this thread, I agree this requires human intervention, but it's not a big deal. I do a lot of double-side printing. It works well. To put this in the proper perspective, this is the same process as for my more expensive HP LaserJet Color 300 which cost twice as much.

Not without you putting the paper back in upside down!(No, this printer is not duplex, and will not print on both sides on its own.)

HP's page says "manual" duplex, "driver support provided." I have no idea what that means. Perhaps that you print all odd pages, then re-insert and print even ones? Not convenient. I know from experience.

This print one sided only, but if you need to print on both sides you can just turn the card and print!!

Yes, I printed on both sides of this paper. Unfortunately the paper is rather thin which makes the print on the back visible through the front.

No it is not. Both sides are the same, which could be better because you don't have to worry you are printing on the wrong side.

I believe that it means that the printer prints on both sides of the page. It automatically 'turns and loads' the paper so it can be printed on both sides.

It does print double sided and I've printer a word document double side.But if the document is complicated with pictures, columns or tables, my experience is that the printer does A LOT of jamming.

LoveGadgets nailed it; it does not give you the option of two-sided printing when you reach the dialog box for printing a document or file. Technically, you can do double-sided if you print the even pages, go to the printer, replace them in the tray, and then print the odd pages. But I don't think that's what most people look for when asking about double-sided print capability. I just returned mine having discovered this, and having confirmed with HP support that indeed it does not have automatic two-sided (duplex) print options. So don't be fooled. http://h71016.www7.hp.com/html/pdfs/LJPro_400_Color_M451.pdf LoveGadgets nailed it; it does not give you the option of two-sided printing when you reach the dialog box for printing a document or file.

Not automatically (this is not a duplex printer, this is simplex)! If you want to print on both sides of a paper, first you should wait for one side to finish, grab the paper from the output tray and put it back into input tray to print to the other side as well.

Yes it can. When you're printing just go in the settings and look for 2 sided printing or duplex. It will be called one or the other.

Yes, you can print on either or both sides. I have been very pleased, print quality is excellent.

Hi Colette, I haven't had any problems. Printing a two-sided page automatically was the reason I purchased this printer. I didn't want to hand feed the sheet in order to print the other side. I am very happy with the purchase.

Yes, it does do double-sided printing. It's a great printer. Very happy with this product!!

Not at the same time. You have to print one page then switch the paper to print he other side.

Yes, I do not use frequently so not my default. You can select print ->print both sides (2 sided) very easy and efficient. Printer automatically feeds first printed page (side 1) back into the printer to be printed on side 2. I am extremely satisfied with the quality and performance of this printer.

Yes, it print double sided. Most program that I print I set the printer for two sides short. If you use publisher you will have to do some adjusting to document so the words can be align right.

Need the duplexer installed on the back of the printer(mine came with it in the box). Would depend on the OS print dialog, but somewhere in the printing preferences there is a place where you can specify 2-sided as default..I put long edge. But if you do not do that, when you hit "print" also there would be in the printing dialog box that comes up a way to do it for that print job usually under options or properties there would be a way to specify 2-sided for that particular print job.

I didn't print on both sides but if you can't get the text to flip, you could always run them through twice and turn the paper. More time consuming but I think it would work.
