Does this printer print on both sides of the paper automatically (i.e. you don't have to manually flip the pages)?

It does not, alas, but it's marvelously efficient in most other capacities. Hope that helps at least a little bit in your decision-making process.

If you're willing to use a manual technique and you use Windows (not a Mac) then the driver supports two-sided printing with a manual step. It's super easy. Just tell the print driver you want it double sided, print it, then grab the stack of paper printed, drop it into the new paper tray the same way you removed it from the top of the printer, and hit the continue button on the printer. Works perfectly. All pages are in the correct sequence and orientation.

Yes, but not automatically. You'll have to turn the paper over and then print the other side. There are on-screen guides to tell you when to do this.

I use Windows XP with this printer. The printer does print both sides at the same time. It is a wonderful machine.

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

Absolutely. Every time you print there is a check box that asks "2 sided printing on/off?" Its part of the standard print dialogue screen for all computer printers, across platforms, not just this one. Since the 1980's if I'm not mistaken. For further research Google "Guggenheim Press" and look up the definition for the word "BOOK." When you're ready, got to any still-standing large socialist book rental agency, called "public library" they might have more info on this "2 sided printing" dilemma as well!

You just tell it in properties to print on both side and it does it. It is not manual you just indicate you want two sided printing, you can read the manual. I us it a lot because it saves a lot of paper. We have two of these printers and they work flawless wired or wireless. They are fairly easy on ink and the ink is very reasonable on Amazon. We love our MP560's.

I only had mine printed on one side but my understanding is you can have printing on both sides whether the same info on both or different info on each. Hope this helps.

YES it does print on both sides. But don't buy a Kodak printer. The print heads dry up very quickly and the inks don't last. This Kodak printer is JUNK.Buy an EPSON

It does print double-sided, I love this feature because it saves on paper. I don't know why the description says "no." This is a great Printer, I've had it a couple of years and love it. The main paper tray holds a good amount of paper, and it has another tray that pulls out if you want to change the paper stock for a Print Job. Laser Printers are great, I would never go back to an Ink Jet. ALC

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.

Some of the pages are thicker than others. So, the possibility of printing on both sides depends on how many thick pages you get. However, keep in mind that the paper itself is very fragile. If you are going to print double-side, wait for a good amount of time after printing one side to print the other. I hope this helps!

I just printed my first double-sided document the other day and it was surprising how great it worked. You don't have to do anything--just say you want double-sided pages, and away it goes. I *love* this printer.

Yes! On your computer just choose double sided when printing. For more info on it please check out my unboxing and review of it on YouTube at: http://youtu.be/Mz5-N9BlE3U?a.

Works effortlessly... perfectly... when you select "print" there is a"PREFERENCES" option to click on...Click on that, and several options appear, one of which is "duplex printing".... click on that..then PRINT... the one side prints, there is a ten second pause and that page is retracted into the printer and the second side of same paper is printed...

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.

No. It says it is, but it doesn't print on both sides of the paper automatically.

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.
