My HP Desk Jet 840C Printer only prints on one side of the paper. How can I set it to print on front and back?

There is no duplexer for that particular model. The only way to achieve 2 sided printing is to print on one side. Reload the already printed paper and print on the other.My HP Desk Jet 840C Printer only prints on one side of the paper. How can I set it to print on front and back?
Thanks guys,


the printer has printed double sided in the past,many times.all the odd pages then on screen notify to turn over and re insert to print even number sides but it don't do that any more.Will have to try manual selection and feed. Report Abuse

Is it a duplex printer?
if it's supposed to print on both sides at once i don't know but try putting the paper into the paper dock with the writing, pic, etc up and then print the rest onto that side
most printers only print on one side, you would have to buy a printer that prints both sides simultaneously in order to print both sides, otherwise, you need to turn your paper over to print the other side.
go into your printer settings like when you are about to print from word then you can configure it if not try turning the paper over
If you are printing files from the Internet then opt for the PDF versions if available Get Adobe Acrobat Reader (free from Adobe.co.uk) down load it and install it. This allows you to print PDF files with various options, one of which is printing Odd or Even pages first, and last page first. Print odd pages with last page first, turn them over, print even pages. Adobe sell a PDF writer to convert your own files, tho' may be pricey.


Your printer prints odd %26amp; even. see manual or HP site. Wilbour
I had one of them and unless you got a duplex unit as the lady said you're gonna have to turn the page over and put it back in yourself .

go into properties for the printer and if it is capable, you'll have print on both side check box
Most printers that I know have only the option of printing on one side if you are trying to double side something print them out then use a photocopier that has this ability otherwise I feel you can only flip over the page look through the manual I'm not sure of this printers ability so read the manual this should help clarify any questions if not go to the HP customer service web page or click on help in your printers properties page I hope this helps.
