If it's not a D, DN or X then you only have a manual option.

HP's printers work like this

D = Duplex
T = Tray (additional tray)
N = Network
W = Wireless
X = All (exc. Wireless)

ok manual is fine but what do i select so that it prints out in order? it prints the last page first so when i manually place the pages face down they dont match up

chrwil

You'd need to print a page at a time. File>Print and then select current page. Print it off and then when it comes out you will need to put it in the paper tray the correct way round and then go to the next page and repeat the process.

im being really stupid but if i want to print 20 pages out i have to select every two pages separately to print off double sided?

chrwil

No, you'd need to print off just 1 page, then when the page comes out, put it back the opposite way round and then print off the next page. It could get quite tedious!

why do they create !!!! things like this? why the hell would anyone want to do that? my previous printed worked fine adn it was older! all im trying to do is save teh environment gah!

Quite simply you get what you pay for. The fact your older printer did it is irrelevent. Buy budget and get missing features.

No in the manual case, you would print even pages first then odd pages

1. Print "even numbered" pages, as each page comes out lay them blank side face down somewhere. Lay all the other prints the same way on top of the first one.
2. Place the pile in the printer tray, blank side facing up/down - top of page toward/away printer (depends on what side your printer prints on).
3. Now print "odd numbered" pages.

You'll have to do a few test prints to orient yourself with which way to put the paper in, so that it comes out the right way from the printer.

In Word there are options to print in a manual duplex friendly, so you don't have to flip each page face down yourself - you can print odd pages in reverse order.
