Use AirPrint to print from your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


When using AirPrint, the available print options - including duplex options and page size - are advertised by your printer. When using the print dialogue on your iPad, you can only select from the advertised options.


If duplex (double-side) printing has previously been working with your Apple devices, check to see if your printer has an available firmware update. You may be able to perform the update from the printer's own controls - or by using the printer manufacturer's printing App.


By example, HP’s AirPrint printers can be managed by using the HP App (downloadable from the Apple App Store) - or by accessing the printer's built-in web-server using a web browser. Check your printer documentation for information.
