How do i print something double sided? the computer won't let me change the default settings or turn "two sided" on.

I need to print a paper double sided, but eveytime i go to the print options i can't change the setting to turn the "two sided" on. I don't think its a problem with the printer either.

If your printer doesn't do two sided printing (most don't) print the odd pages first, then flip the paper over and print the even pages. You will have to experiment to see how to flip the paper.


I do it by printing page 1, then flipping page one over and putting it back into the paper tray.

Then I print pages 2 and 3.

Remove the the completed page 1 and 2.

Flip page 3 over and print pages 4 and 5.

Repeat the process until you are done.
