How to Print Double Sided for HP DeskJet 2800 Series Printer

This guide explains how to print on both sides of a page when using your HP DeskJet 2800 series printer. Since this model does not support automatic double-sided printing, you will need to know how to manually reload the paper correctly to avoid misalignment when double-sided printing.

Ensure That:

1. Your printer is connected to your device. This can be done either wirelessly via the HP Smart app or through a USB Printer Cable (USB-A to USB-B if working with a PC).
2. You have HP 67 Printing Ink and printer paper loaded inside the printer.
3. Your device is on the same Wi-Fi network as the printer if you are connecting wirelessly.

Step 1: Adjust the Printing Settings

1.1. Open the print menu by pressing Ctrl + P

1.2. Set the orientation to Portrait orientation

1.3. Under the two-sided printing setting, select “manually print on both sides”. If that is not an option, hit “flip on long edge” instead

Step 2: Print the First Side

2.1. Click the Print button when you are ready to begin printing.

2.2. Allow the first side to print before proceeding.

2.3. A pop-up notification should appear on your device’s screen; do not push anything just yet.

Step 3: Reload and Print Second Side

3.1. Take the printed pages and flip them over while maintaining the same orientation (in other words: do not turn it upside down)

3.2. Place them back into the paper tray
