I switched over from Windows to a MacBook Pro not long ago. I am using the Office 365 for Mac software, and this may turn out to be a Microsoft question, but I thought that I would start out here first. I am able to print double-sided in Excel (for Mac), but the option is not shown for Word. (I am also given the two-sided option when printing pdf documents.) I am using an HP Photosmart C 7280 All-in-One printer, and the drivers that are installed are the latest ones supplied by HP for a Mac. The printer is about eight years old, but it functions like a charm. It may be that the drivers are too old, but nothing more recent is available from HP.

Nonetheless, I don't understand why it prints double-sided for Excel, but not for Word. I was unable to paste my Print Screens into this message, although I am sure that there is a way. I do not have the screens that you showed earlier. For example, the Preview mode does not exist on my Print screen, nor does Standard under Presets. Under Presets, I have Default Settings and Last Used. Below this option, I can choose Copies and Pages, Microsoft Word, Paper Handling and other non-relevant settings. I removed the printer from System Settings, re-booted, and added it back.

Printing, Mac. On the Layout tab, in the Print Type drop-down, select 2-Sided. In Word, it's Step #5 that ensures that the second side doesn't end. Read on to learn how to print double sided on Mac with a duplex or non-duplex printer. If you want to print two sided on your Mac, you can do it using various applications such as Pages, Microsoft Word, Office, PDF files from Safari, Photos and much more.

It just may be that HP isn't updating its drivers for the older models. But why Excel spreadsheets are given the two-sided option, and not Word, is beyond me.
