Get the latest driver for your printer, or if you have the latest, see if going back a version helps.

This is really weird. Changing the print settings as per this guideline fixed the problem but I still got prompted about &quot;changing the paper&quot; from the printer - even though it just did the duplex printing... However I am delighted to get that solved- thank you :-)

I am using a Brother MFC L2720 DW - which has a duplex printing feature. I am using Word 365 and I can only get it to print in automatic duplex if I save the document as a PDF - otherwise if I just want to print my Word document in duplex I have to manually turn the pages...any suggestions?

Word document not printing in duplex with Brother printer

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.

Printers and Scanners

A Portable Document Format (PDF) is a file format consisting of an electronic image resembling a printed document and can be viewed, printed, and electronically transmitted. PDF files can store various types of data, including formatted text, vector graphics, and raster images. The page layout defines the location, size, and shape of each page and each item on the page. The information looks the same no matter what device or program is used to open it.

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
