What If

BOTH PAGES PRINTED ON ONE SIDE OF THE PAPER

You put the paper print side down when you replaced it in the printer. Print your document again, paying special attention to the instructions on your screen.

THE INK SMEARED

The ink might not have dried completely, so wait a bit longer before you print the second side. You can shorten drying times by reducing the quality of the printing— for example, change from Normal to EconoFast print quality on the Setup tab of the HP print settings box.
