Duplex Printing Bug with HP OfficeJet Pro L7680

Well - Duplex printing works but the back page will only print with binding on the top, Binding on the side does not work! Minor bug but still a bug at least with the HP!!

Kev,
A couple of points - assuming your using the HP OfficeJet Printer - I am assuming your connecting it via the Ethernet point which means it is communicating via IP. That being said - here is what I ran into.
When I first added the HP Printer - Leopard wanted to configure the printer via BONJOUR. I went ahead and let it do that - however printing was terrible!!!! I could send jobs to the printq, but the only way they would print was if I turned the printer on/off again - and the the would magically start printing. Then the printer would go "offline" and I was forced to do this same on/off routine.
So - I went back into add printers - and let the dialog box sit there for a little while and all of the sudden the list updated with an HP2A7180 - Kind - IP. I selected this printer and then told it to use the HP driver via the Print Using - drop down selector and my HP has been working fine since (minus the duplex).
Additionally it installed an configuration utility which allows me to monitor inks, settings and such.
Hope this helps - Bill

  • Iphone e print/air print issues with HP Officejet Pro 8500 Premier All-in-One A909n

    I downloaded the 4.2 upgrade for iphone thinking I would be able to print from my HP Officejet Pro 8500 Premier All-In-One A909n.  I have upgraded the HP firmware.  I have turned my printer on and off.  I get an error message that says "No printer found."  I am not able to contact HP due to my warranty being expired--even though I bought the extended warranty from the store.  Please help.  Thanks!

    This printer is listed here:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01619067&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&product=3857218#N46...
    has offering eprint.  However, some community messages say that it does not work.
    I have not been able to get an email address set up for the printer, or to figure out whether or not it is web services enabled.  
    It does not have the icon on the touch screen that is shown in the hp instructions.
    Any clues out there?

  • Problems with HP Officejet Pro L7680

    I bought this machine used and immediatly had "jibberish one or two line printing" in MS Windows 7.  Tried a new usb cable, hard reset, complete driver removal and reinstall, and setup reset on printer.  No change in behavior.  I then installed Ubuntu 13.10 operating system. Printing text..perfect.  Printing photos..perfect.  I have not tried the fax portion as I have no need for faxing.  So IMHO the problem is ....MS Windows 7.  Since this is an older Officejet Printer I don't believe Microsoft will be addressing the problem except by suggesting a new printer.  HP is ditto on that.

    Hello ,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I would have to agree that the issue is within Microsoft Windows 7 regarding the printing issue with the Officejet L7780. Since the printer will print fine when using Ubuntu, it would appear there is an issue with the drivers and or software on Windows 7.
    Have you tried using the Print and Scan Dr? This will look into the drivers, software, etc on the computer and attempt to resolve on its own. Let me know what the results are when you run it.
    You could try the steps in this HP guide: Installing an Alternate Print Driver in Windows 7 for a USB Cable Connection. The L7780 does not display in the document but it will work with the Deskjet 9800 driver.
    I hope this helps,

  • Duplex Printing on a HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 Wireless Printer

    Duplex printing - 1.  How do you change the settings to make the printer print on both sides of a single sheet of paper?
                             2.  How do you change the settings to make the printer print on both sides of a single sheer of paper and
                                  when it prints the backside of the sheet it rotates the text so that when you read the text you FLIP it
                                  up vertically to read the backside rather than just turning the over to read the text on the backside.
    I thought I knew the answer to this question - but yesterday when I printed an Owner's Manual for a friend the printer printed 10 sheets that you had to FLIP the sheet over to read the text on the other side (Note: FLIP was not "X"'d.  Then when I printed again I changed the setting so that FLIP was "X"d and it printed with the orientation that I needed (just turn the sheet over to read the text  on the backside of the sheet).
    NO instructions about "Printer Settings" came with the printer so I am in the dark about "HOW TO" things.  As I said before I thought I need how to do it - but it performed exactly backwards as I had thought,,,Have I got TOO old to remember HOW TO set up settings?  Would appreciate help with this and where I can do to get info about HP Printer Settings.  Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    I assume you are using Windows 7
    For 1)
    Click Start. Go to "Devices and Printers".
    Double Click on the printer icon.
    Click Customize Printer
    Click Preference
    Select "Print on both sides" and select "Flip on long Edge"
    For 2)
    Repeat the same steps but select "Flip on short Edge"
    You can find the same preferences when you click on preferences on the print menu (Ctrl + P)

  • Current update has intermittent problem of printing gibberish with HP Officejet Pro 8500. No problems before most recent update.

    Even in Print Preview will show as gibberish--and print as gibberish. If repeatedly open document to print, suddenly it Previews & Prints correctly.

    Have you moved the paper guides to properly align the envelopes?  I do not see how envelopes can be loaded in any position but the center with the paper guides set snugly.  See page 42 (46) of the manual here.  Also, if you have the optional second paper tray note that envelopes are not supported in it, you need to use the top tray.

  • Can't clear a .ppt print job on an OfficeJet Pro L7680, attached to a Lenovo PC w Win7 32-bit

    I was printing a .ppt print job that aborted and didn't complete.  I tried to delete the print job. I tried to reset the printer.  I turned the printer off/on.  I took the printer offline/online.  The print job won't clear and although I can submit new print jobs, the printer can't print anything else (because of the .ppt job that can't be cleared).   I was using the HP Solutions Center (HP print utility on my laptop)) and Windows print tools.  Any thoughts on what I can do to clear this print job?

    Delete the printer in Control Panel as it appears it is hung up (if there is more than one instance of it, delete them all).
    Next, re-add the printer in this manner:
    1. Make sure the printer is turned on and connected to your network. Verify that you can access the printer's internal web page by browsing to its IP address before continuing.
    2. Click >> Start >> Control panel >> Devices & Printers.
    3. Click the Add a printer
    4. Select Local printer
    5. Select Create a new port and select Standard TCP/IP Port and click Next button.
    6. Under Device type, select TCP/IP Device. Under Hostname or IP address, enter the printer's IP address. Click Next.
    7. Select Hewlett-Packard from the list of manufacturers and select and select your printer model. Click Next.
    If your printer model was not listed, then select Have Disk, browse the HP CD that came with your printer and select the first file that starts with hp and ends with inf. Click Open then OK. Select your printer model. Click Next.
    8. If you are asked, use the currently installed driver.
    9. It will ask for the Printer name -- enter a new name or use the existing one. This will be the name of the printer that you select from other applications.
    10. You may be asked to share the printer. Choose NO.
    11. The Print Test Page box appears. Go ahead and print it.
    12. Click Finish.

  • Since update HP Officejet Pro L7680 printer work with Windows 7 I have an HP busy icon

    HP Officejet Pro L7680. Serial #[removed for privacy] . Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium.
    The install seems to have worked well, but there is now an HP busy icon in mid-screen for the past 24 hours. Can I get rid of it? I've tried evrything but a re-boot and don't want to do that if it will interupt a process.

    I have the same issue with my OJ 6500 (network connected).  And I've been just been sent on a wild goose chase to install the support assistant - which didn't actually resolve my issue.  When I go directly to the drivers, it recognizes my OS as Windows 10, but doesn't give me a matching driver package to download... How/when will this be resolved? Does anyone have a workaround?If I knew that my printer/scanner doesn't work anymore I certainly wouldn't have upgraded to Windows 10.  Win 8.1 wasn't perfect, but at least everything worked... Thanks for any suggestions!

  • Can hp officejet pro l7680 print using dp-g310 print server

    hello.  I'm trying to set up my hp L7680 all-in-one printer to print wirelessly using the dlink dp-G310 print server, but I keep getting the following message:"your computer appears to be configured correctly, but the device, or resource(192.168.0.10) is not responding."  First, can anyone tell me if what I'm trying to do is possible, and second, how to do it.
    Thanks.

    This seems like the same problem I have with the OfficeJet Pro 8500 I purchased today. I bought this to replace the OfficeJet 5510 which completely stopped working once the upgrade was made to Snow Leopard.
    I can print perfectly ok from the computers we have (all running Snow Leopard) over an ethernet network but when I try to send a document as a fax, the "send fax" button in the print dialog box just remains grey.
    I have rebooted the computers, rebooted the OfficeJet and re-installed the HP software - all with no change or improvement.
    Maybe I have lost the plot like CdaveC and need some pointers.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
