HP Laserjet 1300 Manual Double Sided Printing with Windows 7
I just purchased a new laptop with windows 7, love the interface but have some hiccups here and there. And the one that is the biggest pain is printing. I have a HP Laserjet 1300 connected via a linksys print server. Single sided printing works just fine, but I used to be able to (and still can from my work laptop running XP and from my wifes Laptop running Vista Home) print double sided manually. But now even though it says duplex, it will not work and I think the Windows Driver believes that it is a duplexer attached to the printer verses a manual feature. Any ideas on how to get my manual double sided printing back?
Nice one...
I found you can also modify the "Manual Duplex Help" section to provide instructions to the user while duplex printing :
The following prn_grp displays pictures similar to the Laserjet 1300 and has the right procedure (take the printed pages and place them in the same orientation in the tray) :
<prn_grp models="HP LaserJet 1300;HP LASERJET 1300N;c5c5f890996e5fc5d7ffd96f8c759f2d ;555a2593970cf8b77ec5e1c722373e36 ;065e3643626aa153eb624120e21031cc ;5541b14acbc6bb39fefc0967181142e0 ;e6885ab28dbc6e127ae4963acf4d8ccc ;8f6b80f605bb593212acd699c0516d06 ;1d9e0f01c72b2d0001e58751826b42ac ;f77381023eb218bd6c75fbb5cd55337e ;8da5efe243e316c3fbd7ccd09d330f48 ;60caa8832f86a2502a3e4f31c6aa82f5 ;d1eb75d092f98ee058366d6d32b1c5d1 ;acb248ba464fba4feeac598ee070e4da;25b289c5a1af52c4c30c70e60d6a5486;

<option name="InstructionID_03_FACEDOWN-NOROTATE" value="BitmapID_231_StringID_3065"/>
</fname>
</prn_grp>
More importantly, I was also able to modify the hpcu1306.xml file to enable full 1200 dpi support, by adding the following prn_grp at the end of the "Print Quality" section (after the hp LaserJet 9040 prn_grp and before the closing "</feature>")
<prn_grp models="HP LaserJet 1300;HP LASERJET 1300N;">
<fname name="PrintQualityGroup" default="PQGroup_4">
<option name="PQGroup_2"/>
<option name="PQGroup_4"/>
<option name="PQGroup_5"/>
</fname>
</prn_grp>
NB : PQGroup_2 is for 600 dpi, PQGroup_4 is for FastRes 1200 dpi (fast) and PQGroup_5 is for ProRes 1200 dpi (finer, slower, more memory used).
The modified hpcu1306.xml file is available here : http://pastebin.com/6UxtcSaZ

Deskjet 930c does not do double sided printing with windows 7
We have just obtained a new machine with Windows 7 and connected the existing Deskjet 930c via a usb cable.
Under windows XP it was possible to select double sided printing and a prompt was displayed on the screen to turn the paper round.
This is not happening under windows 7. Is there something we have not done? Or is it not possible any more.
It does go through the motion of double sided printing but does not stop to change the paper.
Any ideas anyone - we do a lot of double sided printing and we hav spent hours trying to sort this out.Please look at the HP Support page,
http://h10010.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00098827&lc=ja&dlc=ja&cc=jp
Unfortunately, I could not find an equivalent page in English. This is for Win XP and Vista, but I checked
that a similar logic can be applied to Windows 7, too.
step 1 to 3 is to show property of the printer Deskjet9xxC.
step 4 is to select device setting tab
step 5: change "installable option" from "uninstalled" to "already installed"
step 6: OK
step 7: select print setting
step 8: select layout tab, and choose either long edge or short edge
that is all.
In my Japanese Windows 7 environment, when I double-click the "HP DeskJet 930C/932C/935C" icon, there are three sub items appeared. Two out of these three were used in the above steps.
Please try.

How do I use the double sided printing with my HP Officejet 6500A plus
I need help with learning to use the double sided printing with my HP Officejet 6500A Plus
Click on the Show Details button just above:
You can configure various options from the dropdown menu just below Orientation.
Printing two-sided requires a two-sided adaptor for the printer. Otherwise, you have to print out odd numbered pages first, turn them over and reinsert into the paper feeder, then print even numbered pages. If you do it right you get a nice two-sided document. If you do it wrong all the even numbered pages will be upside down. -

Double sided printing with Adobe XI
I have asked many times but don't get an answer. Do you have any staff or "experts", as you put it, who will answer my question?
It appears we are simply screwed by HP who designed this printer to use up as much ink as possible and not allow you to use black only no matter what is said. Tons of complaints and no anwers. Better do some research before buying next time and do not consider HP, they apparently lie about capabilities and blame the consumer when questioned. My 6500 is the worst printer I have ever had. I had to take color photos to CVS to get good copies at 4 bucks each and it simply won't print double sided with black only anymore. Scanner never worked, well it did once and wireless doesn't work either.
If there is a way to make double sided print in black only on a PC, 64 bit with Windows 7 Home Edition, let me know.

Manual double sided printing in Pages
I'm VERY new to Pages and have created my first document. I don't really know if this is a Pages question or a printer issue. When I choose print for my document, it automatically prints all pages. How do I set things up so only one page prints at a time? I want to do manual two-sided printing on an HP Photosmart 2400 series. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The print dialog box is pretty uniform throughout OSX.
To do manual two sided printing look in the print dialog box for the options to print only odds or evens and experiment which direction you need to turn and stack your paper so that it comes out in the end, two sided and in the right order. -
HP Officejet 6700 Premium double sided printing with Word
I have a new HP Officejet 6700 Premium printer. When printing a pdf the double sided printing option works. When printing from Word, it does not. Can you tell me what settings I need to change to make this happen?
Hi,
From Word click on File and then select Print. the print dialog appears.
Click the Printer Properties link. the Printing Preferences dialog appears.
Within the Layout tab, set the Print on both sides option as Flip on long edge.
Click OK to confirm the changes, than click the Print button.
Please let me know if that helps,
Shlomi

Double sided printing with 6700 e
Hi
I'm using MS office on a Mac 10.8.4
I ahve searched simialr posts, but advice given conflicts. Some say this printer will not do duplex printing. I haven't the time to do the manual odd/even pages workaround, I print docs with many pages, it's too much of an inconvenience.
This printer WILL print double sided, but the option to do so only comes up when printing pdf files. Opening Word files up in pdf preview will print double sided, but the back pages are upside down. Pdfs don't do this, they duplex properly. Trying to print Word files won't even show the two sided option.
I can't find the printer properties box to investigate, and when opening the printer device, it doesn't have a driver tab, which was one fix another post suggested.
This question was solved.
View Solution.Ok - for the benefit of others, and I've seen a swag of posts about this very issue with Macs, I found a solution. It is a driver issue, HP sould be aware of this, and not fob people off about it being a Word-related software issue
(I had previously already downloaded latest drivers from HP, that never worked, only the 1.0 driver installed each time.)
First, I updated my Mac OSX software (may not be neccessary).
Then I added the printer again with HP Setup.
When it asks for how to install device - with Airprint or 6700, I selected 6700. I believe this installs with different drivers.
Now when I open my printer queue, instead of the driver version showing as 1.0, as per other reinstall attempts, driver are now 4.1.2
Now to print in Word, go to the layout submenu in print preview, and select long side binding
Prints on both sides with correct operintation. -
Laserjet 2200 dn - won't print with windows 7
Have just bought a new system with Windows 7 and Office 2010 and don't seem to be able to get my printer to work.
Printer is a Laserjet 2200dn, connected via a USB.
The system recognises the printer as a HP Laserjet 2200 PCL5, however, when I try and print, the print queue shows "print error". No way of identifying what the print error was.
Windows has not told me that it couldn't find a driver so I presume that it did.
Can anybody tell me how to get the printer to Print?i have the exact same problem- i've even tried loading all 3 of the recommended drivers and using each-
even the original driver cd doesnt work- when it tries to install itself, it gets a "severe error" and quits.
have you gotten this thing to work at all?
i think the issue has to be with windows 7- the printer works with all of my other computers (of various op systems) -
Two-sided printing with Windows 7
After installing Windows 7 on a network computer my officejet L7680 prints the same page on both sides of a 2 sided document. I cannot get it to print the 2nd page on the back side if I want more then 1 copy. If I print just one copy the printer prints both side correct but when I ask for 2 or more copies it print the same page on both sides.
I have it set up as two-sided copy. Automatically. What am I missing?The driver typically defaults to the duplexer being "not installed". See here for information on enabling the duplexer.

HP Photosmart D7160 printer could it be fitted with a double sided print unit?
I only need to know if my HP Photosmart D7160 printer was made with the provision of or could it be fitted with a double sided print unit.? If I had got the answer I would have purchased the required part.
i have been searching the HP web site on and off for the last four years for the answer to this question only to find myself going round in circles without ever getting any practical answer. If and when HP have the courage to answer the question
and the answer is what I think it will be I will take the printer back whence it came from and demand a refund in full!
I have just tried a spell check and the website doesn't recognised the name/number of HP manufactured equipment that is clearly printed on the front cover and when I instal HP print cartriges HP tell me I have been a good boy.Page 9 of the user manual indicates there is an optional accessory for double side printing. The data sheet here indicates that (in the US) the part number is:
HP ph5582 Two-sided Printing Accessory
Q5582A

A Google search turns up a number of offerings.

HP ColorLaserjet 2600n-Two-sided printing with Snow Leopard
Hi,
I have a question relating to double-sided printing. I have a HP Color LaserJet 2600n. Two-sided printing worked fine for me with Leopard. Since I updated to Snow Leopard (now I have version 10.6.4) the two-sided printing options in the printing dialogue are disabled (greyed out). I use the printerdriver 1.3.0.261 How to enable this option again? Software update does not have any new software for my printer.
Thanks!I have this printer and the same problem. This printer does not have a hardware duplex unit, the duplex is entirely manual.
In the old driver settings, you could check off the "Two sided" checkbox (beside the Collate checkbox), and the unit will basically print off the odd pages, then after that it will pause until you take the printed pages and put it back in the tray, then press the Go button to initiate the print for the other side.
There is no settings (besides Tray 3) in Options and Supplies.
