HP Laserjet P2035n is set to print double-sided, but I can't change it in the preferences

Last week i downloaded and printed a PDF file. Since then, my HP Laserjet 2035n is set to print double-sided. Here are the details.
I'm running an HP Pavilion Laptop with Windows 7 Home.
The printer is set up as a network printer.
When I try to print something, it stops after one page waiting for me to re-feed the paper manually to print on the other side.
It's only this laptop that's messed up. My other computer prints fine
When I go to Printers, right click on the 2035n, and select "Printer Properties" and look at the bottom of the General tab, it reads under Features "Double Sided: Yes"
If I then click 'Preferences..." and go to the Finishing tab, under Document Options, the box "Print On Both Sides (Manually)" box is unchecked.
Here's what I've tried:
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the printer
I reinstalled the printer drivers
I have tried reinstalling under a different name
Any suggestions? Can someone tell me where the printer preferences file is so I can manually delete it then reinstall the printer drivers? Is there a tool for the P2035N to uninstal EVERYTHING related to it?
Thanks.

Hi,
Please try the following settings:
Right click the printer icon, then click Printer Properties.
Click the Device Settings tab.
At the very bottom, uncheck the Allow Manual Duplexing option.
Now try printing and check for any change.
Please let me know of any change,
Shlomi

  • Hp Color Laserjet pro M177fw won't print double sided anymore

    Hello.   I have a Hp Color Laserjet pro M177fw until about three weeks ago it would print double sided no problems.  I have used this printer on my pc and now my mac with no problems previously.  I am running a Macbook Pro (less then six months old) which is running 10.10.1 (Yosemite).  I attend college and I know at the end of last quarter during finals week (Dec. 15th) I still had the ability to do 2 sided printing.  Sometime between then and the new quarter starting last monday I lost the ability to do 2 sided printing.  After scouring the internet I have tried everything they suggest:
    Uninstalling printer and reinstalling
    resetting the printer setting on the mac and then reinstalling printer
    resetting the printer settings on mac, rebooting and then reinstalling printer
    installing older drivers( hp automatically installs newest drivers even if you use an older driver file)
    resetting physical printer to factory default and reconnecting to wireless network.
    repairing the disk permissions
    The only new software I have installed on the computer in the last three weeks is Adobe Creative Cloud and the printing problem preexisted that installation. 

    Hi @Arboria9 ,
    I see that you are experiencing issues printing two-sided from Yosemite. I would like to help you resolve this issue.
    You have pretty much have done all the steps that I would have provided.
    Are you still able to print two-sided from the Windows computer?
    Are you missing the option to select two-sided printing in the print driver?
    Check the driver name that is installed for the printer. Make sure it shows just the printer's name.
    Click the Apple menu and then click System Preferences. Click Printers & Scanners, highlight the printer name on the left side and on the right side of the screen it should show the printer's name. (Officejet 6500)
    If the full printer name isn't listed correctly, delete it and add the printer name back in from the list. Click the - sign to delete the driver and then click the + sign to add the driver, might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name to add it in.
    How was the printer name listed?
    If you need further assistance, just let me know.
    Have a great day!
    Thank You.

  • Can a PDF be made to by default print with "flip on short edge" set if printed double-sided?

    I'm producing a 4-side, 1-sheet PDF booklet download. Our main target audience is professionals (not necessarily tech-profecient) who will download it and print it on regular office printers. Most modern office printers can print double-sided, so we expect people to print it on one sheet, fold it in the middle, and use it like that.
    This gives us a problem: the default setting for double-sided printing in Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat appears to be to flip on the long edge. For a folded booklet, this results in the centre pages printing upside down. I, personally, know how to change this setting - but our audience won't, and we've found that even within our own tightly controlled office network, the options for changing this setting are in different places for different people - so giving everyone who downloads it instructions on how to change the setting will be difficult. I'm tech profecient enough to confidently poke around in the various printer settings dialogs until I find it, but most of our audience won't be, and many people will get it wrong even with basic guidance telling them what to look for.
    The "Flip on long edge" default appears to be based on the assumption that printed documents are to be held and read portrait, regardless of how they are printed. Is there any way to set a PDF to instruct Adobe Reader etc that this document is to be read landscape (or, folded), so that it can know to flip on the short edge by default for this particular document?
    I'm not fussy about what software I use to create or edit the PDF. I'm using InDesign at the moment but will happily use Acrobat, or even hack the code of the PDF with a text editor, if that's what makes it work. I'm asking on the Adobe Reader board since it's not so much a question of how to set this, as whether there is anything in Adobe Reader that is actually capable of interpreting and acting on such information from a PDF.
    Another type of answer that could solve my problem is, is there some universal way to set "Flip on short edge" where the steps the user follows are the same regardless of whether they are using Reader or Acrobat, PC or Mac, and regardless of specific printer drivers or printer software?

    Hello antuan333,
    At this point ePrint does not support duplexing (double-sided) printing. ePrint is continually receiving updated features on a daily basis and hopefully this option will be available in the future but not presently.

  • Printing double sided odd number of pages

    I have Adobe Reader 10.0.2 instalied on my iMac running Mac OS 10.6.7 with a Canon Pixma iP4200 printer. Since installing this version of Reader I have come across a curious problem with printing PDF files double sided with an odd number of pages.
    For example, a three page PDF file printed double sided. The first page prints first, then pages 2 and 3 print double sided. This leaves a blank page on the reverse side of page 1 which is INCORRECT and has me puzzled. Normal double sided printing should have pages 1 and 2 back to back and page 3 with a blank page on the reverse.
    All my other software on my iMac prints an odd numbered file double sided correctly. It is only Reader 10.0.2 that has this problem and would appreciate a solution.
    Have I found a bug in the Reader software?.
    Regards
    Peter AKA DaftBrush

    Hello
    I specially created a PDF of three pages with no page breaks or section breaks. The problem still persists no matter what way I set the printing order of the pages, that is automatic, normal or reverse when double sided printing. The same file in MS Word format prints perfectly.
    My only solution at the moment is to add a blank page at the end of a PDF document that has an odd number of pages.
    I would like to know if I have discovered a bug in Adobe Reader and is there a fix that I can download to solve the problem.
    Regards

  • How can I get my HP 6525 to print double-sided?

    When I try to print from a Word Document, I do not get the choice to print double-sided. How can I make that happen?

    Do you get an option for two-sided printing in other programs?  What is your operating system?  
    The driver may need to have the duplexer set as "installed", see the Vista/Win 7 Duplex Printing Troubleshooting Guide here.

  • Extra margins when printing double sided

    I'm using Word 2007 and have created recipe cards using a basic recipe templete in Word. I have the top margin set to .25 and I'm printing on a regular 8x11 piece of card stock (I want to simply cut the sides and bottom down to make a 4x6 index card).
    However, the margin is printing at almost .75 when I print double sided. Any help would greatly appreciated! I've been working on this problem for two days and I bought the printer to print both sides.
    Thanks!

    Did you ever figure this out? Because my C309g changes my margins when I print double sided, and I can't find any info on it anywhere...!

  • Printing double sided yosimite

    I am trying to print double sided but although when I click on the layout option, I see the Two-Sided option with Off set.  It is dimmed out so that I cannot click on it to set it to yes.
    I tried going into printers and scanners and doing it there but there is no option for this (see image below).  Please can anyone help?
    I have a Canon LBP7110Cw printer

    in system preferences, I go to printers & scanners, then click on the printer I want then go to options and supplies (see images). 
    Then I get the window that had a chioce of General, Supply Levels, Utility.  General doesn't have the options, Supply levels is about the ink and the Utility gives the windown below:
    When I click on the 'open printer utility' nothing happens.  The OK and CANCEL are not highlighted or clickable.  I believe this is where I set it up for double printing but can't as the option isn't selectable.
    Other methods in the 'print' for a document, as earlier described don't work either.

    Hi
    I'm trying to print double sided and i can't. I don't have the options tab in the printer and scanner menu. Please can someone help?
    Sam

    It seems to me the way one prints double sided is dependent on your specific printer.
    For example, with my Epson Workforce 645, I need to change "Safari" (or whatever shows up here, depending on the application being printed from) to "Layout".  Then I get to see all the double-sided print options:

  • Can't print double-sided on my HP printer (laserjet CP2025)

    I have owned an HP laptop and printer (color laserjet CP 2025) for about one year. When I purchased the printer it said that the printer was not compatible with Windows 7 - I did not know this before i purchased the printer. I had to reset my computer recently and now do not  have the ability to print double-sided.  The printer works but I cannot print double-sided unless I manually insert the pages.  I had the ability to print double-sided before I reset the computer.  HELP! this is the most frustrating experience and I am hesitant to purchase another HP product because OF THIS BAD EXPERIENCE.  When under warranty I was able to contact HP and received information on how to get the printer to be fully functional, I can't do that now.  Does anyone know how to get this function working? Please help.

    For the cp2025, if you have the duplex model (has d in the model name) then this document will help you re-set the printer when using the Unversial Print Driver. Make sure you read the document all the way through and pay sepecial attention to the notes as they explain the process in relation to this product. Please check it out...

  • LaserJet 1015 on Win 7 (32-bit) won't print double-sided

    I was always able to print double sided on XP without any problem. But after I got a new PC with Windows 7 Professional, 32-bit (with driver from win 7 itself), it would no print double-sided anymore, even though I checked the option for it in the printer option dialog box. Even the on screen reminder to instruct you to take out the papers and re-enter them for printing the other side doesn’t appear anymore. The manual double sided printing' checkbox in the driver dialog is now totally useless.  Please help.

    Have the same problem with a LaserJet 1150... did manual double-sided printing fine in Windows XP, but when the computer was upgraded to Win7 64-bit, it prints single-sided every time, even when you select the options for double-sided, and the Continue button does not appear. Has anyone found a fix for this?  I've tried all sorts of configurations in the driver properties/preferences.

    Since I starting using my MacMini (2011 version) I have not been able to print double sided from my HP Photosmart plus - there is no option for this in the Printer dialog box as there was in the similar dialog box on my PC. How do I set up this option?

    1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
    OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
    Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
    Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
    Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
    Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
    How much free space on it now?

  • I would like to set my preferences so that documents always print double-sided without having to click anything other than "print".

    I'm trying to set my preferences so that all documents print double-sided automatically without my having to remember to click the "Print on both sides of paper" button.  I print literally thousands of PDF files!  Duplexed.  How do I set this as a preference?  PS: I work on a MAC OS X and I have Adobe Acrobat X 10.1.12.

    I'm not trying to set the printer preferences, I'm trying to set the
    Adobe Acrobat Printer defaults.  If I don't click on "Print on both
    sides of paper" in the Acrobat Print box, then that overrides my printer
    default and prints the document single sided.  In the "good old days" I
    just chose "Duplex" under "Advanced" and then Acrobat would
    automatically duplex all my print jobs until I chose otherwise.  Now,
    duplex is not an option under Advanced....  I was hoping it had just
    been moved elsewhere.
