Officejet 7310 duplex printing

My printer has suddenly stopped printing duplex. It copies a document double sided ok, but won't print a document. I'm using Microsoft Word with Windows XP.
It prints page 1 starting at the top of the page and print the text to the bottom of the page and then throws out the sheet. It then prints page 2 on another sheet starting with the text at the bottom of the page and prints the text to top!!! This means I have to turn round every second sheet to get the document in order.
 The pages that I'm printing are quite full of text and include the page number and a one line footer.

Hello geoff34falmouth,
First of all make sure that the duplexer is "activated" in the driver of the printer. Go to Printers&Faxes and right click the Officejet 7310 driver (should be called something like HP Officejet 7300 series) and click on Properties. Go to the tab called Device Settings and make sure that the duplexer is set to Installed.
Second make sure that you have the correct settings in the driver when printing, so in MS Word click File - Print, make sure that the Officejet 7310 is selected and then click Properties. Make sure that duplexing or two-sided printing is selected.
Third thing you might want to check is the margins of the document that you're printing as the top/bottom margin needs to be a bit larger when using the duplexer compared to when just printing a single-sided job. Top/bottom margins should be at least 12 mm (this is due to the paper handling of the duplexer).

  • Officejet 6500 duplex printing paper jam

    Every time I run duplex printing, paper stucks inside duplexing unit. It just gets smashed.
    Is there a solution for that?

    I have just bought an OfficeJet 6500 and am also having major problems if I try to use automatic duplex printing. The first side prints ok then waits a while to dry but when it tries to print the second side the printer jams every time. When I remove the duplexing unit the paper is always concertina'ed between the unit and the rollers inside the printer. If anyone can point me in the right direction I'd be really grateful! This is one of the features I was hoping to make use of. 

  • Officejet 6700 duplex printing problem

    Hi. When I select duplex printing on my new Officejet 6700, the image looks squashed (horizontally) so the circle looks like an upright oval. It prints fine when in single-sided mode.

  • HP Officejet J4500 duplex printing with Windows 8

    I have an HP Officejet J4500 All-in-One printer that I purchased about 5 years ago when I was still using MS XP on an Off Brand computer. It worked fine and would print double-sided when I wanted to save paper on a larger print job. It would even show me on the PC moniter with an illustration when to turn the pages to do the back side printing. However, my old computer died last summer, so I upgraded to an HP computer (without the printer, since I had a good one already!), using the newest Windows 8 system. My problem is, the printer still woks perfectly EXCEPT for two-sided printing (and no helpful illustrations on the moniter!)  How do I fix that? Do I need to re-install the printer wizard or do a Windows 8 upgrade for the printer?

    Hello there bevspets, Welcome to the Forums! I hope you enjoy your experience
    I saw your post about not being able to duplex print on Windows 8 with your OJ J4500 series. I would suggest running the HP Print and Scan Doctor
    to start, which should correct printing or scanning issues for you. If there is more of a serious issue, it will alert you to what it is.
    Please let me know the results!
    Thanks for posting, enjoy your day

  • Wireless officejet 6500 duplex printing issue

    duplex printing works fine until i have a document that is 6, 8, 10 pages long.  that's when duplex printing would be the most efficient.  but after 2-4 pages, it stops, the printer displays a "print cancelled" message & i have to start over where it left off.  then i can get another 2-4 pages.
    i recently did my win7 upgrade (from vista) but that has not helped any.
    what makes it stop in the middle??

  • OfficeJet J6480 Duplex Printing not working

    Duplexer is installed correctly with my OfficeJet J6480.  When I try to print a two sided page using AUTOMATIC setting, it prints a page and pushces out the page without rolling it back to print on the other side.  Any input on correcting this issue?
    I have the latest drivers installed.

    Hi, I had the same problem. There is a setting on the porperties page for your printer. Right click on your printer and select printer properties. When you get the properties page, select the Device Settings tab. Make sure the Duplex Unit  (2 sided printing) is set to Installed.

  • Officejet 7510 duplex printing

    i bought this officejet 7510 wide format this week but i cannot print in duplex. can someone tell me whether it is possible or not?

    Hi, Its specs says: Paper handling input, standard250-sheet input trayPaper handling output, standard75-sheet output trayMaximum output capacity (sheets)Up to 75 sheetsDuplex printingManualSource:  http://www8.hp.com/au/en/products/printers/product-detail.html?oid=7127211#!tab=specs That means you have to turn papers manually to print duplex. Normally with will print odd or even pages and ask you to turn the papers up-side-down the RIGHT way for it to continue to print even or odd pages. Regards.

  • Officejet 7410 duplex printing

    I have an Officejet 7410 all in one with a duplex attached, i recently upgraded to windows 7 professional 64 bit and cannot figure out how to print two sided documents automatically, they only print manually where you have to flip the first page over and manually reinsert it into the paper tray.
    I downloaded the latest's software "HP solution center" and updates but can't seem to figure out how to get it to function properly.
    I have checked all of HP online support and do not find a solution. can anyone help or direct me to a fix please?

    Enable the duplexer as described in the Vista / Windows 7 Duplex Troubleshooting Guide.

  • HP OfficeJet 6500: Duplex printing

    Hello,
    I've just bought a HP OJ 6500 and after recognizing the shipped-with CD contains "up to 10.5" software and drivers only I downloaded 10.6 software from HP.
    I installed the software and added the printer in system settings.
    When choosing appropriate driver, software update started and downloaded HP drivers from Apple.
    Now I'm unable to print duplex.
    No matter if I activate the checkbox or manually select double-sided printing in Layout settings, sheets are always printed one-sided.
    Any hint or advice on how to fix this?
    Thanks in advance,
    Peet

    Hello again.
    Downloaded and (re-?)installed HP PrinterDriver Update 2.4.1 from Apple download and now it seems to work ... At least this time it warned me duplex is not available with "border-less" (or "margin-less"? In my German installation it's "Randlos A4") printing. Switching to normal paper size, with no special options set, and enabling duplex it worked.
    Bye,

  • Device Manager reported driver missing for Officejet 7310 printer

    I used the full-feature install software downloaded from HP site to setup an Officejet 7310 printer on a Lenovo T540p laptop with Windows 8.1 64-bit OS.  The install and the printer appear to work correctly as I can print and I can also scan from the HP Solution Center utility.  However, the Device Manager reports two errors/anomolies as follows.
    Under the "Multifunction adapters" entry the Officejet 7300 series Properties shows the Device Status as:
    This device is disabled. (Code 22)
    Click Enable Device to enable this device.
    Under the "Other devices" entry theOfficejet 7300 series Properties shows the Device Status as:
    The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)
    There are no compatible drivers for this device.
    To find a driver for this device, click Update Driver.
    I find this a bit baffling as I believe the install software is supposed to include the driver(s), plus the printer seems to function (which could be due to default Microsoft drivers).
    Any thoughts on how things got in this state and how to recover would be deeply appreciated as I prefer to not "ignore" the error messages.
    Thanks,
    Glenn

    Yes I was able to remove the USB instance and rename the network-connected printer instance as the sole printer.  I thought that should work, but I was a bit paranoid given the other weird things that happened with the package install.
    I'm good to go; thanks again.

  • HP Officejet 7310 no longer in my Printer setup

    I recently installed a new printer in another location - HP Photosmart 7520.  On returning to my home location, my HP Officejet 7310 is no longer a choice for my printer output.  I have tried to reinstall the 7310 and I keep getting an error message that it is incompatible with my system (but nothing has changed since I last used it, other than the addition of the 7520.

    Hey @Wunitacharles!
    Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!
    I should be able to provide some suggestions regarding the computer not locating the Officejet 7310.  How do you have the printer connected to the computer?  Is it plugged into the computer with a USB cable or is it networked using an ethernet cable to the router?
    If you are getting an error saying the printer is not compatable I recommend uninstalling the HP software. I understand you have tried this already  but after the uninstall is complete it would be a good idea to perform a disk cleanup in the computer. A disk cleanup will improve computer performance and clear temporary files that may cause issues during the install of software. Once the disk cleanup is complete you should restart the computer and re-install the HP software.
    To uninstall HP software click here:Uninstalling HP Software
    To perform a disk cleanup click here: Performing a Disk Cleanup
    To download the HP software click here: HP Software and Driver
    Please post back with the information on how the printer is connected and I should be able to provide some more help!

  • Officejet Pro 8600 Plus duplex printing not working

    Hi,
    Please follow the steps below to configure the driver for automatic duplex printing:
    1. Verify the duplex-printing accessory has been installed properly. To verify this open the System Preferences and go to Print & Fax. Open the print queue of your printer. Click on Printer Setup and from the tab menu choose Driver. Verify the box next to HP Two-sided Printing Accessory (Duplexer) is checked.
    2. On the File menu, select Print. The Print window appears.
    NOTE: The Print window might be minimized. Click the blue triangle next to the printer name to see all available settings.
    3. In the expanded Print window you will find next to Copies the checkbox for Two-Sided. Check the box.
    NOTE: If the checkbox does not appear within the specific application print dialog, skip this step.
    4. To select the binding type click the lowest selection box listed as the name of the program (e.g. TextEdit)
    Will appear as Copies & Pages within Microsoft Office applications.
    5. Select Layout from the drop-down menu.
    6. Set the Two-Sided option as Long-Edge binding (Portrait), or Long-Edge binding (landscape).
    You may save the settings for future use by clicking Presets > Save Current Settings as Preset...
    Please let me know of any problem,

  • 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

  • Duplex printing with officejet pro 8000

    I am using this officejet pro 8000 to print up some newsletters.  When printing a two sided copy (duplex printing) something happens which changes my border setting.  Printing the exact same document, but electing one-sided copy renders a perfect border.  I would not have a problem copying just one side, then re-loading those in order to make two-sided copies, but the friction caused by the ink on the pages causes mulitple sheets to feed at the same time, jamming the printer.  Has HP ever come up with a fix for this?  I have seen this problem on the net, but the best folks have done (that I have seen) is to upload drivers for older machines.  This has rendered good borders on duplex prints, but diminishes the quality of the print copy.  Whatcha think?

    Are you using the latest drivers from HP? If I set up a printer with the HP Officejet Pro 8000 A809 Series PPD, I can see Two-Sided to the right of Collated if the HP Two-sided Printing Accessory (Duplexer) is checked in the Print & Fax -> Options & Supplies -> Driver tab. If this is not checked, Two-Sided won't appear.
