2-Sided Printing Vanished from 2605dn Preferences Under Windows 7

Have been happily using LaserJet 2605dn with PCL6 driver directly from HP for years under 32-bit Windows XP SP3.  Set up different printing shortcuts and default for single-sided, double-sided, color, gray-scale, paper type, etc.  All worked fine.
Now migrated to 64-bit Windows 7 SP1, and Windows could only find a PS driver for this old printer. Although I can still define "Print Task Quick Sets," I don't see a way to select one as default, and most importantly, I can no longer find any setting on the Printing Preferences pages for one-sided vs two-sided printing.
Although I can make single/double-sided choices directly in Office 2013 and Acrobat 11 applications, I cannot find any way to print two sided from Firefox because of this.  Did I get the wrong printer driver, or is there another  solution to this problem? -- jclarkw

Hi,
Make sure the Automatic Duplexing option is enabled:
Enter Control Panel > Devices and Printers.
Right click the printer icon, then click Printer Properties.
Click the Device Settings tab.
Set the Automatic Two-Sided Duplex Accessory as installed and click OK to save the change.
Now Automatic Duplexing should become available.

    Has the black barrel by the hinge of the LCD been damaged or exposed to liquid recently?
    Bluetooth is not intergrated, just a chip swap.  Sadly, its in barrel

  • Two sided printing directly from finder?

    Hello all
    I am having trouble with two-sided printing directly from the Finder on a shared printer over Airport.
    I know that I can highlight a file in the finder, then hit CMD-P and it will print the document for me (opening up the program that created it - be it Pages or Word).  I can select multiple files and print them this way.
    What I *can't* do is get a two-sided document this way.
    I have setup a preset for two-sided printing and set it as default.   It doesn't matter what program created the document - it just won't duplex print.  I have gone into CUPS and set the printer default as two-sided along the long edge. 
    My printer is a Brother HL-2240D, connected to an iMac running 10.6.8.  I am attempting to print files from a Mac Pro (1,1) running 10.7.5, over my Airport network.  I can print two-sided by opening the file in the word processor (Word or Pages) and using the Print dialogue, but I can't do it from the Finder.
    Can anyone please help?

    I forgot to add - I have set up a duplex preset on the iMac (server) as well.  I'm not sure if that makes a difference or not...
    thanks!

  • Double sided printing on HP officejet 7410 and windows 8.1

    I recently had to upgrade to a new computer with Windows 8.1 and after downloading the driver for my old HP Officejet 7410 All in One WITH the double sided printing attachment, I cannot get it to print on both sides automatically, as in the printer setup there is only "print one page" or manually print double sided.  I continue to get the manual print instructions to turn the pages over.  I have downloaded the driver twice and cannot find an option for the double sided driver.  The printer still prints double sided automatically with the other old computer i have.
       Help ~ wanting to print double sided!

    I have the same problem.  I have the HP Officejet 7410 that supports automatic double sided printing.  I recently upgraded to Windows 8.1.  I installed the most recent software and drivers from the HP support site.  But automatic double sided printing is no longer an option.  What's up with that HP?  How about a fix?

  • Running two displays from MBP Retina under windows

    I'm looking at purchasing a MBP Retina 13".  I have two external monitors that can accept HDMI and DVI (neither can do displayport).  Some software that I run requires me to sometimes boot into windows.  Under windows 7, can I output a DVI signal from each of my thunderbolt ports?  Do I just need to run two mini-displayport to DVI adapters?  Or is not that simple?  (both external monitors are 1900x1080)

  • Debugging iOS AIR app from FlashBuilder running under Windows/Paralells on a Mac

    On my Windows 7 workstation at work, I use FlashBuilder 4.6 to debug iPad apps all the time. The process is simple and reliable -- start the debugger which begins waiting for the app to notify it, move the app into iTunes, move it onto the iPad, launch the app, the app notifies the debugger that it is running, debugging works!
    At home I am running Windows 7 under the latest version of Parallels on my iMac running the latest version of Lion. I go through the same process: I connect my iPad (the same one from work) to the Windows VM, and Windows iTunes recognizes it and syncs files just fine. I can move a non-debugger version of the app onto the iPad and it runs just fine. However, when I start the debugger in FlashBuilder and then move the app onto the iPad and launch it, the app is not able to find the Flash Debugger. When it launches I just get a black screen for about 2 minutes, then I get a message asking me to enter the IP address of the Flash Debugger.
    There is an old help document indicating that this is due to the iPad and then debugger host computer not running on the same wifi, but I don't think it's relevant. My workstation at work isn't even connected to wifi.
    I will consider any advice. It's pretty important for me to get this up and running at home. I tried running directly under bootcamp, but both Microsoft and Adobe consider the bootcamp install to be a unique install of their products.
    Thanks!

    It turns out that the "help document indicating that this is due to the iPad and the debugger host computer not running on the same wifi" was spot on.  At my work environment, the wifi and the ethernet lan are on the same network.  I was mistakenly assuming that the iPad and the debugger were communicating via the USB cable, but this is not the case.  I think what happens is that FB embeds the ip address of its computer in the debuggable app.  The app then connects to FB at that IP address.
    My problem was that I had the Network Settings of my VM set to "Shared" under the Parallels hardware config set up.  My VM then had a 10.211.55.x ip address instead of a 196.196.0.x ip address, which is the range of addresses on my LAN.  Changing the setting to "Shared" fixed the problem.

  • Print wirelessly from SL MBP to Windows Vista-connected Printer

    My father just got a MBP, after using PC's all his life. He is trying to print wirelessly to a Canon MX860 printer that is connected to his Windows Vista PC Desktop. There is little to no information that I can understand on the internet about how to make this happen. I found two 'suggestions', but neither seemed to work. Is it possible? Is there a walk-through somewhere that I can send to him?
    Trying to make his first experience a positive one; this is making it difficult!

    To make this as simple as possible he needs a wireless router. Then both his computers print to the printer through the router.

  • "Allow Insecure Authentication" checkbox vanished from SMTP preferences

    Good morning,
    The "Allow Insecure Authentication" checkbox is not available on SMTP preferences on my sister's MacBook Pro running the latest version of Yosemite. I've found similar problem on a couple of Mac minis I have at the office. However, my MacBook Pro and my wife's MacBook Air both have the option available.
    All of the aforementioned Macs are running the latest version of Yosemite.
    Any ideas on how to enable this?
    Thanks a lot for any help.

  • Printing to a C3180 printer wirelessly from a macbook and windows XP PC

    OK, this is crazy. I followed the steps ifelix outlined in his links, and much to my satisfaction, everything worked great.......for about a week. Suddenly, I cannot print to the HP anymore from either the macbook wirelessly (I get the 10.0.1.1. is busy message), or the windows XP PC connected to the Airport! If I attach the printer directly to each computer, it functions fine. Any thoughts? I cannot understand why it worked for a while and then suddenly..poof!

  • ASM installation failure from Oracle GRID under Windows 7 64 bit

    I am a rookie..I am running Oracle database 11gR2 running on a Windows 7 64 bit system.
    I am implementing ASM onto my system solely for learning purposes
    The implementation of ASM has changed between database releases 11gR1 and 11gR2 such that it is no longer configured locally but is now implemented from within Oracle GRID. Unfortunately, the book I am using to study my OCP from was written at the time of 11gR1 so I can no longer follow its instructions to create and configure ASM. Instead of using DBCA I now need to use ASMCA to configure ASM.
    As a preliminary requirement I successfully installed Oracle Grid and configured it to run on my standalone server.
    I created two partitions on my harddrive ...... drive G: and drive H: with intent of using them as my ASM disks. 45 Gig and 50 gig in size respectively formatted with the NTFS filesystem.
    I ran ASMCA in an attempt to create an ASM instance
    I specified these partition drives '\\.\G:' and '\\.\H:' in the disk discovery path which were successfully picked up.
    However when ASMCA executed the creation process after some time it failed with the following message:
    One or more diskgroup(s) creation failed as below:
    DiskGroup mydisks creation failed with the following message:
    ORA-15018: diskgroup cannot be created
