6500 and 8500 Officejets duplex printing margins

Recently acquired these multifunctions. Use the full standard software installation under  XP both produce oversize top and bottom margins therefore compressing the body text.
Single side printing is OK.
Also printing  from mobile eprint driver duplex is OK.
What's wrong with the full feature software set?????????????????
This seems to be an old and prevalent problem.
HP what gives????????????????????

I have the same problem.  HP 6500a, Windows 7, using the software.  Printing duplex makes the top and bottom margins 1/2" bigger and sqeezes all the text in between.  I got my printer so I can print out resumes and cover letters, but they look terrible.  Printer is a paperweight now.
It looks like this has been a problem since 2009 (according to the forums).  Looking forward to a fix.

  • Officejet 4630 printing margins problem

    Hi there-
    I just purchased an Officejet 4630 and have had some immediate printing issues come up.
    The main issue I've found is that the margins for printing at the top and bottom of letter-sized pages seem to get cut off when at 100% scale. 
    I've uninstalled and re-installed the printer with the correct driver, but none of this seems to solve the issue. 
    I've used both preview and excel to try and print and they both have the same problem. It seems the only way I can get the entire image to print is to shrink down the scale, but I do not want to do this as I'm trying to maximize printing space, which is vital for my business printing needs. 
    Do you have any solution to this problem? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Hi @el_jefe,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I noticed that the margins for printing at the top and bottom of letter-sized pages seem to get cut off when at 100% scale. When printing with your HP Officejet 4630.  
    Please try the following:
    Reset the printing system. OS X Yosemite: Reset the printing system.
    Verify and repair disk permissions. Disk Utility 12.x: Repair disk permissions.
    Otherwise, it could just be a setting within the Microsoft Office Suite that needs to be changed. I would suggest also contacting Microsoft Office Support for assistance, or consider trying another Office Suite such as OpenOffice, or LibreOffice, and see if they do the same thing.
    Hope this information helps!

  • 8500 officejet pro printing isues

    My 8500 has not printed well in black after the first month. I have lines through black print on 2 or 3 lines per page. Those line are not readable. I've tried everything the trouble shooting recommended numerous time. I've wasted so much ink trying to fix this I've given up a started printing to an old printer. This has been nothing but trouble and frustration for me.  

    Hi Windsprints,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having some issues when attempting to print in colour.
    I have located a document that deals with Fixing Print Quality Problems for the HP Officejet Pro 8500A e-All-in-One Printer Series.
    If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.

  • 8500 officejet not printing colors properly

    Hi All,
    My Officejet 8500 printer has suddenly started to misprint colors. Anyone know what's happening?  I also have a new Dell Latitude E7250 and wondering if that's the issue.  Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

  • How can I get my Gateway GM5260 desktop PC and HP Officejet 4315 printer to support Adobe Reader 9.1.1

    I had to type this thread on another computer because the Gateway GM5260 won't display the HTML toolbar, nor can I get any PDFs displayed on the Gateway to print from the HP Officejet 4315 to which it's connected. Don't know whether the problem is settings within the PC, the printer or both?! Thanks forum readers for your help.

    When you can't use this forum on your Gateway PC then must be something wrong with your operating system.

  • Canon MX870 duplex printing problem

    I usually have letterhead paper in my printer tray. And everything used to work fine: if I were printing single-sided or duplex, the printer always printed the first page properly, on the side with the letterhead.
    But ever since I upgraded to Mavericks, it will print single-sided on one side, and page one of duplex printing on the other.
    If I load the paper face up, duplex printing puts page one properly on the letterhead side.  But if keep the paper face up and print single-sided, it will print page one on the back of the page.
    Anyone else experiencing this? Anyone have any dieas how I can fix this?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello Roger,
    I just tested your symptom on a Canon MG6150 and it appears to be working fine for me.
    I loaded a letterhead sheet face-up into the printers cassette. I then selected to print a single page from TextEdit. The text printed on the correct side.
    I then created a second page in TextEdit document and selected to print. From the print dialog I enabled the duplex setting in the Duplex Print & Margin menu of the Canon driver. With the letterhead sheet loaded as face-up, page 2 printed on the blank reverse side first, and then paper was pulled back into the printer and page 1 was printed on the letterhead side.
    So can you reply with what application you are having the issue with.
    Can you also reply what driver version you are using. I am using v10.89.1.0 which was a recent update. You can check this by opening Printers & Scanners, selecting the MX870 and clicking on Options & Supplies. The General tab will show the version.

  • Booklet printing - duplex printer

    I am trying to print a 32-page booklet on a duplex printer.  Everything seems normal in the print preview window, but on the actual print roughly 1/3 of the content is cut off from the tops of pages 2 and 16.  What am I doing wrong?

    This is the config I´d managed to make it work.
    My first difficulty was that my printer´s options is a bit too complex(Layout, Quality, Duplex options,....), mixing that with the many combinations of options we need to fullfil in Adobe Reader aswell...far from good. I wish there was a option in my canon mp560 setup to let it print using only adobes settings. Would be easier.
    Adobe Acrobat Reader:
    First, at the bottom left,
    Page Setup = Landscape
    Hit Ok
    Print Range = All
    Page Handling:
    Booklet Printing
    Both Sides
    Auto Rotate
    Bind Left
    Then, at the bottom: Printer...
    Printer: Canon...
    Layout:
    2 Pages per Sheet
    Paper Handling:
    Check the Scate to Fit: (A4) or whatever paper size you´re printing
    Cover Page:
    None
    Duplex Printing & Margin:
    Check the Automatic Duplex Printing
    Print Area = Use reduced printing
    Stapling Side = Shot-side stapling (Top)
    Hit Print, then Ok in Acrobat Reader.
    It should print fine, as it did to my small document.

  • Duplex printing on Canon MG6150

    Hey everyone,
    I recently bought a Canon Pixma MG6150 printer which comes with automatic duplex printing. I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
    I want to use it in InDesign to create a booklet however, whenever I go into Print Settings>Printer>Duplex Printing & Margin everything is greyed out.
    I've tried all the drivers I can find on the Canon website and the CD that came with the printer. I've heard about using older drivers, does this mean to download older OS drivers (I tried 10.5 and my Mac said it was not possible to install) or older drivers from Canon?
    Any ideas? Thanks!

    I fixed the problem, however I've seen a lot of questions about the Canon duplex printing issues with some Mac users so I thought I'd put my solution up to help anyone else.
    Going through the On-Screen Manual that comes with the CD I found out that:
    When a media type other than Plain Paper, Hagaki A or Hagaki is selected from Media Type menu of Quality & Media, Automatic Duplex Printing appears grayed out and is unavailable.
    When Borderless Printing is set, Automatic Duplex Printing appears grayed out and is unavailable.
    Automatic Duplex Printing can be performed only when one of the following paper sizes is selected from Paper Size.US Letter, A5, A4, B5 JIS (JB5), Hagaki
    After printing the front page, there is an ink drying wait time before starting to print the back page (Operation stops temporarily). Do not touch the paper during the time. You can change the ink drying wait time from Custom Settings in the Canon IJ Printer Utility.
    After going through the printing settings and following these regulations, Duplex Printing was no longer grey!

  • Duplex printing on Canon i860

    I have a Canon i860 printer which I have had for a couple of years and have loved it. But since I upgraded a little over a year ago from a Lombard PB running OS 9.1.1 to a G4 iBook running OS 10.4 in its various incarnations I have not been able to print duplex copies. When I can get it to show up on the under the printer menu when I attempt to print the job just automatically stops and it will not print. I have tried loading new drivers but nothing seems to help. Any advice?

    Hello James,
    I am assuming from your post that you can print simplex (ie single sided) without the printer queue stopping. Is this correct?
    Where do you select to do two-sided? Are you making the selection under Layout or is there another choice in the printer menu?
    FYI - for the iP6000D I have currently connected to my MacBook there is the option 'Duplex Printing & Margin'. This is part of the Printing Dialog Extensions (PDEs) that get installed with the driver. The driver version that provides this option is v4.15. I know this version is available for the i865 (the i860 wasn't sold in Oz) and you can download it from the Canon Europe web site. Are you using this version and if yes, are you selecting Duplex Print from this extension?

  • Difference in control panel between 6500 and 6500 e709n series

    Hello,
    Although I still have a non-solved problem in this topic (printing from IE8 x64), I already have another one.
    It seems that there are three 'printers' installed in control panel. One is called HP Officejet 6500 E709n Series fax, which I understand is the fax. However, the other two seem very similar to me. Hp Officejet 6500 and HP Officejet 6500 E709n Series. I would like to know the difference between those two, especially because I rarely have to switch between those two, when one of them does not work.
    Which one is the best to set as default, and why won't I just delete the other one?
    Thanks,
    Michael B

    Print from both to test them.  Delete one (if only one works, delete the other one).

  • HP All in One C7280 no longer duplex printing

    I have had my C7280 for over 2 years now and the duplex printing is working fine.  I have checked the control panel printer properties, verified that double sided printing is on for each print in my programs - and still the duplex printing no longer works.  It stopped working suddenly.  Any helps will be greatly appreciated.
    Also, even tho I have paper in the feeder tray, it consistently refuses to accept that it is there and tells me to load paper.  I have tried everything I know.
    Please someone help - this is end of year reporting time.

    There is such as thing as being too close to the wireless router, try moving it at least 15 feet away.  Also, just turn it off and back on again, sometimes that clears up slow printing.

  • Duplex printing pages are wrong-way round with MacBook snowleopar​d

    Hello, I've just installed a new Laser Jet Pro 1606DN and the automatic duplex printing insists on producing the pages in this order: 2-1, 4-3 That is, to read the document, I will have to manually shift each page so that they are in sequential order.
    I have tried saving all combinations of checking and unchecking collate & reverse printing with no result. The "standard" preset has both checked and duplex printing - I don't know how that it got that way.  Any other setting I try to save as a preset reverts back to collate, but I do not know if that is part of the problem or a symtom.  We have: reinstalled the driver 3 times, found that it is the same with pdf and word files, used the diskrepair utility and DiskWarrior, found the same error when we created a new administrator, and finally the hp tech support said it was not their problem and apple tech support said that I will have to reinstall the system. Hp was also scathing about apple macs being "for fun" and "not serious for business."  So far this problem has taken 5 hours of today and we are no closer to understanding the reason or knowing how to fix it.  A colleague has the same system (10.6.3) and printer, and has no problems.
    Thank you!

    The driver was updated 1/15/2011 and solves the duplex issue with Snow Leopard (10.6)

  • How to duplex print pdf file on hp 1320 using upd pcl5 on windows 7 ?

    I am running Windows 7 Professional (64bit), with a HP laserjet 1320 using driver HP UPD PCL5 (v5.5.0.12834), with Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro v9.5.2 and MS Word 2010. When I print a Word 2010 file I can choose duplex printing (print on both sides) and everything works fine. However, when I open a PDF file, click FILE then PRINT then PROPERTIES the PRINT ON BOTH SIDES option shows "none" and no other option is shown. I searched Adobe support and it says duplex printing is controlled by the printer driver, not Adobe software. I have uninstalled & reinstalled the UPD PCL 5 driver two times already but still the same problem of not being able to choose duplex printing for any PDF document - yet it works for MS Word. Any ideas ? Thanks

  • Duplex Printing on Canon MP830 possible?

    Does anyone have a Canon MP830 connected to their MacBook running OS10.4.6? I am able to print, but not able to duplex print. The Layout section of the Print dialog box does not allow me to click on the double-sided printing option.
    In Pages 2, there are a few other sections in the drop-down whose labels are struckthrough, one of which is named Duplexprint430, which I think belongs to the MP830, but again, I am not able to select it.

    Well I don't have a MacBook (yet), but on my PowerBook with 10.4.6 I see a pull down category called Duplex Printing & Margin. What yours shows sounds suspicous. Canon indicates you should be using driver 4.80. See this link:
