Photosmart C6280 not printing color/both sides with Mac

Hello HP Community,
I have a Macbook Pro running iOS X 10.9.2 and a AIO Photosmart C6280. I am have downloaded the printing/scanning software and drivers. Everything installed without problem. I have also scanned with no problem. However, no matter what program I am trying to print from on my Macbook, the printer will not print in color and also will not print on both sides - even when the double sided feature is checked off.
I have been to all the discussion forums of relevance and can't find anyone with my same problem. Those that have similar problems, are running different versions of iOS and the steps suggested they take are not possible with this version. Please Help!

Hello HP_USER,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you're unable to print in color from you Mac 10.9.2. I will try to help you with this.
Have you tried making a color copy from the printer? If not please do so, this is to see if the printer is having the issue stand alone.
I would also recommend looking at these documents:
Missing, Faded, or Dull Colors
Wrong Colors
As for it not duplexing, according to the User's Guide, this printer doesn't duplex as in it doesn't have a duplexer. If you are manual duplexing that would be slightly different, as it requires you to be flipping the page after the first side has come out. This document can assist you with that: Print on Both Sides of the Paper (Manual Duplexing)
I hope this helps you out, thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

How do i print on both sides with an hp 6500A

i have a officejet 6500A.
here are no instruction how t o print double sided

Instructions for printing two sided are on page 38 of the manual you received. If you do not have this, download it from the web.
NOTE:
The printer driver does not support manual duplexing. Two-sided printing
requires an HP Automatic Two-sided Printing Accessory (duplexer) to be installed
on the printer.
Do you have this optional accessory installed?

Can I print on both sides with portrait pages flipped on the long edge and landscape on short edge?

I have a document with some portrait oriented pages and some landscape (charts). When you print the document, it is natural to flip the landscape pages up to look at the charts, but then the ones on the top are upside down. Is there a way to print this way?

View> Tools> Pages> Rotate.
Rotate the charts so the top is facing left.

HP LaserJet 2420 'Print on both sides (manually)' is missing from the current Windows 7 PCL6

Dear Support,
I have a HP LaserJet 2420 printer connected to my home network and I would like to use it from my desktop PC (connected with cable to the network) and from my notebook (connected with wifi to the network). I use Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 (EN) on both of them and I installed the current Win7 PCL6 (v5.7.0) driver downloaded from the official HP site.
I would like to print on both sides, but the 'print on both sides (manually)' option is missing from the 'Finishing' tab of the Printing preferences option.
If I turn to 'Installed' the 'Duplex Unit (for 2-Sided Printing)' under the 'Device Settings' tab of the Printer properties it doesn't work because this printer doesn't support the automatic print on both sides.
I don't want it work automatic only manual, but it is still missing. I have never experience it with much simple printer.
Please help to solve the problem! Thank you!
And what is the difference between the PCL5 and PCL6 and PostScript drivers?
Kind regards,
Szilárd Kurunczi

About HP envy 4500 printing for both sides for mac os x 10.9.4

I got the printer recently. I have installed the lastest software and set up air print successfully. I was trying to print out mt notes for both sides of the paper but I did not see the " print both sides" option. I looked up the old post in the forum and tried to follow the set up step by step, but it is still not working. Can anyone tell me how to set up the both sides printing option.
Thank you so much.

Hi @chloe_chie,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that you are wondering how to print on both sides with your HP Envy 4500 on your Mac OS X 10.9.4, and I am happy to help!
Please make sure that the correct driver has been selected on the Mac. Meaning, it should read HP Envy 4500, not the Airprint driver.
To do this go to the Apple Icon, System Preferences, then Print & Scan and look for the images below:
Once we have verified that we have the correct driver selected, then please follow through this guide, Printing on Both Sides of the Paper (Duplexing) for HP Deskjet 3540, 4640, ENVY 4500, and Officejet ....
Hope this information helps, and have a nice day!

How to print on both sides of paper

I have HP 3050A wireless printer. How to print on both sides of paper

This printer does not do auto duplexing. The only way to print on both sides of the page is to print one side, put the paper back in manually, and then print the next page. If you have something say 10 pages long, you can also print only odd pages, then only even pages tospeed it up.

Printing on both sides and in order

I have a 80 page document where I would like to have 4 pages per A4 sheet printed. Then I would also like to print on both sides. My printer doesn't have a duplex unit so I would have to put the paper back in the tray to print on the reverse - that's not the problem.
How can I do it where is prints the following pages first:
1-2 / 5-6 / 9-10 etc (each of these are printed on 1 side of A4) then I would like to put these back in the printer and print the reverse ie:
3-4 / 7-8 / 11-12 so on one sheet I would have 1-2 on one side and 3-4 on the reverse.
Is it possible to do this?
I know I could do it if I were to have 1 page per A4 sheet printed because I would simply select Print even pages only and then for the reverse print only odd pages.
I hope all that makes sense and someone can help.

There is booklet software available that will do what you want. Two that I have tried are 'Create Booklet' and 'ClickBook'.

Photosmart 7520 options issue: How to print black ink, on both sides, with borderless.

I am checking to see if anyone has ever found a solution to the issue involved with borderless printing when the options "print on both sides" and "black ink only" are chosen.
I used to be able to print on both sides, flip on long edge, and choose black ink only, and I was able to print borderless. There was never an issue until last year, when out of the blue a yellow warning triangle appeared next to borderless printing. I do not know why this happened, and I was never able to solve the issue, even with two hour-long conversations with polite and tireless HP phone reps. One HP rep even helped me download a driver for a newer printer to see if that helped, and it did not.
Now in order to print without the extra border, I have to do the following in order to receive the regular output:
1. After saving, I make a custom border that is .75 inches all the way around instead of one inch.
2. I increase the font size of every block of print by .5 in size.
3. Then I print, but I do not save; when I close, it saves as it was before the changes I made to ameliorate the HP options mishap.
If any HP technician our here can tell me when this issue will be addressed and solved, I would appreciate it.
Oh, I run an Acer laptop with Windows 7, the 64-bit version. I use the wireless printing option. This issue occurs with my Word Program (2013), and my up-to-date Adobe .pdf files.
Thank you very much.

Hey there PrincessCupcake!
Thanks for the detailed post back to me.
If this was at one time an option for you and now is not, it would make sense to me that an update of some sort had made the option null and void for you, especially if you have completely uninstalled the printer driver and software and then reinstalled it. If the option was going to be available, doing the uninstall and reinstall would have fixed it in a jiffy.
I am out of ideas as to any other cause besides an update, as you mentioned. If you have installed the printer on another computer, see if the options are there, if not, they aren't available.
Happy Monday to you

How do I print to both sides of paper for greeting card on Brother Printer

I did not find the answer on the forum. I have iLife 09 and this Brother MFC-790CW printer. I do not see any automatic setting for printing on both sides. I am using a iPhoto greeting card template and it looks OK with a page one for the front and a page two for the back.
Maybe the only way is to print out all the fronts pages (20) and then put the paper back in and print all the pages 2 (the text inside of the card). That seems like it would be faster than other ways, except automatic.
Obviously I should have done this a month ago and sent the project to Apple, but now I have no more time. Ii have the right paper for the one fold cards and plenty of ink

You need to have an image editor that supports layers. If you do follow the directions in these tutorials:
#8 - Printing a iPhoto Greeting Card
#8a - Printing a iPhoto Greeting Card to Standard Stock Sizes
Here are some editors that support layers:
Some Image Editors that support layers:
Photoshop Elements 8 for Mac - $79
GraphicConverter - $45
Rainbow Painter - $30
Acorn - $50
Pixelmator - $60
Seashore - Free
Portraits and Prints - Free
GIMP for Mac - Free
You might be able to use Pages instead of an image editor.
Happy Holidays

HP Officejet Pro K5400 - will NOT print on both sides

I recently built a new computer and everything is working great, EXCEPT one thing...when trying to print on both sides using Google Chrome, Microsoft Word, or another program it gives me the error message below. My previous computer had Windows 7 installed as well and my HP Officejet Pro K5400 had no problems printing on both sides of the paper. I tried using the Starter CD that came with my printer, but unfortunately since it wasn't for Windows 7 (only for Windows XP and Windows Vista) it will not install it. I also went to HP's website to downloaded the latest drivers. I was able to download them, but it hasn't fixed my problem. By the way, I do have a duplex unit on my prtiner (in case you're wondering). I'm not sure if my duplex unit still works, or if it's something else. If there are any solutions that you can give to fix this problem, I would be very appreciative. The error message is below:
Automatic Two-Sided Printing Module Missing
The document has been configured to print using the Automatic Two-Sided Printing Module but the module is not installed in the device.
The document will be printed one-sided.

Hi,
First remove and re-0attach the duplex accessory at the bak of the printer to enure it is well seated:
http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c00845167/
Next ensure the duplex unit is set as installed within the print driver by entering the 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 try printing on both sides and check for any difference.

IMac won't let me print on both sides using my hp D2400 printer

I just received my iMac and was trying to print on both sides using my hp D2400. But, on the option page, it won't let me choose "Print on both sides". Why? How do I fix it? Thanks!!

From the HP Support site, have you done the following, as you need to:

Hope this helps

HP LaserJet 2300dn Not Printing On Both Sides Anymore?

Hi,After upgrading to Windows 8.1 64Bit my laserjet has lost the abilty to print on both sides of the paper automatically. I assume it's something to do with the driver but am not sure.I have tried downloading different drivers from the support page but I don't know which one I'm suppose to be using and whatever I do doesn't seem to work. Anyone who can suggest a solution, I would be most grateful. Thanks In Advance DiGiTiSeD

Ensure that the driver knows that a duplex unit is present on the printer (assuming that one is): For the printer instance in question, bring up the Printer properties dialogue.Select the Device settings tab.Ensure that the duplex unit is set to Installed rather than Not installed.You'll probably need to be logged in with administrator credentials in order to change the device settings.

HP Color Laserjet 2550n has no more printing on both sides

In 2005, I bought an HP Color Laserjet 2550n to go with my laptop. I had no printer problems. I loved the feature where I could print a document on both sides of the paper. The option would show up on the properties menu on the print document dialog window.
Over the past summer, I lost my laptop to a crash and had to get a new laptop using Windows Vista OS. I hooked up the printer using the USB port and all seemed good until I tried to print on both sides. In the properties menu of the printing dialog box, the option has disappeared completely! I tried updating the drivers - didn't fix it. I tried reinstalling the software that came with the printer, but Windows Vista OS wouldn't accept it. Help! I don't know what else to do. I appreciate any help.
I have also tried Bob_Headrick's advice on Vista Duplex Printing Troubleshooting Guide for "No option for two-sided printing." The option appeared in the properties menu, but the printer still did not print properly.

Sorry guys................I answered my own question.
I went into the HP P2015 user guide & found the answer. on page 32.
I went into printer properties, device settings, noticed that duplex unit for printing on both sides was showing as "not installed". I changed this to "installed", and it worked.

Printing on both sides

Hi, I have an HP laserjet P2015dn. In the past, to print on both sides all I had to do was check the box in "finishing", and it would print. Now, for the past month or so, when I go to print on both sides, it is telling me it has to be "manually".
I purchased and installed QuickbooksPro 2011. This printer problem occurred after I installed Quickbooks?? Could this be the problem? I had 2008 version of Quckbooks installed prior, nd never had a problem to print on bothsides. I don't think Quickboks is the problem, but if it isn't than how do I correct to "automatically print on both sides???
Thanks for your input.
