Can't get duplex on Officejet 6480 to work with Mac OS 10.6.4

Recently purchased Macbook Pro 13 which makes me a new user. I have updated the OS to 10.6.4. Have installed Officejet J6480 and using wirelessly. Single page printing works fine. Can't get duplex printing to work. Checked options on printer in System Preferences and duplex capability is checked.
What do I do now?

Have you checked to see if you've installed the most recent driver?

  • Can't get networked HP Officejet 5610 to work with MacBook

    Apologies in advance if I'm covering old ground.
    I just upgraded my Deskjet 832C to an Officejet 5610 All-In-One. The printer is connected to a WinXP machine and works without a hitch on three Windows PC's using print sharing. However, I've tried everything and can't get it to work with my MacBook using a wireless connection. The old 832c worked with no problem. In fact, I don't recall ever doing any setup to get it to work; it was just detected on the network and worked without any intervention on my part when I got the MacBook. With the new printer, however, it just won't print. I can go to "add printer" on the Mac and add it with no problem; the computer sees the printer on the mshome network. It's automatically set up as a "generic" printer because I don't see this particular model listed under the HP printers. But when I print, nothing happens. I think it's getting to the printer because I can open up the printer dialogue on the Windows machine and it'll show it's printer something called a "down level document" or something to that effect. But it just hangs up there and never prints. I also can't print anything from any of the Windows PC's while it's hung up on this.
    Any suggestions on what I need to do. The much older 834c worked without me doing anything special, so I can believe a newer model won't work. Thanks in advance for any advice.

    Thanks for the suggestions, but nothing seems to work. I've tried the 900 series driver as suggested, I've set the printer up using both the "default brower" and "ip printer" options, I've gone into Windows and checked the "TCP/IP" box in addition to the USB ports ... nothing makes any difference in the behavior. The Mac seems to be communicating with the PC because in the Windows printer dialogue box, it shows that a "remote downlevel document" is printing, but it hangs there and nothing will happen. I have to restart the Windows PC to clear the print job and can't print from any of the Windows PC's until I clear it.
    Thanks again. I'll keep searching for an answer. Never thought changing to a newer, more up-to-date printer would be this much trouble.

  • Can not get Samsung 22" LED TV to work with Mac Mini (2009), 'No Signal' message. any suggestions?

    I've just purchased a Samsung 5000series 22" LED TV to use with my Mac Mini (2009). I'm connecting using VGA with VGA adapter to MacMini. The TV is reading an error message saying there's no signal. Already tried with a 32" LG and it worked, as well as with a Dell moniter but can't seem to get this Samsung to work... PLEASE HELP!!

    That is not totally true. Instead of using an analog VGA connection, try using a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter and HDMI cable with that Samsung Monitor.

  • I can't get my HP laserjet p1102w to work with airprint

    Hi!
    So it seem's that I can't get my HP laserjet p1102w to work with airprint. I got it to send out it's own Wi-Fi signal, and i get in touch with that signal on my iPad 3. But when I wan't to print something out from Pages, then it says that it can't find any airprinters.
    I tried to update the firmware several times, but it still doesn't work. Any suggestions to what I can do?

    Hey T-racer,
    As a work-around you can also use the HP eprint method which is available with your printer. The application (HP Home & Biz) is available for free in the apple catalogue.
    You can find more info on it here:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03128518&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en &product=4110396&tmp_track_link=ot_search
    It shares many of the same capabilities of airprint but is a different program/feature.
    If you have any questions, just ask!

    Hi, I can't get my old wacom intuos2 to work with mountain lion, any suggestions? Apart from buy a new tablet.

    I was out of town for a few days. I had no issue installing the driver on Mountain Lion (10.8.2). What specifically happens when you try to install?
    If you get this message:

  • Can't get Zip or Jaz Drive to work with PB G4 OS 10.4.7

    Hi All,
    Please help if possible. I recently upgraded from a PB 3400/G3, "Kanga" to a PB G4. When I used my Kanga I saved tons of files and pictures to my Iomega SCSI 1G Jaz and 100M Zip drives. I would like to transfer all this stuff to my PB G4 but nothing I have tried works...
    I:
    - purchased a Iomega SCSI to USB converter for my JAZ. When it is hooked up to my PB G4, after what seems like 100 years (actually about 7 minutes) it shows up on the desktop. Then after another 7 minutes it opens. Then after another 7 minutes the folder I select opens. And so on and so on. I get scared that I'm screwing up the OS...and tired of waiting so I quit the whole thing.
    - purchased a USB Iomega Zip which never shows up on the desktop, does not show up in the System Profiler, and does not show up in the Disk Utility. It doesn't matter if the disk is in the Zip before the computer is turned on or inserted later.
    - read FAQs on the Iomega site and tried most of their suggestions (check that on/off switch is in the on position, power on, cables connected, etc.) including remove Iomega driver (or whatever it is) and reinstall.
    The one thing I have not tried is to remove the Iomega files from the system manually and then reinstall the software. I am a long time user of a Mac, but OS 10 is a mystery to me and I'm deathly afraid of removing files I need. What are the Iomega files and where are they located? Do I remove them from OS 9 and OS 10 or just from OS 10?
    Oh, I forgot...I read a lot of Apple discussion items talking about removing some Adaptec files but I think they were just for PowerMac users.
    What this all boils down to is, does anyone know how I can get my Zip and Jaz drives to work on my PB G4's? As you can tell, I move forward very slowly and giving up my trusted Kanga is a big step for me I'd like to be able to move between my Kanga and G4s for a while longer.
    Thanks to anyone who has the patience to read thru all this stuff and provide suggestions.

    USB and Firewire Zip and Jazz drives exist which work with Mac OS X a lot better than SCSI. I would suggest selling the old SCSI one to someone who can better use it, and get yourself more up to date drives:

  • How can I get an HP Deskjet 882C to work with Snow Leopard?

    Is there a way to get our HP Deskjet 882C to work with Snow Leopard?  This printer is a workhorse, and even though it is so old, our budget and common sense say not to get rid of it.

    Install the HPIJS package. This is an open source set of drivers for older printers.  HP dropped support for a whole lot of printers when Snow Leopard was developed.  These drivers fill the gap.
    You will need to install three components - Ghostscript, Foomatic RIP and the hpijs package.  They are all on the HPIJS web page.  Once installed, restart your Mac, connect your printer.  You will probably need to go into System Preferences > Print & Fax to select the printer and set it as your default printer.  After that it works great.  And it also works on Lion. 

  • Can anyone recommend a print server that will work with Mac & PCs?

    Can anyone recommend a wireless print server that will work with Macs and PCs ?

    Wireless has a disadvantage for many Powerbooks.  Unless yours supports 802.11g, it is not secure.  So it must support Airport Extreme on the Powerbook to have a secure wireless network.   Also many printers only support 802.11b, making matters worse, as that is not secure.  See my FAQ* on printing:
    http://www.macmaps.com/printersx.html
    Some printers have ethernet ports, which would allow you to use a Wireless ethernet bridge that is 802.11g.  Similarly you could use one on the Mac, and then you'd have your wireless printing.  Ask the printer manufacturer what might be possible.  The last thing you want is an insecure network, especially if you are at most 4500 meters/1500 feet from someone who could pick it up and log into it that you don't want.

  • Can anyone recommend a printer which will actually work with mac 10.4.11 ?

    Hi all! I have had problems getting a printer which will actually work with my macbook 10.4.11. I've tried HP deskjet f4180 (supposed to be compatible) and various lexmarks (no compatible software). Apple and hp, and my local curry's have not been able to assure me which printer will DEFINATELY work. I just wanted to hear from other Mac users with 10.4.11, if they had actually been able to find a printer which works properly. Would be greatful for any recommendations of printer's which are actually compatible with the updated tiger 10.4.11
    Many thanks.
    Crazynow!!

    I read your previous posts, but had just upgraded to 10.4.11 & hadn't check my printers. All 3 of these work: Apple laserwriter 360, Brother HL 1440, and Brother MFC 7820N. I print to all of these wirelessly via airport.

    You can't; there's no Thunderbolt port on a Mac Pro. If you just bought the display, try to swap it for the standard 27" LED display with the mini display port connector (that assumes your Mac Pro is a 3,1 or later, which has a mini display port).

  • Can't get the Toslink (Optical) out to work with Airport Express

    I have the monster cable hooked up but get no optical out. I hooked up the mini plug to RCA and that works but the optical doesn't. Is there a setting I'm missing. I know the cable is working because I hooked it up to my mini computer and get the red light coming out the end. I don't get any light from the airport expess mini plug to Toslink.

    Same problem here. Just bought an optical cable with the mini toslink connector (to work with the express and computers). I can get audio if I connect the cable to my computer, but no audio from the express. Regular analog audio comes out fine, but I cannot get the optical to work.
    I can't find any preference or setting to change and have tried resetting the base station. Anyone have an idea?
