Can't print both sides (manually) with Windows 7 but can with XP

My OfficeJet 5510 has "Print Both Sides" as an option on the "Finishing" tab, when I use it from the desktop running XP, which it's connected to with USB. That option doesn't appear anywhere when I try to print from my laptop running Windows 7, over a wireless network. This issue seems to be mentioned in many posts, but never seems to be answered. Is 2-sided printing (manually reinserting the pages) an option with Windows 7, or just with XP?

Hi  - The difference is that with XP, you're using the HP print driver and with Win7, you're using the Microsoft driver, since it doesn't look like HP made a "Full-featured" driver for the OJ5510, since Win7 came out well after the OJ5510 released.  Unfortunately, it doesn't look like you'll be able to manually print on both sides of the page unless the software app you're printing from offers a feature.  If the app doesn't have an option specifically for manual duplexing, you might be able to specify printing only odd numbered pages, then re-loading those pages and printing the even numbered pages.  Not a great workaround, but at least an option.
Hope that helps.

  • Can manually subscribe with Windows but not with Mac

    For some reason I am able to manually subscribe to the below feed just fine with iTunes on my PC (Windows XP) but I get an error when trying with my iMac (OS X 10.5.8):
    *http://feeds.feedburner.com/Metalspeak*
    The error I'm getting with my iMac references "An unknown error occured (400)"
    I was troubleshooting a different feed and am getting similar results: it works fine with the PC, but not with the iMac:
    *http://feeds.feedburner.com/MetalsPeakPodcast*
    The error I'm getting on this feed however states "The file might be corrupted, or a file type that iTunes cannot play"
    Can anyone think of why these feeds work with Windows but not with Mac? Any advice is appreciated!

    The problem lies with the URLs for your media files. The one for the top episode is
    http://www.metalspeak.com/episodes/MetalsPeak 10 - GenresPeak.mp3
    This URL contains spaces, which are not allowed in a URL. Browsers - and from what you say iTunes in Windows - handles this by substituting the code %20 for each space when requesting the file; iTunes for Mac does not.
    You need either to change the filename for each media file, removing the spaces or substituting something such as an underscore, and then amending the feed accordingly: or at the least to amend the feed by replacing each space with %20.
    It's the same problem in the other feed.

  • Firefox works at mcdonalds with windows but not with linux

    I have Windows 7 Pro and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on my laptop. I use firefox browser on both OS's. I am able to connect to internet when I use Windows OS and run firefox at McDonalds. But, when I try to use firefox and Ubuntu OS it will not connect while at McDonalds. Otherwise, the Ubuntu distro and firefox work fine everywhere else.

    Thanks for the response. To narrow this down a bit more, the wireless makes the connection to their router, but, mozilla does not bring up the splash page that is needed to accept their connection. Again, it only happens when running firefox with Ubuntu; not when running firefox with Windows.

  • New shuffle works with Windows but not with Mac

    Just got a new 2nd gen shuffle. Initially it was formatted as Fat32 per Disk Utility on Mac. I reformatted to Mac OS (journaled). iTunes was recognizing the new shuffle on the mac and I created a playlist that showed it took up disk space in the "summary" tab. However nothing played on the shuffle when I disconnected it. I was trying to update the software but that function is greyed out. I tried to click "enable disc use" and when I applied it, it says it can't find the ipod. It wont let me update anything. The only thing I can do is create a playlist that the summary says is on the ipod but it doesnt play.
    I then connected it to my Windows XP machine and it asked me to reformat the drive, which I did, then everything worked flawlessly. I would really prefer to download things to the shuffle from my Mac than Windows XP but it just won't let me. I tried using "iPod Updater" and the most recent one from the list was 03/2006 and that didn't help anyhting. "iPod Reset Utility" would not recognize the ipod to reset it even after I sucessfully set it to Mac OS journaled in Disk Utility.
    I am very frustrated. This also happened to my Nano I purchased a few months ago and I have to organize it on the PC as well.
    I am running iTunes 7.2

    I have exactly the same problem with my two
    computers, both of which are Macs. The shuffle is
    recognised on one, but not the other.
    Here's a screenshot of iTunes ->

    t-recognised.png
    BTW, I also have an older white iPod in use on the
    Mac that doesn't work.
    I've tried a few things (including running iTunes
    under a different user account, reinstalling iTunes)
    but nothing seems to help. The only thing left to do
    is reinstall the OS, but that sounds a little extreme!
    That's way too extreme... Use the shuffle Reset Utility.

  • Laptop monitor stays black with Windows but not with Ibuntu

    Can someone tell me why my daughter's Compaq laptop has no video, monitor is black, in Windows Vista but works fine with Ibuntu?  The service shop said it is a bad video card but wouldn't that apply to the computer and not work in either operating system.  I keep trying to repair it in Vista but this has me really puzzled.  If it works with one OS shouldn't it work with the other?

    Hello, @cliftram 
    I see that the screen is black on your daughters notebook. That you've installed another OS and it was working. I will try to help you with this.
    The short answers to your questions, would you're right.
    "wouldn't that apply to the computer and not work in either operating system" - Yes, if the issue was a faulty graphics's card neither OS would work.
    "If it works with one OS shouldn't it work with the other?" -- same answer as above.
    What this indicates, is there's an issue on the Windows side.
    As i'm on sure where the black screen occurs, but try booting into Safe Mode. If you can do this, then something may be going on with the OS or driver.
    If you got into safe mode, try a clean boot first. Restart and try starting up normally. If this works an application on the computer is causing the issue. If to doesn't try, using the HP Recovery Manager to restore all the drivers on the notebook. (if your model doesn't have this, pleas let me know).
    If you cannot even boot into Safe Mode, the only option left (if you haven't tried it), is a System Recovery (for the Windows side). Make sure you back up prior to doing this.
    Let me know what you're able to do.
    Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

  • Can't Print Book from iPhoto or Preview, but Can Print from Adobe Accrobat

    I have spent 2.5 hours on the phone with HP, an am now unsure if the problem is with HP or Apple.
    When I try to print a single page from an iPhoto Book (or a group of pages), I receive an error message on the HP 4650 printer (49.4C02). I saved the book as a PDF and tried to print from Preview with the same results. I then opened the PDF file in Adobe Acrobat and WAS able to print. I am able to print individual photos from iPhoto.
    I searched this discussion board for problems printing to the HP 4650. One suggestion was to use the driver for the HP 4600. I tired that and it produced the same error on the printer.
    Using Adobe Acrobat is a viable work-a-round, but I am curious why I cannot print a book from iPhoto. Any thoughts as to why Adobe Acrobat works and iPhoto and Preview do not?
    Thanks,
    -Dale

    HP has _ a firmware release that addresses this error _ - have you installed it?

  • 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

  • How do I get my macbook OS X 10.5.8 to print both sides of paper with HP Officejet 6000 wireless

    How do I get my macbook OS X 10.5.8 to print both sides of paper with HP Officejet 6000 wireless?

    If it has that available, when the Print Dialog comes up, click on Copies & Pages, choose Layout, look for 2 sided printing... some Printer Drivers may have it under abother heading.

  • I made a project with multiple tracks and had it all panned and mixed.  Now it's only playing in the right speaker.  Not even regestering a left side in the master volume?  What happened, how can I get both sides back?

    I made a project with multiple tracks and had it all panned and mixed.  Now it's only playing in the right speaker.  Not even regestering a left side in the master volume?  What happened, how can I get both sides back?

    Thank you for that info.
    For video, the codec is MPEG-4 Video (XVID) and for audio it says MPEG Audio Layer 1/2/3 (mpga).
    There are two issues with that file:
    The first is the Xvid CODEC (not meant for editing), and then the MPEG Audio/MPGA. I would convert that file, to something that is more editable.
    Good luck,

  • When I first installed my HP 7510 All in one it would automatica​lly print both sides not now

    When I first installed my HP 7510 onto my HP Pavillion Slimline it would print both sides automatically and wait for the ink to dry before taking the paper back in to print the other side. Now if I want both side printing I have to take the paper out manually and reinsert it.. I am running Windows 7

    Hi there,
    Try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docnam​e=c03275041&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
    It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on.
    Best of Luck!

  • Can I install both mac os and Windows 7 on MacBook Pro?

    Can I install both mac os and Windows 7 on MacBook Pro?
    I saw Windows XP picture on this website. And I would like to try mac os while using Windows 7.
    And does Windows 7 on MacBook Pro support high quality game experience? Im sick and tired of reducing to low quality graphics to play some nice games such as GTA 4 and new released games. Hope I can play games with high quality.

    If you have a brand new MacBook Pro or have installed Lion on an older one, you can only instal Windows 7 on Boot Camp (for some reason you can't use Vista or earlier). If you have a Windows 7 CD and a license, it's pretty easy to do via Boot Camp. See here for instructions: http://support.apple.com/manuals/#macos
    If you install via Boot Camp, Windows 7 will run as fast as your computer is. Generally, MacBook Pros are very fast laptops, so you should be pretty good. That being said, just like any laptop, if it's a cheaper MacBook Pro, you won't have access to as capable graphics processing as more high-end machines. So if it's a newer game with crazy impressive graphics, you will likely not be able to tap into the highest settings on the game on any laptop.

  • Printing both sides

    My MacBook Pro won't give me a Print Both Side Option From my Brothrt Printer. The Booklet option in the print window isn't the solution. I upgraded to 10.9.
    Ito seems that the 2 sided option is complicating things. Anyone want to simplify? All other applications print 2 sided on computer but PDFs don't.

    Hi immisty,
    Because of the way printing on both sides work, the second side is printed a bit different that the first side.  There might be some adjustments though.  Which model printer do you have?  Which program are you printing with?  Do you know which driver version you have installed on your computer?

  • Can I use both SID and SERVICE_NAME in my DG configuration?

    Hello,
    Need little guidance for the following senario
    I've got a shared database where more then one application connects to. To configure failover from primary to standby, I need SERVICE_NAME'ing but my applications connect using SID naming conventions to this DB
    Can I use both SID and SERVICE_NAME in DG configuration + make the applications failover to STANDBY DB as well?
    Regards,
    Kam

    You will hardly achieve a proper connect to your new Primary using SIDs after switchover.
    Stay away from using SID - connects with your applications and use application services for that instead.
    Kind regards

  • How can I print a pdf file in Windows 8?

    I'm new to Windows 8. How can I print a pdf file in Windows 8?

    Well, you can install Adobe Reader XI - not the version for Windows 8 tablets, but the one for regular PCs. This is just the same in Windows 8 as other systems, and can print. The tablet reader, which also runs on PCs, can't print.

  • How can I print a web page to a hard copy with Adobe?

    How can I print a web page to a hard copy with Adobe? When I print this particular page in the usual way it prints only the text of that page, not the photo that's also part of that page.

    I have Adobe SendNow, but I can buy another Adobe product if it will solve my web page printing problem.
