Cp2025n color laserjet manual duplexing side two portrait & landscape transition issue

I regularly print the same documents. Each document has a portrait section, a landscape section, a portrait section then a landscape section, then a portrait section. I manually duplex the job (because I did not buy a duplexer and I am saving trees).
On the first side of the page, everything works great... job runs straight through the printer then I am prompted to insert the half printed pages into tray 1 and push OK on the printer.  The first portrait section is printed. The printer stops on the first landscape page and prompts me to load paper into tray 1 (even though it is already there) and push OK again, I do so, and it proceeds till the job switches to portrait mode, prompts me to load paper into tray 1 (even though it is already there) and push OK again, I do so, and it proceeds till the job switches to landscape mode, etc... making me babysit the printer as it prints the second side of each job.
I have multiple different print jobs with the similar layout... portrait, landscape, portrait, landscape, and finishing with portrait. All of them behave the same. The number of pages in the portrait section and landscape section vary by job and within job. The prompt from the printer is always at the transition point between portrait & landscape mode.  The printer only stops when printing side two of the page.
I believe I am running the most current drivers and software on my PC for the printer. The update task runs regularly and is not informing me that there is new software available. The only indication of what firmware is running on the printer is this info
Firmware Datecode: 20100512
This strikes me as a printer driver issue... Anybody got any other ideas? Anybody noticed this same issue? Can someone from HP test this out for themselves and verify there is a problem? I have tried searching the forums but every post I have found so far is not on point.
Thanks!

  • HP Color LaserJet 9500 Duplexing - does not work

    It seems that Leopard has some major issues with Duplexing. I see quite a number of posts on this topic for a variety of printers.
    I have found that the HP Color LaserJet 9500 does not duplex from Leopard. It worked fine before the upgrade.
    I verified that the Duplexing option is selected in the driver's installable options.
    When i choose "two sided" from the print dialog box, it prints as one sided instead.

    No, in this case I am printing straight to JetDirect.
    However, here's the weird thing. It is now working sporadically. What I find curious is that there are two duplexing settings. One in General settings, marked "two sided", and one in Layout, where you can choose short edge, long edge, or no duplexing. I wonder if there is some weird interaction here. In any case, this is not well documented. There was never a "two sided" option in 10.4.

    Print out the supplies status page, and let me know if all the colors print correctly?

  • HP Color LaserJet 2550 - Duplexing Broke

    Ok, I have just downloaded the latest drivers from HP, which came out Jan 28 of this year, and downloaded Apple's updated HP LaserJet drivers, yet the drivers don't allow duplexing.
    This is becoming infuriating, I am not going back to using a IMB Clone as a Print Server because of the PC side duplexing works. On the Mac side with 10.5.1 installed it doesn't.
    I need to know an ETA upon when this will be fixed, I can not afford to not have duplexing for much longer. I hate to say it but unless HP fixes this issue this may be the last time I ever buy an HP printer.

    None needed, printer imploded.

  • HP CP-2025DN Color LaserJet Printer (duplex)

    I have recently upgraded to Windows 7 and it does not recognize that my printer has duplex capatbility.  i have turned on in the Advanced tab, print on Backside.  To no avail.  Any help out there?

    I am replying to myself...
    The solution is here: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Software-and/C7280-windows-7-x64-latest-drivers-13-1...
    To summarise:
    1) Go to "Devices and Printers" in windows 7, right click and select Printer properties
    2) go to device settings and under installable options --> duplex change "not installed" to "installed" and press OK

  • Adding a networked HP Color Laserjet 2600N

    Hi All;
    I have an HP Color Laserjet 2600N that is connected to my home network. I assigned the printer a static IP, subnet, and GW address. I can ping the printer from both macs (New Macbool pro and an older G5 system), as well as my windows PC. The printer is connected to both the PC via USB as well as cat5 to the HP jetdirect card. I can even HTTP to the management portion of the printer from both macs. When I try adding the printer as an IP printer, the status view on the mac shows up as printer ready, but I cannot print a test page or anything. I even tried setting up to print to the PC as a print server and the mac sees it but doesnt print. I have tried the generic drivers, HP drivers, etc...An I missing something?

    Hi inglewood,
    Can I suggest re-configuring the ToolBox. 
    Opening the HP Color LaserJet 2600nToolboxStart the HP Color LaserJet 2600n Toolbox using either of the following methods:
    Click Start , Programs or All Programs (Microsoft Windows XP or Microsoft Windows Server 2003), HP , HP Color LaserJet 2600n , and then HP Color LaserJet 2600n toolbox from the Microsoft Windows desktop.
    Double-click the HP Color LaserJet 2600n toolbox icon on the Microsoft Windows desktop.
    HP Toolbox TabsHP Color LaserJet 2600n Toolbox contains two independent windows which can be toggled back and forth: HP Color LaserJet 2600n Toolbox window category tabs and the Device Settings window category tabs.
    HP Color LaserJet 2600n Toolbox window category tabs:
    Status tab
    Troubleshooting tab
    Alerts tab
    Documentation tab 
    From here you should be able to configure the frequency of report printing. 
    Thanks.

  • Manual duplex HP LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP M276

    I have a HP LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP M276 and my manual duplex is not duplexing properly.
    There are no error messages just me grumbling at the final output.
    I am using Windows 8.1 Pro and no new hard or software changes.
    Here is what happens:
    I am attempting to print 5 pages with the manual duplex option checked
    3 pages come out (pages 1,3, & 5) and a pop up window says to reinstall the pages and hit ok.
    I reinstall the pages (not adulterating the page order) Just take them off the printer and put in the tray face down with the top of paper toward the back of the printer.
    What comes out is page 2 on the back of page 5 instead of being on page 1; page 4 is on the back of page 3 and page 1 is blank.
    Why doesn't it know how to reverse print the odd page numbers so page 2 will end up on page the back of page 1 etc?
    I tried it with a 3 page document and page 2 ended up on the back of page 3 instead of page 1. Page 1 came out blank.

    Hello, I understand that you are having an issue with printing in manual mode.  When printing documents in manual duplex, the best method is to select manual duplex in the printer driver and not through the application.  There is a public document that might help, which can be found at the HP product/support page.  When the page is availalbe search on this public document id number for instructions-c02851622.   Please reply if this does or does not help.

  • Automatic Duplex Printing not working on HP Color LaserJet 3600DN in Windows 7. It worked before.

    I have an HP color laserjet 3600 DN on Windows 7.  This computer came w/ Windows Vista and a 3600DN driver was installed and the computer was upgraded to Windows 7.  The printer did automatic duplex printing.
    At one point, my computer indicated that it could no longer find the printer.  In an effort to solve this problem, I uninstalled the printer. When I tried to reinstall the printer the computer could not find the driver. At that point I tried to download a windows 7 CLJ 3600 DN driver.  Since HP doesn't provide this driver for Windows 7, I tried to download the Windows Vista driver for 3600DN.
    However, when I go to the appropriate webpage by following the links, only drivers for Color Laserjet 3600 are listed (no 3600DN drivers). 
    As far we can tell it only allows Manual Duplex printing (no automatic duplex printing).  Clicking the "Two Sided Duplex Printing" option is there but only works when the "print on both sides (Manual)" is set on the Finishing page.  If manual is turned off, then it becomes single sided.
    Can I get a driver that will allow me to do automatic duplex printing on on my HP CLJ 3600 DN using Windows 7?

    How did you replave the duplex belt? How to deassemble the backside of a officejet and click the new belt on? I can't see nor do it y self

  • 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.

  • HP Laserjet M1212NF USB no longer printing in manual duplex mode

    Hello All,
    I am currently having issues with my HP LaserJet M1212NF printer connected via USB.  First, basic system information:
    Windows 7 64-bit
    Now, some backstory:
    The printer was initially setup using Network installation.  Then, I moved and could no longer access the network, so I deleted it from the Windows Device and Printer area and reinstalled it as a USB perinter.  I installed all the updated drivers and Firmware updates.  The printer now CANNOT print in duplex mode.  I choose Manual Duplex in the printer settings AND when I print a multipage document.  The printer simply prints the document normally, with no duplex.  Please help.  I've googled the problem, but have come up empty handed.

    Hi Wilhendrickx,
    I understand you aren't able to print two sided.
    Thank you for your reply.
    I will be happy to help you with this.
    You can set the two sided option two different ways. Try both to see if it makes a difference.
    To set the two sided printing for all print jobs.
    Go to start, devices and printers, right click the printer, left click printer
    properties, click on the finishing tab and check Print on both sides, (manually) apply and OK.
    To set the two sided printing for 1 job.
    From the application go to file, print, preferences, click on the finishing tab and
    check Print on bot sides, (manually) apply and OK.
    Disable the bidirectional support to see if that will make a difference.
    Go to start, devices and printers, right click the printer, left click printer
    properties, click on the ports tab at the top, uncheck Enable bidirectional support.
    If it didn't work then go back in and check it again.
    I would download and run the Print and Scan Doctor since it might resolve the issue
    automatically.
    Find and Fix Common Printer Problems Using HP Diagnostic Tools for Windows.
    If that doesn't work then I would uninstall and reinstall the printer software.
    Uninstalling the Printer Software.
    Here is a URL to download and install the latest drivers again.
    HP LaserJet Pro M1212nf Multifunction Printer Drivers.
    Try the two sided printing now.
    Hope this helps.

  • HP Color LaserJet CM2320fxi MFP - Full Duplex Problem

    Hello!
    I've got LaserJet CM232 and Win7 (x64). My problem is that when I'm printing for example 4 pages of a document it's printing only in full duplex, so 2 pages printed on both sides. I can't find where can I fix this duplex problem, I'd like to choose manually if it will be printing in full duplex or not. Help me find a solution, please.
    Second problem refers to the time of printing. When I print something I have to wait several minutes to print it. Is that a RAM problem? More RAM memory will resolve this problem?
    Thanks a lot for your replies! I'd really appreciate any help!

  • Color Laserjet 2600n: only red not printing properly, washed out on the left side

    Hello,
    Our HP2600 Color Laser printer does not print well whatever includes the color red. On a portrait layout the 2" from the left are washed out in red. We only use new HP cartridges, clean the machine regularly.
    Error happens with different computers, XP and OS 10.
    Machine is about 2.5 years old, estimated 100,000 pages have been printed on it.
    Thanks
    Su

    I have two 2600n color laserjet printers.
    One has color fading down the left hand side and I understand that this is due to dust accumulating on mirrors and laser.
    More worrying is that the second printer will not print the color red at all - it gives an orange output

  • Manual Duplexing use on a HP Laserjet P1102w printer-Ho​w is it done?

    This is a first using a manual duplex option on a printer and I have been unable to print on both sides of an HP Laserjet P1102w printer, despite doing the following:
    Went to Print Setup
    Under Finish: chose Print on Both Sides Manually
    Left edge binding
    and although it prints....I can't seem to get the 'booklet' to print correctly on the other side; Not even sure how to correctly get the paper in so it doesn't double print on the same page.
    : I've tried to print first reverse pages,
    then even pages in reverse,
    but still unable to get the pages in order to fold and create a booklet or print multiple pages on both sides...has anyone had experience with this on what is the best way to try and print documents in booklet form or just both pages to save paper?
    Is there a driver or support that will help with this?
    No visual screen pops up on the monitor to help with placing the papers so it will print correctly and I have already tried with just a 6 page booklet and failed there.
    I've tried googling the results, checked the HP website for any information and either have missed the support information to do this or assume there is none.
    Any insight would be appreciated.
