Deskjet F2480 manual pring both sides

HP Deskjet F2480, Dell Hardware, Windows 7 and windows office 2010 Home edition, hard wired to printer.
Manualy printing both sides mixes up the pages.
It would appear that first print odd numbered pages prints 1,2,3,4etc. then when turned and continue clicked it prints 5,6,7,8etc.
I have >30 page reports to print.
How do I overcome this?
Thanks

Hello Leztherockie,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you're having issues manually printing both sides using the Deskjet F2480. I will do my best to assist you! Could you try printing from a different program on your computer to see if you're receiving the same problem? Please let me know on this post.
Have you installed the full feature drivers for this printer on your computer? I would recommend following this entire Microsoft Office document on Print on both sides of the paper (duplex printing) in Word to make sure the print settings are correct.
I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great day!

  • 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.

  • 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,

  • Deskjet f2480 - duplex / 2-side printing

    Hello there,
    i have been trying to get this HP deskjet F2480 to print double sided but it always prints the odd pages but i cannot get it to print the even pages.
    my previous hp had an onscreen and a button prompt for the reverse side printing. this one doesnt.
    i have contacted the HP online technical team twice now. the first time the technician insisted that this model doesnt support duplex printing (despite the HP website saying that it does) and the second time i was told that it must be due to a corrupt software. i have therefore uninstalled it, reinstalled, installed all the available patches from HP website and this ....printer is still only printing odd pages! furthermore, the printer gets 'jammed' with the even pages still waiting in the queue to be printed. it is impossible to 'cancel' the printing at this stage and the only solution is to restart my laptop and disconnect from mains the printer....
    has anyone had come accross the same issue? what is the solution?
    or this printer just symply doesnt support duplex printing???
    thank you for all possible advice.

    Hi Badly%20Drawn%20Boy,
    Please let me know what version of Adobe Reader are you using.
    You might try printing any other PDF file with the same settings and check for the same.
    Let me know.

  • How can I sync my photo contents in iPhoto on my iMac to my new iPAD's iPhoto?  I follwed all the instructions on manuals for both iPAD and iTunes re syncing, but I cannot find "phone button" under Device name on iTunes page. Please help!  Thanks!

    I follwed all the instructions on manuals for both iPAD and iTunes re syncing, but after physically connecting iPAD with iMac with USB or via WiFi I still cannot find "phone button" under Device name on iTunes page. Please help!  Thanks!
    I have been creating a photo book using a lots of photographs on iPhoto, and then I took another photos by using new iPAD which I want to integrate with the original album/book on iMac. I was able to import them from iPAD's iPhoto to iMac's iPhoto.  However I cannot import or transfer or sync anything from iMac's iPhoto to that of my iPAD. 
    So my iPhoto page on iPAD contains only 3 or 4 newly created albums, and no other info.  That means no syncing....
    I am supposed to be able to work on this project on either of these iPAD and iMac, correct?
    I am puzzled.  I appreciate for your advice and help.
    Thank you!

    It doesn't appear under the iPad device on the left-hand sidebar of iTunes, you need to select the iPad device on the sidebar and then select the Photos tab on the right-hand side of iTunes e.g.
    And then on the right-hand side :

  • 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

    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.
    Bardon

    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.

  • I want to upgrade iOS from 5 to 6, but when I go to synch everything in preparation, it tells me I will lose all my stuff on the iPhone and iPad which is unique.  How can I backup or do a "real synch" (both sides have same data) and then upgrade?

    I want to upgrade iOS from 5 to 6, but when I go to synch everything in preparation, it tells me I will lose all my stuff on the iPhone and iPad which is/are  unique.  How can I backup or do a "real synch" (both sides have same data at end of process) and then upgrade?

    You should really read the manual.
    "How do you restore from backup? "
    Restore.  When given the choice, choose to use backup.
    "And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
    They would only be where you put them.  What program did you use to import them?  Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all.  You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
    If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

  • Print issue: "Print on both sides..." checkbox not present in V10.1.2 under Win XP SP3

    Since upgrading to Adobe Reader 10.1.2 (wish I never had), my "Print on both sides" option is evidently ON (by default), but I cannot turn it off because the check box to do so is not present in the Print dialog:
    The checkbox should be underneath the "Choose papre source" box, but it's not. Hence the advice in http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/928/cpsid_92870.html is useless. I have done a Control Panel > Programs > Change/repair, still the same problem. Also have tried Adobe Reader > Edit > Preferences > General > uncheck "Enable protected mode at start-up" (suggested in another thread), problem persists. (Re-enabled Protected mode). 
    Using Win XP Pro SP3.
    This is a real pain....every print job brings the dreaded "Print on both sides instructions", with wasted paper, prompting each page to print manually, etc.  I have seen this scenario reported by others...Adobe, please fix this!

    Hi Johann,
    You printer driver doesn's support duplex printing, because of which you are not able to see that checkbox.
    You can try the following to disable duplex printing through registry:
    1. Go to : Start-> Run-> type Regedit-> click OK.
    2. It open registry editior. Locate the registry:
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\AVGeneral]
    3. Find the existing DWORD value which is named :
    "iDuplexMode"=dword:00000001".
    Set the value either as:
    1 = no duplex
    0 (or key does not exist) = duplex

    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:

  • 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.
