Duplex printing in Word 14.4.6 on HP2015d

Under layout the print double-sided option is greyed out. But the printer prints pdfs doublesided so this is presumably a microsoft word issue (as usual).

Duplex Printing Problem - Word 2007, Vista and HP Officejet Pro L7780

I'm having trouble with duplex printing on my new HP Officejet Pro L7780, from Word 2007, running on a brand new Vista system. I've also had this same problem (repeatable) with two other computers, running XP Professional/Word 2003, XP Home/Word 2003. All of the service packs have been installed for the operating system, word, and printer.
If you print a landscape document, using the auto duplex setting for the HP printer, the margins will print out offset by .25 inches, on the left and rigt margins. So if your margin is 1 inches on right and left, the margins will print to .75 on one side and 1.25 on the other. This would be annoying, except that I'm trying to print brochures and books, which requires that the pages print out exactly as set up... "close enough" isn't working for me
The way I have replicated this problem is as follows: set up a document in landscape format, using the default margins. Insert an image on page one, size it so it takes the full margin area. On the second page, fill it up with text. Print the document, selecting the printer properties and setting Print on Both Sides=Automatic. The easiest way see the problem is by holding the document up to the light. The front and back margins should match and they don't.
Any help you can provide would be very much appreciated.
Diana

Diana,
This problem is perhaps much larger than you might have imagined. We have tried to work with Hewlett Packard for over two years on the duplex printing problems. In the process, we have expended over 100 hours of effort in troubleshooting the problem which has included updating software, reinstalling software, developing test documents, escalating issues, submitting technical findings, and in purchasing replacements. Unfortunately, our efforts to interact with Hewlett Packard excalated support have resulted in an aire of apathy, disinterest, incompetence, frustration, redundancy, occasional discourtesy, and an outright lack of professional decorum - something inconceivable of a large, reputable company.
We have identified several problems with duplex printing. The duplex printing problems include irregular margin increases (.25 to .50 inch), margin shifts, cut-off text, compressed text, and compressed graphics. Please note that most of these problems are only evident when printing documents from computer applications to the printer. If the user simply uses the front printer panel to copy in duplex mode, these problems are not always evident. This suggests that the printer mechanics are capable of properly duplexing and that the problem lies in the drivers.
The problem is evident on the HP OfficeJet Pro L7780, Photosmart L7180, Photosmart C6150, Photosmart 3310, and likely on many, many other HP models. The problem is evident on many computers (HP, IBM, Toshiba, and Dell), is evident in multiple applicatons (Word, Wordperfect, Excel, Peachtree, Notepad, and many more), and is evident on multiple operating systems (Windows XP Home, Windows XP Professional, Windows XP Media Center Edition, and Microsoft Vista).
We consider ourselves to be extremely polite, patient individuals, but have nearly been driven to outrage by the indignant disregard offered us by HP's escalation support department; a department which should represent the cream-of-the-crop in both service and technical expertise. Given the ease with which the problem can be duplicated, we expected an extremely quick resolution by HP who, to our knowledge, has never even made the effort to duplicate the problem in-house on our behalf.
Ironically, HP highly advertises their J.D. Powers rated technical support, yet it appears that they actually have extremely poor published consumer rankings in some of today's mainstream computer magazines. HP technical support makes no apologies for the fact the user cannot use a major feature of their printers, offers no indication that the problem is even being addressed, and off-loads the responsibility by suggesting that we contact Microsoft (who is to blame for this issue).
Thank you, Diane, for your message. We had a hard time imagining that we were the only one experiencing this problem, especially when HP promotes such a representation. Which also begs the question why HP plays like the problem does not even exist? I also fail to understand why HP technical support shows so little interest in a problem that is easily duplicated and adversely affects a major feature of the printer which is commonly used by individuals purchasing equipment for its duplex capabilities.
This is sad because we have been a loyal customer of HP for over twenty-five years. There was a time when we would have happily endorsed HP's steller products and steller support (provided you could get a problem escalated). Now, however, they all-too-often appear to offer equipment that fails to support advertised features which is backed up by sub-standard support and extremely expensive ink. This is an especially sad commentary for users who are buying HP's upper-end printers and computers.
We desire to know if there are others out there experiencing similar problems? If you have experienced these problems or would like samples of the problems we have duplicated, please respond. I think the more information we gather, the better our chance of a successful resolution to a serious problem.
Thanks Everyone!

HP Laserjet 1018, Word 2007 on Windows XP - Duplex printing alignment

HP Laserjet 1018, Word 2007 on Windows XP
Want to Print a book on both sides of A4 paper. I am printing one page per
page (not the book mode).
If I print single sided, the top of the page (e.g. header text) on odd and
even pages are aligned. When I print duplex mode, odd pages print fine but
the even pages are shifted down. Thus the header text are not aligned.
I think this is more a problem with the way the printer is managing duplex
printing.While printing in duplex mode, the printer first prints in reverse (with bottom of
the page as ref) to enable placement of the output sheets back into the input
tray without rotation. Is this messing up the alignment?

Hi there,
Try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=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!

Duplex printing problem in Word 2010 but NOT in Excel 2010

At the risk of repeating an old question :
I have Windows 7 Pro, Office Professional 2010 and an HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus and two sided printing is a problem in Word.
Excel prints in Duplex by selecting "Print on both sides / Flip pages on short edge".
Word, though, with the exact same Setting, fails and the document is printed one two sheets of paper ... one side only. Seems rather bizarre.
Help would be appreciated.
Neil

Hi,
Which Word 2010 version do you use? Please try the Word 2010 14.0.4760.1000 version(We may upgrade or downgrade the version by install or uninstall the patches).
Next, we may try the workarounds which provide by other communicators, I copied here:
Workaround1:
File then Print
Go ahead and select manual print on both sides
Go to page setup, print options, and the advanced tab. Go all the way down and select "Print on the front of the sheet for duplex printing."
After printing the first set, I was able to just turn it 180 degrees and it worked just fine.
Workaround2:
As a work around I found if I ignore Words "Settings" and instead go into my printer properties, select the Finishing Tab, and select "Print on Both Sides (Manually)", the document will duplex print correctly. Requires 5 steps instead of 3

Turn Off Print Duplex in Microsoft Word

The print dialog box in Word for Mac 2011 for the HP Officejet 4630 does not appear to offer a single side or duplex option. What am I missing? I want to turn off duplex printing.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

On the Mac print dialogbox, in the middle, there is a tab, which is changable, click on it and select "Layout", you will see a "Two-Sided" option, change it to No.

Can't do duplex printing!

I'm in an office with four iMacs running OS X Leopard v10.5.8.
We're all using CS4 Acrobat 9 Pro v9.4.6 (which Check For Updates tells me is up-to-date).
We're printing to a networked Xerox Phaser 6180DN.
And we can't print anything in two-sided duplex from Acrobat Pro.
We can print in duplex from every other application on the iMacs (including other CS4 apps) without problem.
But I need to be able to print non-CS PDF files in duplex.
I've done Google searches and searches within Adobe Help.
I've found the File>Properties>Advanced>Duplex Flip Long Edge
This doesn't make any difference.
Please don't tell me to upgrade to CS5 or Acrobat X Pro ... that's out of my hands.
Please do tell me how I can enable duplex printing from Acrobat 9 Pro!

Guys ... I've been using Macs and Adobe products since the late 80s.
I still have a copy of Illustrator 88 (the original one) sitting on a ZIP disc somewhere.
I do have a clue on using these applications.
That's why problems like this are so frustrating. It should simply work ... and it doesn't!
And Yes ... both are set to double sided printing and No it doesn't print doubled sided:
1. File>Properties>Advanced>Duplex Mode is set to: Duplex Flip Long Edge
2. In the Layout pane in the Print window, Two Sided is set to Long Edge Binding
And all the pages are printed one one side of the paper.
Further, we went the long way around and tried to print the catalog directly from the source InDesign file, which takes fricking forever.
Even more annoying was that some of the pages were printed double sided and some of the pages were printed single sided.
Now, I can pull up large documents in Microsoft Word 2008 Mac (which I HATE - I use Apple Pages at home) and just click Two Sided from Off to Long Edge Binding ... and I get a perfect (well almost) double sided print.
Now what?????

Duplex printing in adobe reader XI

Ladies and Gentlemen,
I write because I have a problem with two-sided printing PDF files in Adobe Reader XI.
Summary of the problem:
When printing a PDF file that contains two pages I select the option "Print on both sides of the paper" parameters "by Flip on Long Edge" and the orientation of the "Auto. Vertical / horizontal. The result of these operations, when I print. Is that the first page prints correctly. On the back of the cards are printed the information from the second page in the correct format, but with the information from the first in a unique way, namely by me look as if they were printed in a mirror image.
Prior to printing that is done smoothly, printed data to improve on the first and on the other side. Unfortunately, I am unable to say what was the turning point after which it changed, because I'm not a direct user of this computer. The printer supports duplex printing function, of course. Other programs such as Word office document are printing correctly on both sides as expected.
The steps that I took to correct the problem:
1. Restart your computer.
2. Restart the printer.
3. Re-install the program Adobre Reader.
4. The use of different combinations of print settings in Adobe Reader.
The type of computer:
-Computer PC.
-Operating-System: Windows XP SP3.
-Printer Connected directly to the computer using the USB cable.
Sincerely

Thanks for the option. It did work setting the print as image on. Does this mean there is something wrong with how the PDF was created or that Adobe Reader is just having a problem reading it?

HP LaserJet M1217 nfw MFP duplex printing mac

This printer prints duplex manually. Is there any way (as there is in Windows) to set printing to duplex so alternating pages print on one side and then paper is reinserted to complete duplex printing. Duplex option is grayed out in Word and other programs. Doing the job completely manually would be annoying.
Thanks to anyone who can help!

Hi,
Try following the steps below and let me know if that helps:
From Word, open the Print dialog.
Click the Copies & Pages dropdown menu and select Layout.
Set Two-Sided as Lpng-Edge binding and click on Print.
If you cannot see the exact options, go to Printers & Scanners and click the Plus sign.
Select the M1217 printer and then click the Use drop down menu.
Be sure to select the printer model rather than the default AirPrint option and check for any difference.
Please let me know of any issue,

Automatic duplex printing not found only manual duplex

in the Data sheet for theHP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M476 series, it clearly states in the spec sheet under:
Duplex print options [under MFP M476nw Manual (driver support provided)] under MFP M476dw Automatic (standard)
However, when I choose to print ,say a Word doc or a multipage PDF with my MFP M476dw - the only option I have, when I hit Copies & Pages is Manual Duplex!!!

Duplex printing. No dialog window on the HP LaserJet 1020

I'm running WinXP Pro, but I think it doesn't matter so much, because I've used duplex printing on it for a year without any problems. But now the dialog window, which must appear while using duplex printing is gone
When the Print on both sides instruction dialog window appears on the PC's monitor, follow the instructions, says the Duplexing Manual.
How to solve it, please help

Victory at last. OK, in case there is anyone out there who still has this (and start up no start) problems.
1. Delete the HP 1020 printer software via the Printers box from Control Panel (Visa 32 bit OS).
To do this, right click on the HP 1020 printer image, open the box, click on delete to remove the old driver & printer.
2. Go to HP 1020 site and find software downloads (words to that effect).
3. Download most recent driver (it is a plug and play driver -- currently [2-2011] there are 3 choices, this one is on top)
4. Install this driver. It will take a few minutes to complete
5. Plug in the printer and power up.
6 Once the dialogue box on the task bar says the printer is installed it's time to restart (if you look in the Printers Menu you probably won't find the printer. Don't panic yet)
7. Restart
8. Now look in the Printer Menu again. You 1020 should be there.
9. Test and good luck.
If this isn't the exact sequence for your computer, try a variation. The plug and play doesn't work on top of old software. Clear that old dog out and install the latest [Nov 2010 date] driver first, then plug in, then restart your computer.
Too Bad HP didn't publish this "fix" or even explain it on its woebegotten website. You can't drag this stuff up with a search engine. Next time you shop printers, tell the salesperson you deserve a big price break for putting up with all of this nonsense from HP.

Laser Jet CP1025nw: Duplex printing not available from Mac

I just bought a new HP Laser Jet CP1025nw printer and have installed it for wireless use. When trying to print from my Mac (OS X 10.9.3) the option for (manual) duplex printing is not showing up (greyed out) in the print dialogues in applications (e.g. Microsoft Word, Adobe Acrobat Pro).

Is there a way to use the (non-manual) duplex printing on my HP C6280 on Microsoft Office 2007?

The entire time I have had my HP C6280 All-in-one printer I have not known it was possible to print two-sided directly with the printer. The print dialog box on Microsoft Office has a check box for Manual Duplex which requires removing the stack of pages and reinserting to print the second side. However, today, for the first time, I used the print feature on Google Chrome. It had a check box for 2-sided printing and I was surprised when the page which emerged from the printer was already printed on both front and back! I would really like to use this capability of my printer all the time, not just from Google Chrome. I normally do most of my printing from Microsoft Office products (Word, Excel, etc.).

Nevermind. I just read the duplex printing troubleshooting guide and found my answer.
