HP all-in-one C6180 with a duplexor fitted that printed double sided under Win XP but not Win 7 32bi

I have an HP all-in-one C6180 with a duplexor fitted.
I could print double sided under Wimdows XP but have now upgraded to Windows 7 32-bit.
I have installed the latest drivers for the C6180 from the HP site.
I cannot print double
sided because in Printer Properties > Device Settings > Installable Options the "Duplex unit for 2-sided printing" option is not available for Install.
Can you please provide a patch or the latest driver with the Install option enabled please.
Regards,
John Seager

You may need to enable the duplexer while logged in as a user with administrative privledges. Alternately go to the Devices and Printers folder, right clisk on the C6180, Printer Properties, Security, and click the settings to allow "Manage this printer" for the user.

All-in-one c6180 Printer ... replacement parts?

Hi!
I have a HP Photosmart All-in-one c6180 printer and it has worked fabulously for me for the past several years! But a few months ago the power adapter cord was caught in the vacuum as I was sweeping and it ripped out the back of the printer breaking the prong things and becoming no good. Does anyone know if HP offers a replacement adapter for this printer and if so, how much might one be? I've looked around on the site and never found what I was looking for, and I've looked around online as well with no better luck. Thanks!

HP's partsurfer site lists the part you need as the 0957-2105. You can order this from HP parts store for $30.69 as shown here. I have had good success buying such items on eBay such as the list here. Be aware that the suppliers that will turn up in a Google search may want more for the power adapter than the entire printer cost new.

Wireless connection drops after bout 5 min - HP all in one C6180

Hi!
I'm having problem with my all in one product - HP all in one C6180. The wireless network connection drops, and the printer becomes unreachable from both web-interface and printjobs/scanningjobs etc...
This problem has existed since I bought this machine..
I've tried several different setups when it comes to WEP/WPA/WPA2 etc..and also different channels on the wireless, but still same problem exist. The printer works perfect for about 5 min, but then drops the connection it seems like. I'm having about 5-6 devices connected to my wireless router (Draytek VGI 2910), and all seems to work perfect together except the C6180.
At this moment I'm running WPA2 for security on my network. I've tested the software both on Win/ Mac, and currently running the Mac-version.
Is there any firmware-update out that could solve my problem, or how else should I manage it to work properly?
Thanks for any help!

There does not appear to be any firmware update on this page. It could be a router issue.
Let's set a static IP address for the printer:
- Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
- Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
- Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
- On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). If you do not know the range, set a high IP address, like .250
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Enter your router's IP (ends with .1) for the gateway and first DNS. Leave the second one blank.
- Click 'Apply'.
Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.

HP Officejet 7410 All-in-One no longer 'automatically' print double sided

After upgrading my PC from Windows XP 32-bit to Windows 7 64-bit my HP Officejet 7410 All-in-One printer no longer prints double-sided automatically. When sending something to print I am presented with only two options: Print One-Sided or Manually Print on Both Sides. If I choose the latter I have to manually reload the paper when prompted. I have tried searching for updates and downloading drivers but nothing has resolved the problem. I've even gone into printer properties printing shortcuts and changed the settings in "Print on Both Sides" to 'automatically' and still I am prompted to reload the paper. It is a real pain when I have to print a very large slide pack especially when the printer decides to pick up two sheets at the same time. I have spoken to HP and they say my printer is old and they cannot help me. It is about 8-10 years old. Any advice would be gratefully received.

Hello Toosweet
In Printer Preferences make sure the duplexer is enabled. Do you have the full feature software installed?

HP 4300 All-in-one not printing double sided

Hello
Here is my setup. I have a HP 4300 All-in-one printer set up on a network. There are two computers on this network, and XP and a vista. The printer is installed on the XP, and the vista accesses the printer via the LAN network (Wired, not wireless).
Here's the problem: When, on the vista computer, I try to manually print on both sides, the only option I get in the "Print on both sides" option in properties is "off." However, on the XP I get the option to do it manually.
Is there anything I can do to enable the "manual" option on the vista?
Thanks.

I'm having the same problem expect with different operating systems and printers. I have a HP Deskjet D1455 that's wired to a laptop with Vista x32. I have another laptop connected to that printer wirelessly that has Windows 7 x64. On the laptop that's connected to the printer, I can print double sided with 4 different options. However, I cannot with my laptop that's connected wirelessly through printer sharing.
At first, it looks like I can do it but once I select "Manual" it disappears and turns off. Any ideas?

You can create an alias @icloud.com email address within your current account that will receive email in your current iCloud inbox (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a). (@me.com addresses are no longer available as new addresses.) Just be aware that you cannot use an alias address later to create a new iCloud account or move it to a different account.
Also, even if you created a new iCloud account with a new ID, your existing purchases would not be lost. They are permanently tied to the original ID you used to purchase them. You can also continue to use the existing ID for the iTunes store; it does not need to be the same as the ID you use for iCloud.

HP Officejet 6700 All in one - no longer able to print double sided automatically

My partner recently installed the updates for our PC. Since then, I have not been given the option of printing double sided automatically. Please help.

Hi @BBPT ,
Thank you for taking the time out of your day to ask that question on the HP Forums today!
You are saying that you are not getting the option to do double sided printing since your partner updated the printer software.
I understand you may be frustrated with this but, there is no way that the option is gone. It has just be relocated in the print prompt that is all. I encourage you to check settings and go through all the options when you choose to print. It is there. If you take screenshots and post them on this thread I will be able to show you were to go.
Let me know how I can help you. Have a great day!

I have a hp photosmart c7280 all in one and i get a message that says "pump motor stalled.

I have an HP photosmart C7280 All in One and I get a message that says pump motor stalled. I have done everything from resetting and turning it off. I have checked to make sure that there is not any paper jam. It makes a clicking sound after it has been reset and then the message "pump motor stalled" pops up. Any suggestions or should I just toss and buy new??? It is only three years old but it is out of warranty.

You might try the suggestions in this post. There is also a post here that reports success.

First, make sure that all your devices are using the same Apple ID in iMessages including your Mac. Second, your messages that you've already started on your devices will not show up on your Mac - only ones that you start from now on will show up. Third, if you're still not syncing accross all devices, make sure you read the directions on the first page of this thread. It should work after performing those steps. Good luck!

Can a PDF be made to by default print with "flip on short edge" set if printed double-sided?

I'm producing a 4-side, 1-sheet PDF booklet download. Our main target audience is professionals (not necessarily tech-profecient) who will download it and print it on regular office printers. Most modern office printers can print double-sided, so we expect people to print it on one sheet, fold it in the middle, and use it like that.
This gives us a problem: the default setting for double-sided printing in Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat appears to be to flip on the long edge. For a folded booklet, this results in the centre pages printing upside down. I, personally, know how to change this setting - but our audience won't, and we've found that even within our own tightly controlled office network, the options for changing this setting are in different places for different people - so giving everyone who downloads it instructions on how to change the setting will be difficult. I'm tech profecient enough to confidently poke around in the various printer settings dialogs until I find it, but most of our audience won't be, and many people will get it wrong even with basic guidance telling them what to look for.
The "Flip on long edge" default appears to be based on the assumption that printed documents are to be held and read portrait, regardless of how they are printed. Is there any way to set a PDF to instruct Adobe Reader etc that this document is to be read landscape (or, folded), so that it can know to flip on the short edge by default for this particular document?
I'm not fussy about what software I use to create or edit the PDF. I'm using InDesign at the moment but will happily use Acrobat, or even hack the code of the PDF with a text editor, if that's what makes it work. I'm asking on the Adobe Reader board since it's not so much a question of how to set this, as whether there is anything in Adobe Reader that is actually capable of interpreting and acting on such information from a PDF.
Another type of answer that could solve my problem is, is there some universal way to set "Flip on short edge" where the steps the user follows are the same regardless of whether they are using Reader or Acrobat, PC or Mac, and regardless of specific printer drivers or printer software?

I have OS X 10.8.5 trying to upgrade. Have downloaded latest OS X Maverick but to install I am prompted for the Admin Password. I don't believe one was ever set up. I have tried my Apple Id Password but not accepted, Advice appreciated.

My system is Mac HD OX S 10.8.5. I want to upgrade 10.9.1 and have downloaded it. However, to install it I am prompted for the Admin Password. I don't believe one was ever set up. I have tried my Apple Id Password but not accepted, Advice appreciated?

If you have 10.8.5 you don't have a PowerPC Mac (PPC). PPC is for pre-2006 Macs. Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac to make sure you have an Intel Mac and that you didn't flip the 5 and 8 in your operating system indication. If you actually have 10.5.8 but you have Intel it gets a lot more complicated to install 10.9.
10.5.8 is the maximum for PowerPC.
10.6 can be upgraded on Intel with this tip:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2455
And it also help you get up to 10.6.6 or 10.6.8 as needed.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6271
will help someone with 10.5.8 determine if they are ready to jump to 10.7 or later.
If you have 10.8.5, you must install 10.9.0 first (free from the Mac App Store) to get to 10.9.1.
Backup your data:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-1992
and check http://www.roaringapps.com/ and your printer, scanner, and peripheral drivers are compatible with third party vendors before upgrading to 10.9.

How to print double sided with macbook pro on Samsung CLX-3180?

Hi,
I recently switched to using a macbook pro but cannot figure out how to print double sided/two-sided.
The printer I am using is Samsung CLX-3180 and it allows double-sided printing. I was able to do this with my windows computer previously.
The frustrating thing is that I see the two-sided feature but I cannot figure out how to turn it on. There is no option to change it.
It is listed here.
First, I go to "show presets."
Then, I click on "copies & pages" but I cannot turn it on.
Does anyone know how to turn it on?
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi nat.the.musical,
If you are having issues selecting two-sided printing from the Print window, you may find the following article helpful (it is aimed at Mountain Lion, but should also apply to Mavericks):
