HP ColorLaserjet 2600n-Two-sided printing with Snow Leopard

Hi,
I have a question relating to double-sided printing. I have a HP Color LaserJet 2600n. Two-sided printing worked fine for me with Leopard. Since I updated to Snow Leopard (now I have version 10.6.4) the two-sided printing options in the printing dialogue are disabled (greyed out). I use the printerdriver 1.3.0.261 How to enable this option again? Software update does not have any new software for my printer.
Thanks!

I have this printer and the same problem. This printer does not have a hardware duplex unit, the duplex is entirely manual.
In the old driver settings, you could check off the "Two sided" checkbox (beside the Collate checkbox), and the unit will basically print off the odd pages, then after that it will pause until you take the printed pages and put it back in the tray, then press the Go button to initiate the print for the other side.
There is no settings (besides Tray 3) in Options and Supplies.

  • Two sided printing with wordperfect HP Photosmart 6515

    Any ideas how to set up two sided printing with wordperfect documents using  HP Photosmart 6515

    Hello,
    You should be able to print on two sides using this method for your product:
    NOTE:You can print your document on both sides of the paper, instead of just one side. Click on the Advanced button on the Paper/Quality or Layout tab. From the Pages to Print drop-down menu select Print Odd Pages Only . Click OK to print. After the odd numbered pages of the document have been printed, remove the document from the output tray. Reload the paper in the input tray with the blank side facing up. Return to the Pages to Print drop-down menu and then select Print Even Pages Only . Click OK to print.

  • Two-sided printing with HP C7280 all-in-one?

    Howdy all!
    I just bought an HP Photosmart C7280 all-in-one. While ordinary printing works fine, I see no way to do two-sided printing with the current driver. (The accessory is already installed by default.)
    Has anyone managed to get this to work?
    Thanks!

    Hi Randy,
    Yes the upside down issue was fixed for me, but only when I manually downloaded and installed the latest HP print drivers from Apple support directly. Apparently the automatic update doesn't recognize the network printer, so it won't download the drivers. I can't remember the exact driver I downloaded and installed, but it was the latest that included the All In One 7200 series. This is the latest I could find, and I believe it was what I downloaded

    I hope this helps you!

  • I have a MacBook Pro 15" and my warranty just ran out! I partitioned my harddrive into two partitions, one with Snow Leopard and the other with microsoft.This morning I turned on my Macbook Pro and it will not boot into Snow Leopard.

    Good Morning,
    I have a MacBook Pro 15" and my warranty just ran out! I partitioned my harddrive into two partitions, one with Snow Leopard and the other with microsoft.This morning I turned on my Macbook Pro and it will not boot into Snow Leopard. I shut it off took out the battery, reinstalled the battery. Then I put in the Snow Leopard CD and booted up to disk utility and The Snow Leopard partion would not show up?? I do see the microsoft partion.
    I also rebooted holding down the shift key and still no Snow Leopard
    Could you please tell me what I can do, what keys do I press on restart any advice to get Snow leopard back.
    thank you.

    Have you restarted holding down the Opt key?  That procedure should give you a gray screen with all of the partitions that exist.  Then select the SL partition for boot.  Also go to System Preferences and Startup Disk, unlock the lock and select the SL partition as the default boot partition, then relock.

  • Why won't Lexmark T430 printer with Snow Leopard?

    Lexmark T430 will not printer with Snow Leopard. Error Message: “The printer software was installed incorrectly. Please reinstall the printer’s software or contact the manufacturer for assistance.”
    The printer is connected via Ethernet from an iMac; I have an airport wireless network. Oddly, I can print wirelessly from my MacBook Pro, but not from my desktop iMac. Both computers were upgraded to Snow Leopard at the same time, but only the iMac refuses to print.
    Tried:
    -Reset printing system
    -Downloaded Lexmark drivers and reinstalled them
    -Connected printer directly to iMac instead of through the Ethernet switch
    -Repaired disk permissions
    When ‘adding printer’ the Lexmark is recognized and configured, but it only results in the same tired error message.
    Suggestions will be appreciated.

    Hi,
    A follow up on my previous report.
    I installed 10.6 on an external USB drive and booted my iMac from there. Result: was able to print successfully to the T430, both via Ethernet and via USB cables. Previously, I also tried to print from the iMac (booted from the internal drive) via USB and that failed; although, as I said, I was able to print to a Canon printer. I conclude that there must be some conflict between the Lexmark drivers and something on my internal iMac hard drive.

  • Two-sided printing with Epson Workforce 630

    I bought a new iMac a few months ago and got the Epson WorkForce 630 printer at the same time. However, I can't figure out how to do duplex (two-sided) printing. I've searched around, and it looks like this feature may not be supported for the Mac. Now, why would Apple sell a printer through their website that doesn't support Mac? This seems like a basic feature that all printers should have.
    Does anyone know a work-around? The "two-sided" selection is grayed out for me.
    Thanks!

    Thanks! Unfortunately, on the Epson site, it says, "
    Q:
    Is manual duplex (double-sided) printing supported in Mac OS X with my product?
    A:
    No. This feature is supported in Windows only."
    I really don't know why Apple would sell a printer through their stores that doesn't support all features in their OS. I might end up going back to my older printer.

  • Two-sided printing with HP Officejet 6310

    When I go to layout the two-sided printing option is off. I'm not able to click on it and turn it on for some reason. How can I fix that?
    I have printed things double sided before with this printer. It's only with this computer that I haven't been able to.

    two sided printing isn't a feature belonging to Pages so there is no reason to describe it in Pages User Guide.
    If it's described somewhere, it's in the System's Help.

  • Two-sided printing with HP 940

    I've got a HP Deskjet 940 WITH the duplexer but I cannot for the life of me see where / how I can enable and access two-sided printing in OS X (had NO problem doing this when it was with my PC).
    Suggestions?

    First, you need to have a printer driver that enable two-sided printing. I don't know HP 940, but with my HP (J6480) it came with the printer.
    In the print dialog box, you need to press the arrow next to the printer name to see all options. Once you see all options there will be a menu on the right side where you can choose options for the printer. If the printer driver supports duplexing, one of them should be two sided printing. Depending on your printer, it could be different places in that menu. It might also depend on the program you're printing from. Try from preview, it should be there (if you use cmd-P to print). If you don't see the option, it might be a printer driver problem.

  • Two-sided printing with HP Deskjet 960c

    My printer used to print two-sided just fine.  I had a jam and cleared it.  Now the software doesn't offer me the two-sided option any more. I reloaded the drivers, made sure two-sided printed was enabled under my printer settings, but still no luck.  Any suggestions?

    Try enabling the duplexer in device settings as discussed here.  If that does not solve the issue please indicate what operating system you have and what driver.

  • Two sided prints with /right/ side up

    hi all,
    is there an easy way to print TWO SIDED prints so that the back side is oriented in the same direction as the front side? right now if i click on the two sided print box it prints so that i have to flip the page over from top or bottom (don't want) as opposed to left or right (should be the default IMHO).
    any ideas on where i find this or how i set it? i am printing out of Numbers but i assume this applies mac software wide or something along those lines.
    didn't find any threads on this that were current.
    TIA

    Hi,
    From the application used to print open the printer dialog, then click on ettings or Preferences to access to Printig Preferences dialog.
    Within the Layout tab change the Print on both sides option.
    For a portrait oriented document select Flip on Long Edge, for a Landscape one select Flip on Short Edge, then it will print as expected.

  • HP Laserjet 4mp won't print with Snow Leopard

    My great Laserjet 4mp prints just fine with OS 10.5.8 but not with Snow Leopard (10.6.2) on my new iMac. Have spent three plus hours with senior level Mac Techs to no avail. The printer screen shows the correct printer and driver and indicating valid connection, but when attempting to print I get the message "Unable to print, try again in 30 secs". Since 10.6 doesn't have Appletalk, am unable to use it; techs have tried to use the 4mp driver supplied with Snow Leopard and also downloaded it separately from the web site. We (they) have also tried using all methods (IP, Daemon, and HP Jet Direct using Ethernet and Serial to USB connections). Techs have talked with HP techs and have no other solutions. The security system is off. Any suggestions are welcome! Thanks!

    I've read the threads and don't understand some, but I think we (the Apple support techs and I) have tried the ones I recognize. One new idea--in a reply to a similar post someone mentioned being sure to use additional data when using the IP address-- submask address or some such, I
    haven't been told to do this--should I? (I can get it from the printer readout if told what to get.) Also, in another post someone suggested deleting the OS 10.5.8 driver that was transferred when all the data from my old iMac G5 was moved over, saying that it would interfere. If true, how do I do that?
    What I really need is a stepwise instruction on which connection to use (Ethernet, Serial to USB, or parallel port are the only options); which protocol to use (IPP, Line Printer Daemon, or HP Jet Direct socket, whatever they are); what to put in the Address line (the IP address is the one used by Apple techs); what to put in the Queue line (techs said to leave it blank); what to put in Name and Location blocks, if anything; and what to put in the Print Using line (techs have unsuccessfully tried Autoselect, Generic, and the HP4mp driver selected both from the Select Printer Driver option and from the driver downloaded directly from the HP web site).
    I'd be grateful for this help or even advice on where I can get it! (With this new computer I still have free telelphonic Apple tech support but they've given up.) Thanks!

  • Epson C88 Won't Print with Snow Leopard

    C88 won't print using Snow Leopard. Downloaded driver from Epson doesn't help.????

    Like you, I'm working with an Epson C-88+. Happy with this situation, would not be exactly accurate. I have tried some different approaches, including the ones from John and Kappy. They would work just fine for about 3 days, then fail. I even went back to the Snow Leopard Install DVD/ Optional Installs/ Options.MPKG/ Printer Support and made a choice. I then went to Disk First Aid and everything was fine. Today, I went to print 1 envelope, total dismal failure. I then downloaded the EPSON Printer Drivers 2.1, I proceeded to install the drivers. Did anybody notice, this was an Apple License, not an EPSON License? Therefore, there are no assurances, that these print drivers are in fact, EPSON. Therefore, AppleCare should be required to support these Print Drivers as Apple Licensed Products. But equally so, we as 'dumb endusers' must try to work with AppleCare to solve this issue. To "pete.purvis" John and Kappy, sorry, you guys have proven yourselves to be out of the "dumb endusers group, I just want to say, THANK YOU!

  • SUCCESS - now installed Oki c9800 printer with Snow Leopard  - solution

    I had tried over and over with uninstall and reinstall to make my Oki c9800 printer work to no avail. After reading another post I tried the same suggestion but changing the name for my own printer and it works with Snow Leopard. (The original post of this solution is at
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2141179&tstart=0 - Matt's answer)
    SOLUTION:
    The Oki installer has set permissions incorrectly.
    Open the Terminal application (/Applications/Utilities).
    Copy and paste the following command into a Terminal window:
    sudo chown -R root:admin /Library/Printers/Oki/
    Then hit the Return or Enter key. Enter your administrator's password at the prompt.
    NOTE: Make sure the printer name, in my case 'Oki', is exactly the same spelling and case. When I put in OKI it didn't work. I had to put in 'Oki' as in my Printers folder.

    *My Solutions*
    I used a tiger or leopard box and shared the printer through it. no driver required on SL end.
