HP Deskjet 970cxi two sided printing

I've got an HP Deskjet 970cxi printer connected to a print server on my LAN.
I'm able to print to it from Leopard with no problems. Just works with the Leopard "HP Deskjet 970C - Gutenprint v5.1.3 drivers".
However, I can't figure out how to enable the duplex unit in the Leopard drivers.
When I goto the layout settings in the printer driver the "two sided" printing option is grey out.
How can I tell the drivers that I have a duplex unit to enable this option?
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Steve

I have the same printer connected to a D-Link DP-300U print server. I get full access to the printer's settings, including duplex and photo settings, by using the HPIJS driver, which is an open source driver put out by HP. You can find a link to the OS X version of the driver at:

Good luck.

  • Two-sided printing with HP deskjet 1050A?

    Hi,
    How to complete two-sided printing with HP deskjet 1050A? I looked through the properties / options menu at print preview but no options were available for this function.
    Please advise.
    Thanks,
    Patrick

    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 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.

  • Can MacBook with Leopard OS do two-sided printing on the Epson NX515?

    I am looking to buy an all in one printer, and the Epson NX515 seems best in a number of respects, especially the fact that its ink cartridges come in separate colors, which leads to much less waste of ink. But there is one item in the Epson documentation that concerns me ... the fact that two-sided printing may not be supported by Mac. Does anyone know if the Mac Book A1181 with Leopard OS does or does not support two-sided printing?
    Thank you.

    Hi @Blazer5,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I see that you are wondering how to setup two-sided printing with your HP Envy 5532. I am happy to help!
    To setup the duplex printing, I would recommend to go through this guide, Printing on Both Sides of the Paper (Duplex) for HP ENVY 5530 e-All-in-One and Deskjet Ink Advantage..., as it has instructions for both Windows and Mac. Also here are some guidelines for you to follow:
    Understanding the following items can help you avoid possible problems when printing on both sides of the page.
    Do not print on both sides of the following types of paper, or jams might occur:
    Transparencies
    Envelopes
    Photo paper
    Glossy paper
    Paper lighter than 60 g/m2 (16 lb).
    Paper heavier than 105 g/m2 (28 lb).
    Several kinds of paper require a specific orientation when you print on both sides of a page. These include letterheads, preprinted paper, and paper with watermarks and pre-punched holes. The printer prints the first side of the paper first. Load the paper with top edge first and the print side down. 
    Also, this post, Vista / Win 7 Duplex Printing Troubleshooting Guide, by @Bob_Headrick. Might have some answers for you as well.
    In the print dialog box (after selecting File, and Print), you will see a box next to two-sided printing, that can be checked or un-checked, in order to toggle in-between the two functions.
    To change the print quality, you will want to go through this guide, HP ENVY 5530 e-All-in-One series and HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 4510 e-All-in-One series - Print Docum....
    For future reference, here is your printer's user guide.

  • Two-sided printing and booklets (HP D2360)

    I am trying to do two-sided printing and booklets with an HP DeskJet D2360 printer. I installed on my MacBook the software I downloaded from hp.com. The printer was correctly identified even before I installed its driver.
    I am trying to print web pages, ODT documents, and PDFs documents from Preview, either two-sided or as booklets. The booklet printing option appears nowhere, while the two-sided printing option is grayed-out. Both options show up and work properly under Windows XP.

    1. If the form is a oure XFA form then you can control the duplex printing settings in the Master Pages. You may need to define a second Master page that has the duplex printing on for the appropriate pages.
    2. Yes having a checkbox indicate a value in another field is possible but you will need script to do it. On the chanege event of the checkbox you want checked you can add code like this:
    if (this.rawValue == 1){
         numericFieldName.rawValue = 100.00
    } else {
         numericFieldName.rawValue = 0.00;

  • HP Photosmart 2610 All-in-One, Manual Two-Sided Printing, HP e-mail support Ticket no: 8028153835

    HP e-mail support, Ticket no: 8028153835 
    I purchased my HP Photosmart 2610 all-in-one printer in 2005. It was previously installed on a HP Laptop, Windows XP, and all the features worked.
    It is now on a PC running Windows Vista Ultimate 32. When I tried installing the printer software CD, it wouldn't load because of the Vista OS. I then loaded the HP Photosmart 2600 series full feature printer driver (Vista OS compatible) from the following HP website link:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-47754-1&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&...
    Now I cannot get the Printing Preferences to allow Manually Duplexing (two-sided) printing. This option was available on the original printer software.
    I've tried the solutions on: HP Image Zone Help / Two-Sided Prints which indicate:  Click the Finishing tab / In the Document options area / select the Print on both sides check box (this box is not available).
    When I run the printer from the Control Panel as Administrator, the printer Properties / Device Settings show Manual Duplexing: Enabled.  When I go to the printer Properties / Advanced / Printing Defaults, neither the Finishing / Print On Both Sides check box is available nor will the Printing Shortcuts tabs allow the Print On Both Sides option to appear (only shows Print On Both Sides: Off).
    HP e-mail support told me to install this patch to correct the problem:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/genericSoftwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-69848-1&cc=us&lc=en&...
    When I try installing the patch, it won't load because it wants the original CD software. So I'm back to my initial problem of trying to load the original printer software that won't load because the CD is for Windows XP OS. I am at an impasse between the Software CD that I have, and what is available on the HP website.
    What is your solution?

    Also, if it were, do you download the driver?
    The driver is supplied through Windows Update.  Go to the Devices and Printers folder, Add a Printer, then select Windows Update.  It will take a few minutes to update the list, then the Deskjet 6500 series will be a choice under HP (not Hewlett-Packard).

  • HP Deskjet 6988 double sided printing problem

    I'm new to Snow Leopard running 10.6.2. I installed HP update 2.5.2. In the past I usually left the option set to print double sided and the driver figured out what to do with a single page item. Now, with a single page, it prints it, waits for the ink to dry and then prints blank on the other side. Even worse, I asked for 10 copies of a single page and got 10 copies - one on each side of 5 pages. It's not a problem if I know how much paper a document requires but a pain when printing something off the web or an email where I don't know how long it will be.
    Should I install the driver from HP?

    I just purchased a duplexer for an HP Deskjet 6988.
    It works fine on my Macs running 10.5.X but doesn't work on my Macbook Air running 10.6.6. I'm able to select two sided printing from several applications, Apple and non Apple applications on the 10.5.X machines. The Air, it doesn't even recognize that it can print two sided.
    I've called Apple, they told me they don't have anything to do with the printer software even after I explained that I can print on older software and not on the latest machine. They directed me to HP. I called HP and they said they don't have drivers for 10.6 for this printer and told me to download the 10.5 software after resetting the printer. None of this worked. Turning the printer off, then deleting the printer software, adding it, restarting the computer ... all failed.
    $1800 computer that can't print two sided. Go figure.
    If anyone has a solid solution short of replacing a three year old, light used printer, I'm all ears.
    Thanks

  • HP 6500 two-sided printing

    I need advice on getting the two-sided printing option to show up when I select print on my HP 6500 Officejet. Thanks.

    Well, there are basically three options. HP have a driver for 10.5 and earlier which very likely won't work because of the changes in SL. Gutenberg 5.3.2 will probably drive the printer but not provide duplex printing (this was my experience with a Deskjet for which there is now no HP driver - and the colour handling was less than perfect). The remaining option is the HP driver which is alleged to work with SL. If none of these work I don't know what else can be done except to try a third-party scanner driver such as VueScan.

  • 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 option causes crash

    Hi all,
    I searched a thousand times, but to no avail.
    We have an HP printer, the DJ 6127 (DJ as in Deskjet ), and for a few years we've had nothing but trouble with it when printing from our Macs. I'll skip the details, but now, I've got all Macs able to print on it even through wireless. Phew.
    Except that when you print and click on the "two-sided printing" option, whatever the application, it crashes.
    A few months ago, it somehow worked on MS Word .doc documents, but crashed Preview and Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Pro for .pdf…
    Now, even MS Word crashes.
    Between now and then, we'd installed a new router (a D-Link), which caused serious trouble (took me ages to finally find a way to make the whole thing work).
    Is this a driver problem? Because if it is, then the latest drivers by HP seem to be completely broken…
    Thanks for reading,
    Peter Craddock

    Hello Peter,
    The Layout > Two Sided Printing is part of the OS X print system, it is not vendor provided. So I don't think HP has a problem with their drivers. You have a problem that exists deep in your Mac.
    The first thing I would do is download and run the 10.4.8 Combo Updater. If you kept your Mac updated by using the provided Software Update then the Combo updater may help to resolve a number of things. Once this is completed I would run the Repair Disk Permissions. This can also help to resolve printing issues.
    Regards,
    Paul

  • The print menu on my MacBook Air won't allow me to select two sided printing, how do I do this?

    Hi Community,
    I recently purchased a MacBook Air (my very first Mac) and I cannot access all of the printing options when I print.  I am able to print and the printer driver was downloaded, but my options are limited.  I cannot enable two sided printing, which is something I was able to do with my current printer via my old laptop.  I am in grad school and have a lot of journal articles to print and read that are 60-70 pages each.  I'd much rather print these two sided to save paper.  I have the latest version of OS X (version 10.8.5) and my printer is an HP Laser Jet P2035n. 
    Can anyone help me fix this issue so I don't have to use my old laptop to print?
    Thanks,
    Melissa

  • HP LaserJet P1005 Two-sided printing not working on network

    Good day!
    I have a desktop, with Windowx XP, to which my LaserJet P1005 is connected via USB. My wife has a laptop, with the same Windows XP, from which she can print, but the two-sided option does not work right. She can check it and print, but the window to restart printing for the second side does not open and there is nothing we can do at this point.
    I have trie duninstalling the printer from both computers and reinstalling the newest drivers, it still won't work.
    Thanks for your help!

    I have an HP PhotoSmart 2575 All-in-One with the latest HP driver that displays the two-sided printing option greyed-out in the Layout window. According to HP, your printer must be capable of accepting an optional two-sided printer tray to work on a Mac. To me that is ludicrous since in Windows the driver supports manual two-sided printing.
    To get around this, I select the Paper Handling window and from the Pages to Print drop-down list select Odd only instead of the default All Pages. After clicking the print button the odd pages print starting with the last page and ending with the first. I then remove all paper and reinsert the printed pages with the top of the page facing the printer. First, though, I reorder the pages with the first page on the bottom and the last page on top. If the total number of pages is an odd number, I remove the last page from the inserted stack, as that is the very last printed page. I then select Even only from the Pages to Print drop-down list and click print again.
    Problem solved.

  • OfficeJet Pro L7590 and two-sided printing

    Anyone been able to implement 2 sided printing with this printer. Seems like HP driver is broken, even though print setup allows one to check two-sided printing.

    This may help in regards to this two sided issue. I did have some orientation problems on landscape mode but was able to print two sided. After hours of working between HP and Apple etc. I in theory figured out something that proved to work. HP's web driver page warns of not trying to use 10.5 drivers and programs on Snow Leopard. My theory was that in the upgrade process to 10.6 could there be some problems in the process of changing out the drivers and programs, (some programs are even said not to work at all by HP in S.L.). So I did a complete uninstall of all HP printer programs, software and drivers and then reinstalled the printer fresh in Snow Leopard. Wonder of wonders now the two sided printing works properly and the needed adjustments are all back. In a few different places but they are there and they do work. So maybe the problem exists in the upgrade process? I did not have the problems at all in 10.5 but after the upgrade everything changed. Now that it is more like a fresh install in SL all seem to work. The only thing I have not done yet is use the scanner process which HP admits is very different but they do give instructions about it on the driver download page. Hope this helps someone else.

  • Problem with HP 1220c USB printer - two-sided print greyed-out

    My client has a Powerbook G4 550MHz with Tiger 10.4 installed and I installed the latest HP 1220c driver.
    When my client attempted to configure the printer via the printer setup page under 'layout' the two-sided print is greyed-out. Why?
    My client has admin rights.

    The layout of the print window is not the same as OS 9.x and prior. There will not be a choice for double sided printing as there was pre OS X unless the printer comes with an automatic duplexer.
    You will have to figure out how to print odds and evens in separate jobs and do it manually.
