Hp laserjet 3055 will not print double sided

Okay, it worked before, but the scanner scanner software always crashed when I used it. So I thought I would reinstall the printer driver and see if that would let me scan. Well, the scanner software still crashes, but even worse there is no longer a double-sided (duplex) option available in the printer dialog. I have searched the support site and the internet but cannot find an answer.
I no longer care about scanning, but I would like double-sided printing back.

Woke up this morning and knew the answer. I had lost my presets for the printer when I had reinstalled the printer drivers. That was simple. I also installed manually HPPrinterDrivers2.14.dmg from the Apple support website and now scanning 'appears' to be working. I saw some info yesterday saying that this does not download through Software Update if you already have HP drivers installed.
Strange, but now things seem to be working better than before.

OfficeJet 4500 will not print two sided over network

I'm running on Windows 7 with an OfficeJet 4500 G510n-z over WiFi. Printer works great except that it will not print two sided. We've used a non-WiFi 4500 to print two sided before. With the new printer the first pages print and the pop-up shows on the laptop (prompt to flip paper over) but nothing happens. The second pages never print.
I've run all of the HP print and network diagnostics. Everything appears to be OK.

The solution below was found on the sticky post at the top of this board "Fixes and Workarounds from HP"
I think the patch below only applies if you have the original printer software installed, I assume this issue was fixed in later versions of the printer software, Read the patch information carefully.

HP Laserjet 4100 will not print in Snow Leopard

Since I’ve installed Snow Leopard, I have not been able to print with my HP Laserjet 4100.
My set-up: new 24” iMac, many hard drives and more. Two devices: HP Color Laserjet 5550 and HP Officejet J5750 are connected to the iMac through a USB Hub. Although initially scanning did not work with the J5750, I was able to make that work once additional drivers were downloaded from HP. Both work fine.
I also have an older HP Laserjet 4100 which has been my steady workhorse for years. It only has Ethernet and serial port outlets. It is connected to an AT&T 2-Wired Ethernet Hub/DSL Modem (model 2701HG-B) that is connected to the iMac.
I’ve contacted HP and Apple about this problem. None of the three people I worked with at Apple could help and the HP representative was unsure if they could help but that it would cost me $40 to find out. According to HP website, since Apple Talk no longer exists, we are required to input the IP for the device. For the 4100, the IP address is 10.0.1.100. I tried this two ways: in the “Add Printer” window under “IP,” inputted as the IPP, and inputted as the HP Jetdirect Socket (as per the HP instructions). When this is done, the printer shows up when you give a print command. However, it does not show up in the “Add Printer” window under “default” or anywhere else.
Status: If I connect the 4100 Ethernet cable directly to the back of the iMac, the “Supply” level indicates the true level of toner in the 4100. However, it will not print. If I connect the 4100 Ethernet cable to the Ethernet hub, the supply level does not show nor can I print.
Any suggestions?

Well, another week has gone by without a solution.
Again, here is the problem:
I have a 24" iMac connected to a USB hub and an AT&T 2-Wire DSL/ethernet hub. When I upgraded to Snow Leopard 10.6.1 and now the update 10.6.2, the two printers on the USB hub work fine but the HP Laserjet 4100dtn does not print. This old printer has only ethernet or serial ports. I've downloaded and installed the HP driver updates from Apple and HP to no avail. According to HP, I must add the 4100 manually using its IP. I've followed the instructions while adding a printer to select IP- HP Jetdirect - Socket. The address of the printer is 10.0.1.100. When I type this in, the window says that this is a valid and complete address. It searches and then says the "Print Using:" is a Generic PostScript Printer. The driver for this printer, I believe, should be "HP LaserJet 4100 Series v.3010.107" Regardless, when I click Add the window "Determining Installable Options" shows "Status: Connecting to printer..." It never establishes a connection.
The 2-Wire DSL/Ethernet Hub/Modem, has an IP of 192.1687.1.66, Submask 255.255.255.0 and Router (DNS) 192.168.1.254.
If I plug the ethernet cable directly from the printer to the iMac, the supply level shows correctly but will not print. If I plug the ethernet cable from the printer to the 2-Wire and then to the iMac, it neither shows supply level nor prints.
Any suggestion as to how to fix this problem? (I've been on the phone with 3 different Apple respresentatives and 1 HP representative with no success.)

LaserJet 5000 will not print more than one copy at a time.

We have recently moved our office. A LaserJet 5000 which is used as an office printer is shared through one of the computers on the network in the exact same way it was more we moved. But since the move it will not print multiple copies of the same document no matter how many copies the software tells the printer to print it will only print one copy then it stops. Before the moved it worked fine. If the software program such as Word told it to print 100 copies it printed 100 copies now one is the limit. So if you want to printmore than one you have to hit print that many times. It has 172 MB RAM. Does anyone have any ideas of what might have happened????

I have the same issue with a photosmart 2410xi. Did you ever get yours figured out?

My HP Laserjet 1020 will not print from Internet Explorer 9

I just get an error message saying that "an error occurred on the script on this page." The printer works fine with other software.

HP laserjet 1536dnf will not print pdf's

My laser jet 1536dnf will not print pdfs. Prints everything else. I have adobe acrobat 9. I have unistalled the driver/software for the printer and reinstalled. Still not fixed. When I pull up the pdf and select print, then hit ok, nothing happens. However, I can print pdfs to the other printer connected to my computer. This logically brings the conclusion that the issue is with the laser jet driver. Does anyone have a clue as to how to fix this?

Hi , I see that you are having issues printing PDF documents, just from the Laserjet M1536dnf printer. I will certainly do my best to help you. Try printing a page from the printer's User Guide, to see if you have the same results. LASERJET PRO M1530.Let me know the results. Print the PDF as an image: Open the original PDF file, if necessary.Click File, and then click Print, or click the Print icon. The Print window opens.Click Advanced. The Advanced Print Setup window opens.Select the Print As Image checkbox, change any other settings as desired, and then click OK.On the Print window, click OK again to begin printing.Run the Adobe updates. Product updates. If you appreciate my efforts, please click the 'Thumbs up' button below. If there is anything else I can help you with, just let me know. Thank You.

HP Laserjet 1320 will not print ?selected pages

I have the HP Laserjet 1320 and when in a Word document and I want to print a selected page (i.e. page 2 of 4 only), under Pages on the Print Menu, I enter 2 or 2-2 and select print and it will not print! I can scroll down to place the pointer on page and tell it to print "current page" and it will print - why will it not print when I enter the page number I want to print.
Thanks

My printer would not print multiple copies. It would only print one page at a time.

HP LaserJet 4250 will not print

I have an HP Laserjet 4250 that will not print from any of the 15 stations it is set up to. I send print jobs to it, and I have to power the cycle the printer in order for it to print. I have deleted and re-added the printer to the workstations, and still get the same issue. The IP address is correct the IP port is good, I have reset factory settings as well. Still will not print more than 2 jobs without it having to be turned off/on. Any suggestions???

HP color laserjet CP2025 will not print. Help.

I have a HP color laserjet CP2025, but it will not print. I installed the driver HP Color LaserJet CP2020 Series PCL 6. I have a Windows Vista Home Premium. There is a message to replace the cyan cartridge, but I assume if the printer has black ink, then it'll print in black and white. Do I need to replace the cyan cartiridge for it to print? What other options can I try to troubleshoot?
Thank you.

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?

LaserJet 4600 will not print black

My LaserJet 4600 has only 12-13,000 pages on it and will not print black ink. Magenta, cyan, and yellow print fine. The black cartridge works in my other 4600, and I've also tried the magenta in the black slot-- it will not print in that slot either...... Appears to me to be a hardware issue..... Any suggestions as to what the problem is, and is it something that I can fix? Or is it a job for a repair shop?........... Another aspect is-- is it cost prohibitive to fix?.. Thanks......................

Good day,
To get your issue more exposure, I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since your product is a commercial product. You can do this at Commercial Forums.

HP Deskjet 2540 Not Printing Double Sided Correctly

I'm hoping someone can help me!
I just bought a brand new HP Deskjet 2540 as my old HP Printer got thrown in the trash for blinking it's lights at me too much....
So this new one has been working fine for normal printing, but when I try to print double sided, I follow the instructions and manually move the pages back in the tray as indicated, but it keeps skipping a page. So it prints the first side of the first page great, then it leaves the 2nd side of the first page blank, and then the rest of the pages are perfect (printed on both sides in the right order). This has happened exactly the same numerous times now.
Please help!

Hi @katie20 , welcome to the community
I read about the printing double sided troubles you are having with your Deskjet 2540 on Windows 7. To me, it seems like there could be a driver problem or a software problem with the program you're printing from. Here are some steps for you to do to get started.
1. Run the Print and Scan Doctor. This diagnostic tool will check for any conflicts that could be causing the issue. The tool will show you a report at the end. Please send me a screen shot of the results or write me back with the details.
2. Print double sided pages from a different program, let me know the outcome and which programs you have tested.
Also let me know how you have the printer connected (USB, Wireless, Ethernet)
Thank you

HP LaserJet 3055 Will Not Duplex

I am using an HP LaserJet 3055 AIO, printing wirelessly, and therefore (after the update of a few weeks ago), using both the HP driver (installed by CD) somewhere behind the scenes, but showing use of the Generic PostScript Printer 1.3. The Generic PS driver has the Duplex box checked, but I still cannot duplex print from any application with any configuration of printing instructions. Any ideas or suggestions?
(At least after the latest update, I can now print envelopes!)

I called HP. It is a known problem but there is no fix now. Apparently it works for some people and you might try manually deleting the files the driver uses, reinstalling the base leopard hp drivers, and then reinstalling the new driver from the hp web site. I haven't tried it, but it doesn't seem like it would do much. I guess I'll try it though.
They haven't updated the drivers or firmware in a while, so I'm not sure when they will try to fix this.

Laserjet m1217 will not print through easyprint on windows 2008 server 64Bit

We have a client that has the LaserJet M1217 that is connecting to our Window 2008 Server SP2 64Bit via Remote Desktop. Easyprint recognizes the printer, but will not even print a test page. We get a FAIL message. We either need to know how to print through easyprint, or if there is a driver that can be installed remotely.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I would contact Microsoft about this. Since Easy Print is one of their features, they should know what is causing the error in the first place. Let me know what they say.
