HP officejet 4630 won't print on both sides of paper

Cannot print on both sides of paper. The backsideprints first, then wait for ink to dry, front side starts to print then stops with a windows error message popping up on screen saying cannot print document.
I have found that I cannot print multiple pages either. For example, I decided to print the 4 page document as single pages only (since double sided wouldn't work) and the results were first page prints second page prints about a third and then all stop with error message that printer cannot print the pdf document. so I had to select each page seperately to finnally get all four pages printed. HP print and scan diagnostics says theres is no problem. Windows diagnostics says there is no problem.
Obviously there is a problem can any one offer advice and solution?
Thanks

Hello Kimoho,
Could you please check to Duplexer unit seem installed on printer properties and in the printing preferences section is it selected to print on both side.
If its not seem installed, adjust to it installed and try again.

  • How do I print to both sides of paper for greeting card on Brother Printer

    I did not find the answer on the forum. I have iLife 09 and this Brother MFC-790CW printer. I do not see any automatic setting for printing on both sides. I am using a iPhoto greeting card template and it looks OK with a page one for the front and a page two for the back.
    Maybe the only way is to print out all the fronts pages (20) and then put the paper back in and print all the pages 2 (the text inside of the card). That seems like it would be faster than other ways, except automatic.
    Obviously I should have done this a month ago and sent the project to Apple, but now I have no more time. Ii have the right paper for the one fold cards and plenty of ink

    You need to have an image editor that supports layers. If you do follow the directions in these tutorials:
    #8 - Printing a iPhoto Greeting Card
    #8a - Printing a iPhoto Greeting Card to Standard Stock Sizes
    Here are some editors that support layers:
    Some Image Editors that support layers:
    Photoshop Elements 8 for Mac - $79
    GraphicConverter - $45
    Rainbow Painter - $30
    Acorn - $50
    Pixelmator - $60
    Seashore - Free

    You might be able to use Pages instead of an image editor.

  • How to print on both sides of paper

    I have HP 3050A wireless printer. How to print on both sides of paper

    This printer does not do auto duplexing. The only way to print on both sides of the page is to print one side, put the paper back in manually, and then print the next page. If you have something say 10 pages long, you can also print only odd pages, then only even pages tospeed it up.

  • 'Print on both sides of paper' in Adobe Reader 10.1.2 + DFS shares....

    Hello
    After the latest update a new print dialog is available which includes the option to 'Print on both sides of the paper'. Our printer (available via a print server in a Windows domain environment), is capable of printing duplexed copies of documents but is configured to default to not use duplex. When the option to do this from the Adobe Reader print dialog is selected the printer driver overides it and the document is printed normally (not duplexed).
    Is there a way to hide this option? We often need to print duplexed copies of documents but usually set it in the print driver when it is needed. Because the option is being overidden it has the potential to create an enormous amount of wasted paper and toner and will increase our printing costs.
    Also, when V10 was released, trying to open pdf's located in DFS share paths caused the program to hang. The solution was to disable protected mode. I tried enabling protected mode after this update (and previous updates), and restarted the application but instead of hanging, Adobe Reader now displays a message box stating:
    There was an error opening this document. Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service.
    If I disable protected mode and restart Adobe Reader the document can be opened.
    Any help appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hi, Shatik
    Thanks for replying.
    The DFS shares are mapped as a network drive. This is done just once using a batch file that uses the persistent switch. No roaming profiles, no username\application data path.
    Since posting this I can now access PDF's, but many of our staff are now unable to scroll through an entire pdf without Adobe Reader hanging. Again, removing the checkmark in the protected mode option allows full scrolling of a pdf.
    Disabling/enabling antivirus real-time scanning makes no difference.

  • Officejet 4630 won't print any files

    officejet 4630 has been installed correctly and is able to print test pages and also scan documents correctly. When I try to print a word file, pdf or anything else an error message keeps coming up in the printing status and won't allow me to print anything. I was having issues with previous printers not allowing me to print correctly either but i'm not sure whats wrong!
    please help!

    Hello @jackbheth ,
    Welcome to the HP forum.
    I understand that you are experiencing a problem when printing certain types of documents.
    I would like to help you with this.
    To check on the HP software, try running the Print and Scan Doctor.
    In case it is a Windows problem, try the  Microsoft Fix it Solution Center.
    Hopefully these tools will fix the issue.
    If they do not, please let me know.

  • HP Officejet 4630 won't print at all

    Today my brand new HP Officejet 4630 just decided to call it quits on me. After printing about 5 pages without any hassle, when I went to print a document, it simply would not print. What has happened is that the printer itself will say "now printing..." with the loading bar but nothing will actually print. When I check on my Macbook Pro about the status of my printing documents, it will say "Printing, Starting on Page XX" with the loading bar a quarter full.  I checked the printer for any paper clogs or anything but I have yet to find any such issue within the computer. The printer has brand new ink, it is loaded with paper (but not too much), and has never had any issues until now. Unless if I manually cancel the printing job, it will presumably keep saying "Now printing..." without anything happening.  I've tried to actually print a document from the "samples" provided from the HP Officejet 4630, like a crossword puzzle, and even that would not print, and would just say "Now printing..". I have no idea what to do nor do I know what is wrong with it. I haven't seen any error codes or notifications yet, and the printer is literally not even a couple of months old with very minimal usage.  Any help on this will be greatly appreciated!

    Hello , Welcome to the HP Community, I hope you have a pleasant experience with us. I'd like to help you with the freezing that you are experiencing on your HP Officejet 4630 e-All-in-One printer. This may sound a little ridiculous, but do you have the printer plugged directly into a wall outlet? The reason I suggest doing this, is because the printer has a power moderator built in. It possible that if it is plugged into a secondary power-moderating device (such as a power surge bar, or battery backup), that it is unable to pull enough power to print, and that may be why it is getting stuck. If that doesn't immediately resolve the issue, I'd recommend downloading and running the most recent firmware update for your printer here - HP Officejet 4630 e-All-in-One Printer series Firmware Update I'm also curious if you're able to make a copy on the printer itself? The hang up with the apps could possibly be a network connection issue (as could the wireless printing on the mac), so it's possible that it's not a hardware issue at all. I'd appreciate it if you could try this and let me know the result. I look forward to hearing back from you and working toward a resolution for this issue.Have a fantastic weekend!

  • Copy problem with HP Officejet Pro 8600-always copys on both sides of paper

    When I want to make a copy of a document, i.e., insert the document on the glass surface under the printer cover, I touch the copy function on the printer and the printer always makes a copy of the document on both sides of the paper.  I do not know how to change the printer setting(s) in order to have a one sided copy feature.

    Hi,
    From the printer front panel click on Copy.
    Click the Two Sided button and select "1 sided original - 1 sided copy".
    Next click the Settings button, select Set as New Defaults and confirm, now 1 sided copy will default for any copy job.

  • Officejet 4630 won't print multiple page document

    Installation was a piece of cake - but I've found that when I try to print more than 2 pages, I receive a printing error. There's no explanation as to what the error might be. I've run the HP doctor and it said that errors were fixed. When I tried to print again, I received the same error. This is very frustrating. Please help. This is a brand new printer.

    Hi   Although I am not sure what the error is, or what is causing it, I have a few things we can do to try to resolve the issue.  First I suggest using the following steps to delete the printer from device and printers, and the driver from the server properties. 1. In the ‘Devices and Printers’ folder2. Choose ‘Print server properties’.Win XP – With no printer selected, click ‘File’ then ‘Server Properties’.Windows Vista – With no printer selected, press ‘Alt’ then click ‘File’ then ‘Server Properties’.Windows 7/8 and 8.1 – Select any printer in the ‘Devices and Printers’ folder and click ‘Print Server properties’ above.3. Click on the ‘Drivers’ tab at the top of ‘Print server properties’ window4. Choose the printer you want to uninstall and click ‘Remove’5. Choose 'Remove driver only'6. The next screen will give a warning, letting you know that deleting the driver package will remove it from the system. Click ‘Yes’ to say that you are sure you want to do this. If documents are stuck in the print spooler, you may see an error, cancel any documents pending in the print queue, or try restarting the print spooler, then try to remove the driver from ‘Print server properties’ again. If it still won’t remove the package, restarting the computer and the printer should resolve this ‘in use’ error and allow the driver to be removed. If the you continue to get an 'in use' message follow the steps in the document here; The Specified Printer Driver is Currently in Use
     After the driver is removed, open Start > All Programs > HP folder > Printer folder > HP Setup and Software (or the printer icon).
     The Setup and software screen will open and you can click on Connect a new printer.
      If this issue persists let me know and I will see what else we can do. Thanks.

  • Printing on 2 sides of paper

    Where in Windows 8 can I tell the printer to print on both sides of paper?

    Hi,
    Well, it depends on your printer. Does your printer support duplex printing automatically ? If yes, you need the right driver. What is it ?

  • HP Officejet Pro K5400 - will NOT print on both sides

    I recently built a new computer and everything is working great, EXCEPT one thing...when trying to print on both sides using Google Chrome, Microsoft Word, or another program it gives me the error message below.  My previous computer had Windows 7 installed as well and my HP Officejet Pro K5400 had no problems  printing on both sides of the paper.  I tried using the Starter CD that came with my printer, but unfortunately since it wasn't for Windows 7 (only for Windows XP and Windows Vista) it will not install it.  I also went to HP's website to downloaded the latest drivers.  I was able to download them, but it hasn't fixed my problem.   By the way, I do have a duplex unit on my prtiner (in case you're wondering).  I'm not sure if my duplex unit still works, or if it's something else.  If there are any solutions that you can give to fix this problem, I would be very appreciative.  The error message is below:
    Automatic Two-Sided Printing Module Missing
    The document has been configured to print using the Automatic Two-Sided Printing Module but the module is not installed in the device.
    The document will be printed one-sided. 

    Hi,
    First remove and re-0attach the duplex accessory at the bak of the printer to enure it is well seated:
    http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c00845167/
    Next ensure the duplex unit is set as installed within the print driver by entering the  Control Panel > Devices and Printers.
    Right click the printer icon, then click Printer Properties.
    Click the Device Settings tab.
    Set the Automatic Two-Sided Duplex Accessory as installed and click OK to save the change.
    Now try printing on both sides and check for any difference.

  • IMac won't let me print on both sides using my hp D2400 printer

    I just received my iMac and was trying to print on both sides using my hp D2400. But, on the option page, it won't let me choose "Print on both sides". Why? How do I fix it? Thanks!!

    From the HP Support site, have you done the following, as you need to:
    Install or update the HP software with Apple Software Update
    Choose your connection type for steps to install HP software using Apple Software Update.
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c03404580&lc=en #N187
    USB connection
    Click the Apple menu ( ), and then click Software Update . Software Update checks for available updates and updates the database that your Mac uses to determine available printer software.
    Click Show Details , select any available software updates, and then click Install .

    Turn on your printer, and then make sure that it has paper in the tray and that it is in a ready state.
    Connect the USB cable to the printer and to the Mac. A print queue is automatically created for your printer. If the Mac already has current software for your printer, the print queue is created in the background.NOTE:If you are prompted to install any additional software for your printer, click Install , and then follow the instructions to complete the installation.
    Click the Apple menu, and then click System Preferences .
    Click Print & Scan , and then make sure that your printer is in the list of available devices.If your printer is not listed, click the plus sign ( ) at the bottom of the left pane, click the name of your USB printer, and then click Add .NOTE: Quit and restart any applications that were open before adding the printer to use the updated HP software features.

  • My Officejet 7410 won't print documents

    My Officejet 7410 won't print any files.  The HP downloadable troubleshooting utility found nothing wrong with my printer.  I've deleted this printer from Windows XP.  I've then shut down my computer and printer, restarted the computer, and then reinstalled my printer.
    I can print a test page just fine.  I can scan a document and save it.  But I can't print from Word, WordPad, NotePad, or any document through my browser, which is Google Chrome.
    The printer was working perfectly yesterday.  Any ideas on what is going on?
    I'm pretty desperate, I need to be able to print for my job, and by tomorrow morning I'm going to need to print again, so the clock is definitely ticking.
    UPDATE:  I removed the printer(s) from my printer list, completely uninstalled the software, and downloaded new software and reinstalled the printer.  Now it prints and scans.

    Hi,
    Do you have an option for Draft mode in the print settings / print preferences?
