HP Officejet J4500 duplex printing with Windows 8

I have an HP Officejet J4500 All-in-One printer that I purchased about 5 years ago when I was still using MS XP on an Off Brand computer. It worked fine and would print double-sided when I wanted to save paper on a larger print job. It would even show me on the PC moniter with an illustration when to turn the pages to do the back side printing. However, my old computer died last summer, so I upgraded to an HP computer (without the printer, since I had a good one already!), using the newest Windows 8 system. My problem is, the printer still woks perfectly EXCEPT for two-sided printing (and no helpful illustrations on the moniter!) How do I fix that? Do I need to re-install the printer wizard or do a Windows 8 upgrade for the printer?

Hello there bevspets, Welcome to the Forums! I hope you enjoy your experience
I saw your post about not being able to duplex print on Windows 8 with your OJ J4500 series. I would suggest running the HP Print and Scan Doctor
to start, which should correct printing or scanning issues for you. If there is more of a serious issue, it will alert you to what it is.
Please let me know the results!
Thanks for posting, enjoy your day

HP Laserjet p2015d auto duplex printing with Windows 7 64 bit operating system

I have used the HP Laserjet p2015d with Windows 7 32 bit operating system and have been able to use the AUTOMATIC DUPLEX feature of the printer without problems.
Now, however, I have installed the 64 bit version of Windows 7 operating system and the AUTO DUPLEX does not work and is not shown as being available on the PROPERTIES menu of the printer.
Is it possible to use the AUTO DUPLEX feature of the printer with Windows 7 64 bit operating system.
All replies welcomed! Aaron in Calif.

Hi Aaron,
Make sure the Automatic Duplexing option is enabled:
Enter 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 Automatic Duplexing should become available.

Duplex printing with Designer 8 (not ES)

Hi,
I only have the Designer 8.0 that came with Adobe Design Standard CS3, so I don't have the "PDF Print Options" under "Form Properties". Is there any possiblity to set the DuplexMode anyway? I'm not used to coding, so I would be pleased for an easy to understand explanation, if it is possible via script.
Thanks.

Why won't my printer print with Windows 8?

Why won’t my printer print with Windows 8?
Have you just upgraded, or purchased a new computer with Windows 8, and now you can’t get your printer to work? If so, this may help you. A lot of people have questions about installing their printer on a new OS. This will help you answer those questions and make sure that you get everything installed.
Before You Start
Before you try to install the printer on a Windows 8 computer, you should check to make sure the printer is compatible with the new OS. The link below will give you a list of the printers that will work in Windows 8.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03168175&lc=en&cc=us&destPage=document&dlc=en
If you have upgraded your computer to Windows 8 form another version of Windows, make sure to completely uninstall all of the software for your printer. It should still print, but to use all the functions you will need to reinstall the software, if it’s available.
Another thing to consider is how you want to connect the printer to the computer.
USB. You should make sure that you have a USB cable that is no longer than 6 ft. (roughly 2m). Make sure to connect the printer directly to the computer. Do not use a USB hub.
Ethernet cable. Make sure you have the network setup, that you have a free cable port on the router, and that you have an Ethernet cable available.
Wireless. You should make sure that you have the wireless network setup, and that you have the password for the wireless network.
1.     Installing Via USB
Installing via USB in Windows 8 has become much simpler for HP printer users. In other versions of the Windows OS you had to start the installation and wait for it to ask you for the USB connection. If you didn’t, you would have to uninstall the printer from the Printers/Devices folder, and then start the install. In Windows 8, that will not be a problem. If you plug the printer’s USB cable in and then install the printer’s software, it will still work. Now for in depth instructions on installing the printer via USB click the link below.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03460670&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&la...
2.     Installing Via an Ethernet Network Connection
For an Ethernet network connected printer the install is amazingly simple. All you have to do is connect the printer to the network. Once you have that done, Windows 8 will automatically install the drivers for you. Then, all you have to do is install the rest of the software, if it’s available. It’s really that easy.
http://www8.hp.com/us/en/support-drivers.html
3.     Installing Via a Wireless Network Connection.
For a wireless network connected printer the install is amazingly simple as well. All you have to do is connect the printer to the network. Once you have that done, Windows 8 will automatically install the drivers for you. Then, all you have to do is install the rest of the software, if it’s available. It’s pretty much the same as an Ethernet install, just wireless.
http://www8.hp.com/us/en/support-drivers.html
Alternate Install Methods
With Windows 8, many printers’ drivers are installed with the OS. These are known as InOS drivers, since they come built into the operating system. If you have one of those printers, all you should have to do is connect it to the computer via USB, or connect it to the network via Ethernet or wireless. Once you have that done Windows will handle the rest. There are alternate methods of installing your printer if the normal methods are not working for some reason. You can install the printer either using the Printer Install Wizard, or through Windows Updates.
Printer Install Wizard:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02681060&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&la...
Windows Update:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03460648&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&la...
Note: The Laserjet drivers for the Asia-Pacific and Japan won’t be released until a later date. Check the support site linked below for driver availability. I will update this post once they become available.

How to duplex print with HP 200 Laserjet?

I'm having trouble duplex printing with my new Macbook Pro. Any suggestions? I have reloaded print drivers- Originally I was not able to select double sided printing but now I can, but it does not actually print double sided.

For cases where there is no hardware duplexer and the manufacturer's driver does not support manual duplexing, you could try HP's two-sided printing PDF workflow. I have not tried that for quite a while, so I can't guarantee it still works with the latest version of OS X.

Duplex printing with officejet pro 8000

I am using this officejet pro 8000 to print up some newsletters. When printing a two sided copy (duplex printing) something happens which changes my border setting. Printing the exact same document, but electing one-sided copy renders a perfect border. I would not have a problem copying just one side, then re-loading those in order to make two-sided copies, but the friction caused by the ink on the pages causes mulitple sheets to feed at the same time, jamming the printer. Has HP ever come up with a fix for this? I have seen this problem on the net, but the best folks have done (that I have seen) is to upload drivers for older machines. This has rendered good borders on duplex prints, but diminishes the quality of the print copy. Whatcha think?

Are you using the latest drivers from HP? If I set up a printer with the HP Officejet Pro 8000 A809 Series PPD, I can see Two-Sided to the right of Collated if the HP Two-sided Printing Accessory (Duplexer) is checked in the Print & Fax -> Options & Supplies -> Driver tab.

Automatic duplex printing with DeskJet 6980dt with Windows 7, MS Office 2010

What do I need to do in order for my DeskJet 6980dt to automatically duplex print without manually inserting the paper? Prior to changing my OS from XP to W-7 the printer would duplex print when I changed the "properties" but since installing W-7 "properties" does not provide me with that option.

We have found that Microsoft Mail does not work with Windows 7 and MS Office 2010 combination.
When you try to configure it given error 0x8004110.
Windows 7 is a supported operation system for Office 2010. At what exactly point will you get the specific error?
Is that a Click-To-Run version of Office 2010? By default, for MSI-based version of Office, when you upgrade existing Office 2007 to Office 2010, the earlier version of Office will be removed:

Compatibility Windows XP HP officejet 6500 (E709) printer with new HP Pavilion

I just purchased a HP Pavilion 23 all-in-one. The store where I bought it said that they could not set up my HP Officejet 6500 (E709) printer because it was not compatible with the new Windows installed on the Pavilion. The CD for the printer says Windows XP, Vista Version 12.00 on the label. I hate to give up a perfectly good printer just because it is not compatible with the new PC. Is there a fix for this or was the technician just not looking in the right place for the driver.

Here is a link for the 6500 E709a drivers.
There are a few E709 models, so if yours is not a E709a model post back with the correct model #.

Officejet 7310 duplex printing

My printer has suddenly stopped printing duplex. It copies a document double sided ok, but won't print a document. I'm using Microsoft Word with Windows XP.
It prints page 1 starting at the top of the page and print the text to the bottom of the page and then throws out the sheet. It then prints page 2 on another sheet starting with the text at the bottom of the page and prints the text to top!!! This means I have to turn round every second sheet to get the document in order.
The pages that I'm printing are quite full of text and include the page number and a one line footer.

Hello geoff34falmouth,
First of all make sure that the duplexer is "activated" in the driver of the printer. Go to Printers&Faxes and right click the Officejet 7310 driver (should be called something like HP Officejet 7300 series) and click on Properties. Go to the tab called Device Settings and make sure that the duplexer is set to Installed.
Second make sure that you have the correct settings in the driver when printing, so in MS Word click File - Print, make sure that the Officejet 7310 is selected and then click Properties. Make sure that duplexing or two-sided printing is selected.
Third thing you might want to check is the margins of the document that you're printing as the top/bottom margin needs to be a bit larger when using the duplexer compared to when just printing a single-sided job. Top/bottom margins should be at least 12 mm (this is due to the paper handling of the duplexer).

Officejet 6700 duplex printing problem

Hi. When I select duplex printing on my new Officejet 6700, the image looks squashed (horizontally) so the circle looks like an upright oval. It prints fine when in single-sided mode.
