HP Photosmart D7160 printer could it be fitted with a double sided print unit?

I only need to know if my HP Photosmart D7160 printer was made with the provision of or could it be fitted with a double sided print unit.?  If I had got the answer I would have purchased the required part.
i have been searching the HP web site on and off for the last four years for the answer to this question only to find myself going round in circles without ever getting any practical answer.  If and when HP have the courage to answer the question
and the answer is what I think it will be I will take the printer back whence it came from and demand a refund in full!
I have just tried a spell check and the website doesn't recognised the name/number of HP manufactured equipment that is clearly printed on the front cover and when I instal HP print cartriges HP tell me I have been a good boy.

Page 9 of the user manual indicates there is an optional accessory for double side printing.  The data sheet here indicates that (in the US) the part number is:
HP ph5582 Two-sided Printing Accessory
Q5582A
HP ph5582 Two-sided Printing Accessory Q5582A
A Google search turns up a number of offerings.

  • Need help with doing double sided printing!!!

    i have a Epson XP-100 priniter and also MacBook pro laptop
    i am having serious trouble with doing double side printing
    can somebody assist me through please
    thanks

    Read the user manual that came w/the printer.  It will tell you if double sided printing is compatible w/your current OS which you did not mention.  If not, you will need to contact Epson tech support and/or post in their forums if they have one. 

  • Printing multiple documents in single pdf on double sided printer

    What is the best way to print a PDF document with a large number of documents so that the start of a successive document does not end up printing on the back page of the prior document? Each document has a cover page and could be used as a "key", but not sure how to set that "cover page" as the key which could then be used to instruct the printer to start on a new page - almost as if a new print job??

    http://www.a-pdf.com/?product-mg
    is a program which you can select a bunch of pdf files and combine them into one pdf.  In the options pane , you can tell it to automatically add a blank page at the end of each odd numbered pdf file.   You can simply then print the new combined pdf double sided on your copier, and it would print correct.
    If you want to still have the pdf as separate pdfs, in Options you can select " bookmark by file name" before combining. 
    After combining, view the new pdf in Acrobat and  you can 'split pdfs by top level bookmarks.

  • Double Sided Printing on Envy100 D410c

    Is there any way to set double sided printing as the default so that long pdf files sent through e-print will be printed double sided, saving a ton of paper?

    Unfortunately ePrint does not support double sided printing. You could try printing using iPrint or Airprint to get double sided printing.

  • 7410 double sided printing

    Well here I am again with printing problems.
    I have a Mac Book Pro using OS 10.9.5, Mavericks. I managed to resolve my Print/Scan problem with Shlomil's help. Also, he helped me some time ago with a double sided printing problem. Now I find I have the same double sided printing problem but am unable to follow his advice (which fixed the problem last time)....
    Now, The two sided printing box does not appear on the print drop down menu! So, I went on to the following (using the last advice Shlomil provided)...
    "1. Verify the duplex-printing accessory has been installed properly. To verify this open the System Preferences and go to Printers & Scanners. Open the print queue of your printer. Click on Printer Setup and from the tab menu choose Driver. Verify the box next to HP Two-sided Printing Accessory (Duplexer) is checked."  
    However, when I select the "Open Print Queue" there is no "Printer Setup" on the tab menu. So, I can't verify the "HP Two-sided Printing Accessory (Duplexer) is checked " (unless I'm doing something wrong). I  and went on to #2. 
    2. On the File menu, select Print. The Print window appears.
    NOTE: The Print window might be minimized. Click on Show Deatils to see all available settings.
    3. In the expanded Print window you will find next to Copies the checkbox for Two-Sided. Check the box.
    NOTE: If the checkbox does not appear within the specific application print dialog, skip this step.
    I skipped the above step since the two sided printing box does not appear on the print drop down Menu (and no expanded print window available).
    I  went on to #4.
    4. To select the binding type click the lowest selection box listed as the name of the program (e.g. TextEdit)
    Will appear as Copies & Pages within Microsoft Office applications.
    5. Select Layout from the drop-down menu.
    6. Set the Two-Sided option as Long-Edge binding (Portrait), or Long-Edge binding (landscape).
    Now, I don't show a "binding type" In the Layout" selection in the drop-down menu, etc.
    Shlomil suggested if this didn't work to reset the printing system. I'm really scared to do that because I have 3 printers and a scanner in different locations. When I selected the reset printing system the drop down said it would delete everything...all printers, scanners, faxes, etc.
     Is there any other less severe solution? I'm stumped! This all worked before (two sided printing, print/scan). The only thing I can think of is when I correct permissions or update to a newer OS.
    Please HELP! 
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Well...I can't believe it!  Please disregard my ramblings.
    I mucked around in the printer stuff and in System Preferences "Printers & Scanners", selected "Options & Supplies"  rather than the "Open Print Queue" and then selected "Options". The  "HP Two-sided Printing Accessory (Duplex)" box was located there. It was not checked. Although I don't know how it got unchecked, I checked it and it fixed my problems.
    Thanks Again

  • Double sided printing on HP officejet 7410 and windows 8.1

    I recently had to upgrade to a new computer with Windows 8.1 and after downloading the driver for my old HP Officejet 7410 All in One WITH the double sided printing attachment, I cannot get it to print on both sides automatically, as in the printer setup there is only "print one page" or manually print double sided.  I continue to get the manual print instructions to turn the pages over.  I have downloaded the driver twice and cannot find an option for the double sided driver.  The printer still prints double sided automatically with the other old computer i have.
       Help ~ wanting to print double sided!

    I have the same problem.  I have the HP Officejet 7410 that supports automatic double sided printing.  I recently upgraded to Windows 8.1.  I installed the most recent software and drivers from the HP support site.  But automatic double sided printing is no longer an option.  What's up with that HP?  How about a fix?

  • Double sided printing

    Hi everyone,
    I've been reading posts by others regarding problems with double sided printing on mac. Since I changed to a mac, I havent been able to print double sided from my epson sx425w printer. This can be quite annoying if you a lot of pages to print. The double sided print option is just disabled so I cant even select it and I dont have the option of "Duplexer" or "Duplex Printing" as suggested in other posts. Besides, I've not been able to use my scanner since upgrading to Mavericks-I know others have had similar problems too.
    Anyone come across similar problems?
    Thanks

    The sx425w is not listed on:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669
    which means you are totally dependent on the Epson drivers.  There are sx420w drivers, which may work for it, or may not.  Contact Epson for details.
    The sx425w drivers for Print and Scan has not been updated since 2010:
    http://esupport.epson-europe.com/FileDetails.aspx?lng=en-IE&data=FCFfEfoyEiHIEHY ej3fxPyCU002F5lk7kA7sM98zHIPBYkwU003D&id=327010

    (scan)
    And as such may still have elements to try to maintain compatibility with applications requiring old PowerPC code, which won't work with Mac OS X 10.7 or later.
    The good news is that they mention the sx420w driver.    So that suggests after applying it, and the update from Apple:
    Epson Printer Drivers v2.17 for OS X
    It may work.  Repairing permissions with Disk Utility may help after all is said and done.  Otherwise at least for scanning you may be forced to use open source drivers on my FAQs*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/printersx.html
    http://www.macmaps.com/macosxnative.html#SCANNER
    Alternatively for duplex printing, you could print just even pages at one time, and then rotate the pages 180 degrees and flip them upside down and print odd pages to achieve duplex printing.  Test first with only a couple pages in the tray until you get the sequence right.
    * Links to my macmaps pages may give me compensation.

  • Deskjet 930c does not do double sided printing with windows 7

    We have just obtained a new machine with Windows 7 and connected the existing Deskjet 930c via a usb cable.
    Under windows XP it was possible to select double sided printing and a prompt was displayed on the screen to turn the paper round.
    This is not happening under windows 7. Is there something we have not done? Or is it not possible any more.
     It does go through the motion of double sided printing but does not stop to change the paper.
    Any ideas anyone - we do a lot of double sided printing and we hav spent hours trying to sort this out.

    Please look at the HP Support page,
    http://h10010.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00098827&lc=ja&dlc=ja&cc=jp
    Unfortunately, I could not find an equivalent page in English.  This is for Win XP and Vista, but I checked
    that a similar logic can be applied to Windows 7, too.
    step 1 to 3 is to show property of the printer Deskjet9xxC.
    step 4 is to select device setting tab
    step 5: change "installable option" from "uninstalled" to "already installed"
    step 6: OK
    step 7: select print setting
    step 8: select layout tab, and choose either long edge or short edge
    that is all.
    In my Japanese Windows 7 environment, when I double-click the "HP DeskJet 930C/932C/935C" icon, there are three sub items appeared.  Two out of these three were used in the above steps.
    Please try.

  • Last page of pdf inverted when double-sided printing

    Last year, my old tower Mac (OSX10.7.5)  suddenly began printing out the last page (only) of any PDF with an odd number of pages inverted in both vertical and horizontal axes (i.e. upside down mirror-writing), when doing double-sided printing on our HP Color Laserjet CP4005dn.  Single sided printing from the same Mac and PDF worked fine. The same last page also prints correctly if I simply chose to print that page alone.  I do not have the 'flip horizontal' checkbox ticked.  I could find no solution.
    I bought an iMac 27" late 2013 with OSX 10.9.4:  all upgrades installed.  I still have the same problem.  I repeat, this only happens in double-sided printing (selected 'long edge binding' under Layout) of the last page of a PDF with odd-numbered pages.  Word .docx  and other documents print just fine from the same computer and printer with same settings in the Print dialogue.
    Any suggestions?
    MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.4), plus iMac 27" OSX 10.9.4

    Hi,
    Please take the footer subform from the tables section and position it on the page where u want to print and write the script so that it will print only on last page.

  • How do I enable double sided printing on my iPad through the HP ePrint app?

    HP Laser jet 1102w
    I have Windows 7 64 bit and a original iPad.
    I would like to save paper when I am printing from my iPad. Is there a setting to enable double-sided printing when printing from an iPad using the HP ePrint app?

    Hi,
    Printing a manual duplex printing is not supported by the HP ePrint app or AirPrint as well, it can only be done with printers who provide automatic two-sided printing.

  • How do I use the double sided printing with my HP Officejet 6500A plus

    I need help with learning to use the double sided printing with my HP Officejet 6500A Plus

    Click on the Show Details button just above:
    You can configure various options from the dropdown menu just below Orientation.
    Printing two-sided requires a two-sided adaptor for the printer. Otherwise, you have to print out odd numbered pages first, turn them over and reinsert into the paper feeder, then print even numbered pages. If you do it right you get a nice two-sided document. If you do it wrong all the even numbered pages will be upside down.

  • How can I permanently disable double sided printing in Acrobat Reader 11.0.09?

    It is annoying to have to manually turn off double sided printing every time I print a *.pdf.  Is this fixable?

    Hi prtlaw,
    Are you still look for answer?
    These option are available with printer drivers. So, this is something you need to check from printer http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows/choosing-print-options#1TC=windows-7
    Or change the properties of every document:

  • HP Laserjet 1300 Manual Double Sided Printing with Windows 7

    I just purchased a new laptop with windows 7, love the interface but have some hiccups here and there.  And the one that is the biggest pain is printing.  I have a HP Laserjet 1300 connected via a linksys print server.  Single sided printing works just fine, but I used to be able to (and still can from my work laptop running XP and from my wifes Laptop running Vista Home) print double sided manually.  But now even though it says duplex, it will not work and I think the Windows Driver believes that it is a duplexer attached to the printer verses a manual feature.  Any ideas on how to get my manual double sided printing back?

    Nice one...
    I found you can also modify the "Manual Duplex Help" section to provide instructions to the user while duplex printing :
    The following prn_grp displays pictures similar to the Laserjet 1300 and has the right procedure (take the printed pages and place them in the same orientation in the tray) :

    More importantly, I was also able to modify the hpcu1306.xml file to enable full 1200 dpi support, by adding the following prn_grp at the end of the "Print Quality" section (after the hp LaserJet 9040 prn_grp and before the closing "</feature>")

    <option name="PQGroup_5"/>

    </prn_grp>
    NB : PQGroup_2 is for 600 dpi, PQGroup_4 is for FastRes 1200 dpi (fast) and PQGroup_5 is for ProRes 1200 dpi (finer, slower, more memory used).
