J5780 All in One won't do manual 2-sided printing in Vista 64 bit.

My new computer runs Vista Home Premium. I got the CDs from HP for Vista and installed the printer. However, it won't do manual 2-sided printing anymore. It prints the odd-numbered pages and then freezes. The page that tells you to turn over the paper for "side 2" never shows up. The power light flashes, the print queue freezes, and I have to use the HP DIagnostic Tool to manually clear it. I have tried emailing tech support, but the link doesn't work. I tried talking to a live tech but he told me it would cost me over $30 and they couldn't guarantee a resolution. I use this feature a lot and don't want to be without it. HELP!!!

I  not quite experienced this personally yet (my QD 2006 have is still OK until end of April) but I have heard from folks with this issue.  The only workaround I have heard is to use Quicken to print to a PDF file and then print the PDF's using Adobe reader.

  • L7680 All-in-one, won't pick up paper and print when sending MS word Document to printer

    This printer has worked great for over 2 years. If I do a print test page it works fine. It prints out a fax confirmation page fine. When I send a document from MS word to printer I can hear it trying but it won't pick up paper. Says empty, add paper yet there is paper in bed. I have done all the  tests suggested by HP. partial reset, tried reloading software, cleaning, adjusting, etc. Any Ideas would be appreciated

    Hi,
    From your post, you indicated "cleaning"... have you cleaned the rollers as described in step 4 of this document?
    Printer doesn't pick up paper
    Paper fiber "build up" occurs on older printers and rollers occasionally need cleaned.

  • C3180 Photosmart All-in-one won't print. Gives message 'clear paper jam.' There is no paper jam.

    C3180 Photosmart All-in-one won't print. Gives message  'clear paper jam.'  There is no paper jam.  About a month ago there was a paper jam, but was removed.  It worked fine since then until yesterday.  I've tried all the HP trouble-shooting suggestions- unplug, take apart, manually move carriage, etc. and nothing has solved the problem.  The paper does not advance...all that happens if I try to print is a lot of noise like carriage going back and forth and after a/b 1-2 minutes it will show the "red X" blinking on the printer and a message on the computer screen, "Clear paper jam."  When the problem first started yesterday the message was that the printer was "Out of paper."  I need to print a resume and this is just the wrong time for someone such as myself with little computer knowledge to try to figure it out.  Thanks for any suggestions!

    Hi there pattimessick,
    You may not need to remove/re-add. Try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03275041&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
    It can fix a lot on its own (especially connectivity problems) and if not give a better idea of what is going on.
    Best of Luck!

  • 6150 All-in-One won't print black

    My HP Photosmart 6150 All-In-One won't print black. There is a new black cartridge and all the other inks are fine as well.  I've cleaned the printhead 3 times and all that printed was yellow.  I then  ran an alignment. The alignment failed, but it wasn't because of a paper issue. The manual says it could be that the printhead assembly or the sensor is defective. Is it worth getting that fixed, or should I just get a new printer? I've had this one for 8 years and it's worked great until now.

    Hi , Welcome to the HP Forums! I noticed that your HP Photosmart c6150 will not print black. I am happy to look into this issue for you!  According to this guide, Color Mix or Missing Colors on the Diagnostic Page, it states: Missing colors occur when the printhead nozzles dry out. Since you have tried cleanign the printhead multiple times, and the issue is still occuring, I would consider having the printer serviced/or replaced. Please contact HP, phone support for further assistance. (After you fill out the information, you will be given a phone number.) If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

  • My 5250 all in one won't email with Windows 7

    Since I installed windows 7 my 5250  all in one won't e-mail anything since I don't have WINDOWS MAIL ANYMORE, and it only gives you windows mail as the only option to email.
    Anyone know how to correct this?

    In the Start Menu,  type 'Live Essentials', and open the option which says to go online to get Windows Live Essentials. This way, you can install Windows Mail.

  • FRUSTRATED - windows 7 64 bit driver HP 6500 709e all in one won't install on 2 computers

    Hi,
    My son and I both got new laptops for Christmas.  I have had nothing but problems installing our wireless printer with its full features.  My son's computer is a Dell, mine is a Toshiba.  From what I could find both needed the same driver but both have had MAJOR issues getting the install to complete and installing the device. Somehow I was able to get it installed on my Toshiba but the "fix" I used didn't work on the Dell.  PLEASE HELP! Thanks
    Carol
    Sorry I realized I did add much information.  The printer is the 6500 all in one deskjet 709e.  I have tried installing the 64 bit, windows 7...i also downloaded the update. Eventually it worked for my Toshiba laptop but still can't get it to install on my son's dell.
    After numerous tries,
    I downloaded the driver for windows 7, 64 bit driver and then downloaded the update.  The driver/software wouldn't install the device until I did the update (for my Toshiba) but this is not working for the Dell.  Also I did download the troubleshooter and it was useless! 

    Welcome to the HP Forums Zoney,
    I read your post which indicates that you are getting a "MICROSOFT VISUAL C ++RUNTIME LIBRARY" error, when trying to install the printer software. I can help you with this.
    Download and install this Patch> Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Error.
    Uninstall the printer software.
    Before installing the printer software again, setup the Admin rights on the computer.
    Run Command Prompt as Administrator. Go to the start menu, type “CMD” in the search bar. Now, you should see a shortcut for CMD above. Right click on it, and click “run as administrator”. If it asks you for administrative permission, please allow permission. In your Command Prompt window (as administrator), type the following and hit Enter: net user administrator /active:yes
    You should see a message saying "the command completed successfully". After troubleshooting is done, you can disable this account by typing the following command into Command Prompt (as administrator): net user administrator /active:no.
    Restart the computer, and utilize the new account that is available, which should be named "Administrator".
    Here are some more steps you can try if you are still getting the Runtime error.
    But it is looking more like a Operating System issue.
    Download and install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010, 2008 and 2005 Redistributable Packages.
    You will find the download links to these packages below:
    2005 - http://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/download/details.as​​px?id=26347
    2008 - http://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/download/details.as​​px?id=5582
    2010 - http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.as​​px?id=14632
    Try the installation again please.
    Let me know how you make out.
    Have a nice day!
    Thank You.

  • Manual double sided printing in Pages

    I'm VERY new to Pages and have created my first document. I don't really know if this is a Pages question or a printer issue. When I choose print for my document, it automatically prints all pages. How do I set things up so only one page prints at a time? I want to do manual two-sided printing on an HP Photosmart 2400 series. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    The print dialog box is pretty uniform throughout OSX.
    To do manual two sided printing look in the print dialog box for the options to print only odds or evens and experiment which direction you need to turn and stack your paper so that it comes out in the end, two sided and in the right order.

  • 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) :

    <option name="PQGroup_5"/>
    </fname>
    </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).

  • HP Photosmart Plus B210a all-in-one won't display any networks in the list.

    Hi, I recently purchased a HP Photosmart Plus all in one printer and I've been having trouble with it from day one.
    First off, it won't connect wirelessly.
    It won't display any networks in the list when searched for, it won't take my network details when I manually input them and it won't take any static IP address I've tried from other suggestions.
    Secondly, the print quality is very bad. Streaks and fading are occuring and after using up 70% of my ink trying to sort it out through troubleshooting it's still bad.
    It's extremely important for me to be able to have web access using the printer as all members of my household use it and it'll get fustrating having to car laptops and computers around to print.
    Can anybody help at all?

    Top line says "The wireless radio is not functioning. Contact HP support"
    I take this as a very bad sign and needs replacing?
    The tests I done produce streaks, fading and lines. I printed off two photos, one from a memory card and one from a scan. The memory card produced heavy blocked lines of color and the scan was just dull.
    I'm using a Wanadoo Wireless Livebox and Windows 7 64 Bit
    One other question... is this like a brilliant printer for photos mainly? I'm a Graphics design student and although my final prints are made from home I would like accurate and decent printouts for my portfolios. Should I keep this or go for another one with similar features and better print quality?

  • 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?

    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).

  • Officejet J5780 all in one

    How many F*&^$*(#$#(*&$#(*& times am I going to have to install the software for this D*#$&#* machine???????????  This is the 6th or 7th time that I've had problems and HP's only solution is "reinstall the software".  The first time, I used the software that came with the product, but the fax didn't show up.  HP told me to download the latest software.  Did that and it showed up.  Things were fine for a couple of weeks.  Then, I tried to fax something (1 page from the computer and a couple in the tray).  A box came up that windows was trying to install the scan software and it was looking for a file in a temp folder that no longer existed.  It was looking for scan.msi (I searched and that file wasn't on my computer at all). Uninstalled, reinstalled, fax didn't show up (just printer).  Uninstalled, reinstalled.  All fine for a couple of weeks.  Go to send fax (again, pages from computer and pages in tray) and get the same error (windows trying to install scan software.  Only alternative to uninstall, reinstall software.  Same process at least another 3 times.  Again, how many F *($*R*#$* times am I going to have to install this F*#$*#&$*# software?????????????????
    On top of that, HP is dumbing down their software everytime they update.  The first HP I had, I could receive the faxes to my computer so that if I didn't want to print them, I didn't have to.  On their next round of "upgrades" (said laughingly), they eliminated that (guess they weren't selling enough ink if all the trash faxes didn't automatically print).  You used to be able to include a computer generated cover sheet too.  That has also been eliminated (again, resulting in more ink used because you now have to print the cover sheet before faxing).  
    I've had enough!  I'm ready to jump the HP ship.  As stated on the customer support board, they don't give a **bleep** about their customers.  They've outsourced their tech support (so that you can't understand the ppl that are supposed to be helping you) and they've done everything they can to make you use more ink.  Not to mention all the time I've lost installing and uninstalling the **bleep** software.

    I'm not new to computers but am new forums.  I need help with my J5780 officejet all in one.  I cannot scan.  I get an error message about the "CD I'm trying to scan"...which I'm not.  I found something similar on some board but cannot find any help.  I also read the that I should search first but I can't even do that with any success.  I guess I need lottsa help.  I never had trouble with scannng before, but I sure am now.  Thanks.
