LaserJet 1015 on Win 7 (32-bit) won't print double-sided

I was always able to print double sided on XP without any problem. But after I got a new PC with Windows 7 Professional, 32-bit (with driver from win 7 itself), it would no print double-sided anymore, even though I checked the option for it in the printer option dialog box. Even the on screen reminder to instruct you to take out the papers and re-enter them for printing the other side doesn’t appear anymore. The manual double sided printing' checkbox in the driver dialog is now totally useless. Please help.

Have the same problem with a LaserJet 1150... did manual double-sided printing fine in Windows XP, but when the computer was upgraded to Win7 64-bit, it prints single-sided every time, even when you select the options for double-sided, and the Continue button does not appear. Has anyone found a fix for this? I've tried all sorts of configurations in the driver properties/preferences.

Hp Color Laserjet pro M177fw won't print double sided anymore

Hello. I have a Hp Color Laserjet pro M177fw until about three weeks ago it would print double sided no problems. I have used this printer on my pc and now my mac with no problems previously. I am running a Macbook Pro (less then six months old) which is running 10.10.1 (Yosemite). I attend college and I know at the end of last quarter during finals week (Dec. 15th) I still had the ability to do 2 sided printing. Sometime between then and the new quarter starting last monday I lost the ability to do 2 sided printing. After scouring the internet I have tried everything they suggest:
Uninstalling printer and reinstalling
resetting the printer setting on the mac and then reinstalling printer
resetting the printer settings on mac, rebooting and then reinstalling printer
installing older drivers( hp automatically installs newest drivers even if you use an older driver file)
resetting physical printer to factory default and reconnecting to wireless network.
repairing the disk permissions
The only new software I have installed on the computer in the last three weeks is Adobe Creative Cloud and the printing problem preexisted that installation.

Hi @Arboria9 ,
I see that you are experiencing issues printing two-sided from Yosemite. I would like to help you resolve this issue.
You have pretty much have done all the steps that I would have provided.
Are you still able to print two-sided from the Windows computer?
Are you missing the option to select two-sided printing in the print driver?
Check the driver name that is installed for the printer. Make sure it shows just the printer's name.
Click the Apple menu and then click System Preferences. Click Printers & Scanners, highlight the printer name on the left side and on the right side of the screen it should show the printer's name. (Officejet 6500)
If the full printer name isn't listed correctly, delete it and add the printer name back in from the list. Click the - sign to delete the driver and then click the + sign to add the driver, might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name to add it in.
How was the printer name listed?
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a great day!
Thank You.

My latest version of AR (Win 7, 64 bit) won't read older .pdf files.

My latest version of Acrobat Reader (Win 7, 64 bit) won't read older .pdf files, such as old downloaded bank statements. I get a message that the program "stopped working".
Is it possible to co-install an older version of AR?

No, you can only have one Reader version installed.
I would suggest that you first try if the error disappears if you disable Protected Mode (Edit | Preferences | Security (Advanced)).
If the error persists, uninstall Reader XI and download the older version of your choice from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

HP Laserjet P2035n is set to print double-sided, but I can't change it in the preferences

Last week i downloaded and printed a PDF file. Since then, my HP Laserjet 2035n is set to print double-sided. Here are the details.
I'm running an HP Pavilion Laptop with Windows 7 Home.
The printer is set up as a network printer.
When I try to print something, it stops after one page waiting for me to re-feed the paper manually to print on the other side.
It's only this laptop that's messed up. My other computer prints fine
When I go to Printers, right click on the 2035n, and select "Printer Properties" and look at the bottom of the General tab, it reads under Features "Double Sided: Yes"
If I then click 'Preferences..." and go to the Finishing tab, under Document Options, the box "Print On Both Sides (Manually)" box is unchecked.
Here's what I've tried:
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the printer
I reinstalled the printer drivers
I have tried reinstalling under a different name
Any suggestions? Can someone tell me where the printer preferences file is so I can manually delete it then reinstall the printer drivers? Is there a tool for the P2035N to uninstal EVERYTHING related to it?
Thanks.

Can't print double-sided on my HP printer (laserjet CP2025)

I have owned an HP laptop and printer (color laserjet CP 2025) for about one year. When I purchased the printer it said that the printer was not compatible with Windows 7 - I did not know this before i purchased the printer. I had to reset my computer recently and now do not have the ability to print double-sided. The printer works but I cannot print double-sided unless I manually insert the pages. I had the ability to print double-sided before I reset the computer. HELP! this is the most frustrating experience and I am hesitant to purchase another HP product because OF THIS BAD EXPERIENCE. When under warranty I was able to contact HP and received information on how to get the printer to be fully functional, I can't do that now. Does anyone know how to get this function working? Please help.

HP all-in-one C6180 with a duplexor fitted that printed double sided under Win XP but not Win 7 32bi

I have an HP all-in-one C6180 with a duplexor fitted.
I could print double sided under Wimdows XP but have now upgraded to Windows 7 32-bit.
I have installed the latest drivers for the C6180 from the HP site.
I cannot print double
sided because in Printer Properties > Device Settings > Installable Options the "Duplex unit for 2-sided printing" option is not available for Install.
Can you please provide a patch or the latest driver with the Install option enabled please.
Regards,
John Seager

You may need to enable the duplexer while logged in as a user with administrative privledges. Alternately go to the Devices and Printers folder, right clisk on the C6180, Printer Properties, Security, and click the settings to allow "Manage this printer" for the user.

LASERJET 5000 AND WIN 8 64-BIT

Hi...I have come upon TWO Laserjet 5000s in working condition. I seem to be having driver issues involving Win 8 64-bit. I downloaded the UPD that's supposedly for Windows 8 64-bit and installed it. The PS version does not list a 1200 DPI option. The 5000 is connected to my computer via ethernet into the JetDirect card. My computer is acting as the gateway with IP address x.x.x.39 and the printer is at x.x.x.40. I configured it manually for that address/gateway and it took. It prints a test page fine from the "printers and devices" screen in Windows 8 64-bit. I am also having trouble because I have put legal paper in tray 2 or 3, but a setting in the driver makes the printer constantly ask me to put plain LETTER size paper in tray 1. Yes, I configured trays 2 and 3 properly for legal and the word document is in legal size. I can see a 1200 dpi option if I install the PCL6 driver from Windows update, but that setting in the driver keeps saying "fit on letter size paper" And the 5000 PCL 6 driver I used from Windows Update never seems to install properly. I keep seeing that "The driver is not installed and some properties will be unavailable" but I can print a test lage I have yet to find a duplexer, though! ;-( What am I doing wrong here?? I bought these printers to do duplex printing at 1200 dpi for music. Any advice more than welcome!! Thanks.Jim Williams

Right--but there is a setting in the "EFFECTS" area of the PCL 6 driver that resets itself automatically to "print on letter," regardless of paper size. Nothing I do on the PCL 6 driver (from Windows Update) will prevent that setting from resetting itself. Here's what I want to do for now using Windows 8 : 1. Print at 1200 dpi out of PS or PCL 6--UPD does not seem to allow for1200 DPI out of Windows 8 as far as I can tell. Windows PCL 6 driver allows for 1200 DPI but has a host of other issues. 2. Figure out how to get rid of that automatic reset to "print on letter" I described above on the PCL 6 driver. 3. Figure out whether I will be wasting money on buying a duplexer for use with these Windows 8 drivers. I can't test, since nobody I know has a duplexer I can borrow. 4. Find a method to install the PCL 6 driver so Windows 8 quits telling me "it isn't installed so you won't have all the properties available." I'd like to have the driver install, and I'd like all properties to be available.

CP1518ni on Win7 64 bit won't print unless "override out" is on

I get the "replace supplies" message and the printer won't print unless the "Override out" is turned on. I replaced the ink cartridges once, then got the "replace supplies" message within days. I've installed HPPDU which refers to CP1510 series PCL6. the diagnostic screen says everything is fine. I also downloaded the update 20100616. I noted that the "workaround" ToolboxFX doesn't work with Win 7.
What am I missing?  Must I continue printing under "override out" until all four ink cartridges run out completely, then trust that the printer will operate without the override on the future cartridges? Thanks for your help on this.

1. Which supplies have you replaced?
     CB540A black, then a week later added the three colors when the supplies low message came back on the printer. (Primary use of the printer is black text; color used rarely.)
2. Does the product specify another supply low or out?
     I haven't been able to access a screen which specifies contents of the four cartridges. The orange light on the product flashes continuously, and won't print. the message simply says "replace supplies".
3. How long has this been going on?
     Problem started when the initial cartridges that came with the printer appeared to run out; about 2 months ago (worked fine for 12 months. The second set of cartridges(full HP cartridges from Office Depot) worked for two weeks or so,since then we've been using override.
4. How are you connected the the CP1518ni?
     through direct wire plug into the power strip.
5. Where are you getting the message, Printer or Computer?
    on the printer; we can't seem to access the screen that used to appear on the computer desktop that showed ink content.

How to print double sided in Win 8.1 similar to Win XP?

Recently purchased Win 8.1 PC. Installed my printer, a HP psc 1210. All appears to work except unable to select "print both sides" as I was able to do on my old Win XP PC. Noticed print properties in XP that Double Sided is marked 'Yes' while in Win 8.1 it is marked 'No'.

Thanks Rashmi for your reply. Is there any other way to do so? Actually I am trying to automate the actions of an app where launching and subsequent exiting of an app is a test case.
No available command to allow you do this, I don't know if OEM have the permission

Printing double-sided problem, Leopard, Laserjet P2055dn and Quark XPress

I've also asked about this in Quark's forum.
Printing a Quark file double-sided to the Laserjet using Leopard - first third of the sheet (A4 landscape) is blank on both sides).
This does not happen on Tiger, same file, printer and version of Quark.
Printing from any other (text) app (Acrobat pdf, Word, TextEdit, InDesign) whether on Tiger or Leopard is correct.
Any suggestions, please?

Possible solution for p2055dn and other printers using Leopard
See this reply from deving 280 post re open source drivers
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Mac-printing-and-scanning/HP-Color-Laser-Jet-3600dn -unresponsive-in-Snow-Leopard/td-p/115982/page/2
Tried this open source driver idea and eventually got the P2055dn working properly with Leopard.
NB - Follow the instructions and then use the open-source driver instead of the HP one.
Will report back if any problems arise.

Downloads of Legacy HP Laserjet drivers for Win 7 32 bit

Using the Win 7 update function to automatically download the needed printer drivers does not meet my needs. I am a volunteer who provides support to shut-ins and handicapped individuals who may or may not have any access to the Internet. So,
I need to have the necessary drivers on a USB thumb drive in order to provide support.
How do I get the needed drivers on to my USB Thumb Drive?

Hello LegacySupporter,
Do you mean that you want to download the printer drivers to the USB drive and install it in the target computers?
If yes, please download the corresponding driver from the manufacturer website.
Best regards,

Vista 64-bit Won't Print to PDF

I updated my Acrobat Pro to 8.1.2. I also attempted to install the MS hotfix (it gave me the message that the fix did not apply to my system). I am running Vista Ultimate 64-bit. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.

This was resolved by installing SP1 and uninstalling/reinstalling Acrobat Pro.

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.

Unable to print double sided Laserjet M351/M451

The duplex feature has never worked on this printer.
I have checked the printer properties, and the duplex unit is installed.
I have also looked at other questions/responses on the forum, and it does not make any difference whether "Allow manual duplexing" is enabled or disabled.

Hi,
Automatic duplex printing is only supported for the M451 series, for the M351 printer only Manual duplex printing is available.
Try following the steps listed within page 91 of the User Guide below to print manual duplex from a Windows PC:
http://h20566.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?sp4ts.oid=4344091&docId=emr_na-c02663889&docLocale...
Please let me know if Manual Duplex being done as expected or if you may experience any difficulties.
