Print with manual duplexing?

I have a HP Photosmart C6180 connected to my home network wirelessly. Under Windows, I have the option to perform a manual duplex whenever I print. What this does is it prints one side of all the pages, then a message pops up on the screen to flip the pages and reinsert them into the printer and press "ok". It's a little tedious, but it gets the job done and saves me plenty of paper.
However, I can't find if such an option exists for my Mac. The printer seems to be installed via Bonjour (it showed up under Default in Add Printer). The only option I see for duplex printing is asking me whether or not I have some sort of duplex printing accessory installed, which I don't have. Anyway I could get the manual duplex option for my Mac?

If you check your print dialog, you may have an entry called Paper Handling. This has a menu item called Pages to Print and this lets you choose Odd or Even only.
If you selected to print Odd Only first, then only pages 1,3,5,7,etc would be printed on the front side. You could then load the pages back into the printer, obviously with the blank side facing the correct orientation, and then select to print again, this time selecting Even Only.

Manual duplex HP LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP M276

I have a HP LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP M276 and my manual duplex is not duplexing properly.
There are no error messages just me grumbling at the final output.
I am using Windows 8.1 Pro and no new hard or software changes.
Here is what happens:
I am attempting to print 5 pages with the manual duplex option checked
3 pages come out (pages 1,3, & 5) and a pop up window says to reinstall the pages and hit ok.
I reinstall the pages (not adulterating the page order) Just take them off the printer and put in the tray face down with the top of paper toward the back of the printer.
What comes out is page 2 on the back of page 5 instead of being on page 1; page 4 is on the back of page 3 and page 1 is blank.
Why doesn't it know how to reverse print the odd page numbers so page 2 will end up on page the back of page 1 etc?
I tried it with a 3 page document and page 2 ended up on the back of page 3 instead of page 1. Page 1 came out blank.

Hello, I understand that you are having an issue with printing in manual mode. When printing documents in manual duplex, the best method is to select manual duplex in the printer driver and not through the application. There is a public document that might help, which can be found at the HP product/support page. When the page is availalbe search on this public document id number for instructions-c02851622. Please reply if this does or does not help.

HP Laserjet M1212NF USB no longer printing in manual duplex mode

Hello All,
I am currently having issues with my HP LaserJet M1212NF printer connected via USB. First, basic system information:
Windows 7 64-bit
Now, some backstory:
The printer was initially setup using Network installation. Then, I moved and could no longer access the network, so I deleted it from the Windows Device and Printer area and reinstalled it as a USB perinter. I installed all the updated drivers and Firmware updates. The printer now CANNOT print in duplex mode. I choose Manual Duplex in the printer settings AND when I print a multipage document. The printer simply prints the document normally, with no duplex. Please help. I've googled the problem, but have come up empty handed.

Hi Wilhendrickx,
I understand you aren't able to print two sided.
Thank you for your reply.
I will be happy to help you with this.
You can set the two sided option two different ways. Try both to see if it makes a difference.
To set the two sided printing for all print jobs.
Go to start, devices and printers, right click the printer, left click printer
properties, click on the finishing tab and check Print on both sides, (manually) apply and OK.
To set the two sided printing for 1 job.
From the application go to file, print, preferences, click on the finishing tab and
check Print on bot sides, (manually) apply and OK.
Disable the bidirectional support to see if that will make a difference.
Go to start, devices and printers, right click the printer, left click printer
properties, click on the ports tab at the top, uncheck Enable bidirectional support.
If it didn't work then go back in and check it again.
I would download and run the Print and Scan Doctor since it might resolve the issue
automatically.
Find and Fix Common Printer Problems Using HP Diagnostic Tools for Windows.
If that doesn't work then I would uninstall and reinstall the printer software.
Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Here is a URL to download and install the latest drivers again.
HP LaserJet Pro M1212nf Multifunction Printer Drivers.
Try the two sided printing now.
Hope this helps.

Automatic duplex printing not found only manual duplex

in the Data sheet for theHP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M476 series, it clearly states in the spec sheet under:
Duplex print options [under MFP M476nw Manual (driver support provided)] under MFP M476dw Automatic (standard)
However, when I choose to print ,say a Word doc or a multipage PDF with my MFP M476dw - the only option I have, when I hit Copies & Pages is Manual Duplex!!!
How do I access the Auto Duplex function please?

Manual Duplexing use on a HP Laserjet P1102w printer-How is it done?

This is a first using a manual duplex option on a printer and I have been unable to print on both sides of an HP Laserjet P1102w printer, despite doing the following:
Went to Print Setup
Under Finish: chose Print on Both Sides Manually
Left edge binding
and although it prints....I can't seem to get the 'booklet' to print correctly on the other side; Not even sure how to correctly get the paper in so it doesn't double print on the same page.
: I've tried to print first reverse pages,
then even pages in reverse,
but still unable to get the pages in order to fold and create a booklet or print multiple pages on both sides...has anyone had experience with this on what is the best way to try and print documents in booklet form or just both pages to save paper?
Is there a driver or support that will help with this?
No visual screen pops up on the monitor to help with placing the papers so it will print correctly and I have already tried with just a 6 page booklet and failed there.
I've tried googling the results, checked the HP website for any information and either have missed the support information to do this or assume there is none.
Any insight would be appreciated.

Windows 7, Manual Duplex 1200 laserjet not working, USB connection

I just want to PRINT Manual Duplex - Booklet - 2 page per sheet ....and it's not working. Actually it print pages, but just on one side.
It continues to PRINT everything on ONE side ( so the printer PRINT all on SINGLE SIDE...there is no POPUP window to TELL you to MOVE printed pages into INPUT BIN, so to continue manula duplex printing)
Sorry if my English is bad!
in Windows XP, everything was fine....but in Win 7 Entreprise 32-bit, problem with MANUAL DUPLEX
I try many drivers, because the WIN7 official driver is not having MANUAL DUPLEX. Non of them work
Next thing I notices is missing OPTION for MANUAL DUPLEX (in win7 official drivers)
Start - device and printers - (right click on) HP LaserJet 1200 Series PCL 5 - Printer Properties - Device Settings
Duplex Unit (for 2 - sided printing)....it say its INSTALLED (but I know that I dont have that). After Switching to NOT INSTALLED, the OPTION in driver for BOOKLET, simply disappear.
Any advice?

AND forgot to say,
there is NO OPTION to SET MANAUL DULPEX (in win 7 drivers)
I also readed your

Word 2007 crashes using manual duplex

I must restart PC to get manual duplex to work. I can do 1 print job with the seting on. The 2nd time, Word crashes & continues to crash until I restart the PC.

Hi @aainbc
I'd be happy to to my best to help. I understand Word crashes when you try to manual duplex.
What printer model do you have? How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number? I see you have another post and mentioned the M1217NFW, is this the printer you are speaking of?
Does this issue occur when you print from other programs? Can you save the file as a PDF and try manually duplexing from your PDF application?
Thanks, I look forward to hearing from you.

Manual duplex times out on wireless connectivity only - D5560 printer

The printer is set for manual duplex. I use a Dell Insiron laptop (OSW7) with a wireless connection to Netgear Wireless-N 3000 Router. IP address is 192.168.1.5:3910 for the wireless printer.
The pages print on the one side and then simply stop printing on the last page just before the printer should be releasing it.
If I leave everything alone, approx 15 seconds later the page gets released and the print cancels.
If I manually tug the final page out of the printer and manually insert for the second side the page has a small area at the end unfinished. The first page of the second side may have this data printed on it.
I've reinstalled the software and all hardware has driver updates etc.
My PC is cable connected to the router and I've never had this happen. It is only on the wireless connection for the laptop.
Is there a solution?

Does the printer recover by power-cycling your switch or unplugging the LAN cable to the printer?

Cp2025n color laserjet manual duplexing side two portrait & landscape transition issue

I regularly print the same documents. Each document has a portrait section, a landscape section, a portrait section then a landscape section, then a portrait section. I manually duplex the job (because I did not buy a duplexer and I am saving trees).
On the first side of the page, everything works great... job runs straight through the printer then I am prompted to insert the half printed pages into tray 1 and push OK on the printer. The first portrait section is printed. The printer stops on the first landscape page and prompts me to load paper into tray 1 (even though it is already there) and push OK again, I do so, and it proceeds till the job switches to portrait mode, prompts me to load paper into tray 1 (even though it is already there) and push OK again, I do so, and it proceeds till the job switches to landscape mode, etc... making me babysit the printer as it prints the second side of each job.
I have multiple different print jobs with the similar layout... portrait, landscape, portrait, landscape, and finishing with portrait. All of them behave the same. The number of pages in the portrait section and landscape section vary by job and within job. The prompt from the printer is always at the transition point between portrait & landscape mode. The printer only stops when printing side two of the page.
I believe I am running the most current drivers and software on my PC for the printer. The update task runs regularly and is not informing me that there is new software available. The only indication of what firmware is running on the printer is this info
Firmware Datecode: 20100512
This strikes me as a printer driver issue... Anybody got any other ideas? Anybody noticed this same issue? Can someone from HP test this out for themselves and verify there is a problem? I have tried searching the forums but every post I have found so far is not on point.
Thanks!

No longer seeing prompt for Manual Duplex on LaserJet M1217nfw MFP for my Mac (OS 10.10.4)

We have not been able to use the Manual Duplex Feature of our printer for quite some time. In the past we simply saw, in the Print dialog box, a check box option next to 'duplex'. This was available when using the Mac Text Editor, or our Microsoft Office for Mac tools (Word, Excel, etc.) or even printing webpages from the Browser. First Im thinking that maybe we dont have the most current printer software (seeing we have upgrading our MAC OS software regularly as new releases come out). Can you help me determine where I can find my installed version of the HP print driver, what the current version should be, and how to download the latest copy if I need it? I obviously dont want to re-install the driver if I dont need to. Next, lets address where I can turn the duplex option on. Is there a setting on the printer itself? I have looked at the System Preferences of the HP software and dont see any options. I have also looked at the specific print options under File / Print of the appication I am in (see list above). Ive read some solutions off the HP Forum page and they dont help either (the options discussed are not applicable to what I see on my computer). Thanks,Ms-Daly (I cant seem to find a Forum discussion that answers my needs for my exact make/model of computer and printer; nor can I find a user manual online for my EXACT printer model).

Hi , Thanks for posting in the HP Forums, and welcome. I understand you are having an issue selecting the manual duplex print setting for your HP LaserJet Pro M1217nfw printer on your Mac computer running 10.10. I'd love to help you with this. Firstly, do you have the most recent HP Printer driver update installed? If not you can download it from the App Store here - HP Printer Drivers v3.1 for OS X Then, I'd recommend removing and re-adding your printer, to make sure you are using the correct driver (10.10 will often default to using an AirPrint driver which does not have a manual duplexing option). Click the Apple icon on your menu bar.Select System Preferences, then Printers and Scanners.Select your M1217 and click the (-) button to remove it.Press the (+), and then select Add Printer or Scanner. (NOTE: You don't want to add the printer as a "nearby printer" even if it is listed there)Select your printer from the list of available printers that loads.Make sure under "Use:" that it lists the printer name (not AirPrint), then select Add.Try printing your document(s) again.Please respond to let me know if we've resolved this issue!Good luck.

PAPER JAMMED DURING MANUAL DUPLEX PRINTING

I had a paper jam, now, i only needed to print particular pages (booklet format here) but MS word crashes whenever i attempt to do so. i only need to print the last half of the booklet, please help.
Thanks!

Hi @DYSSE
I know what I am about to ask may sounds strange, but how many pages is your file? Please take a look at the following post I found in the Microsoft Community Forums;
All of the responses are bogus, I tried them all! I HAVE FOUND THE ANSWER! For some stupid reason MS WORD 2010 does not like an ODD NUMBER OF PAGES WHEN PRINTING MANUAL DUPLEX BOOK FOLD DOCUMENTS.
I tried all of the solutions and one day it worked, my document printed!!! I usually only have a 3 page Sunday School Teaching document, front page, and 2 inside pages of a single sheet of paper. I have to print it to a PDF document first to get it to print book fold. This day it was unusally long at 4 pages and it PRINTED WITH NO PROBLEM! I thought a recent MS Update had done the trick. But the next week I again had the printing problem! So I went back to the previous week's document and it printed fine again. Only difference was the number of pages from one week to the next. So I went some of my older documents that had 3 pages, inserted a few carriage returns to make my document 4 pages long and Voila! It works. I thought it would work the same way with 5 pages (bad), 6 pages (good), etc...but that wasn't it. You have to make your document a multiple of 4 pages (booklet page count). So add some carriage returns to your document to make it a multiple of 4, 8, 12,16, 20, etc!
Work around - make your document a multiple of 4 book folded pages.

Manual Duplexing Problems

Ever since I puchased a new computer with Windows 8.1 I don't have the ability to manually duplex. There isn't even a choice to configure manual duplexing. I print a lot of documents and would like to save trees (and money) by duplexing. Can anybody help?

Hey @silkylabie,
Thanks for posting in the HP Support Forum.
I understand you're looking to configure duplexing settings on your HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni Printer. I would like to assist you with this and may have the steps you need to get the job done.
Getting started, I recommend you click here to install the HP Universal Print Driver for Windows PCL5 (64-bit). When you have finished the install, open your Devices and Printers Folder (you can find this in Control Panel) and do the following:
Right-click on the HP Universal Printing PCL 5 icon
Click on Printing Preferences - this will prompt you to connect with your printer. You may need to enter your printer's IP address if it's not automatically detected by your PC.
Once the printer's added, click on the 'Finishing' tab
As you can see in the screenshot below, you can click to activate printing on both sides.
Please let me know if you need any further assistance - I'm always happy to help. If I have resolved your issue feel free to click on the 'Thumbs Up' icon below to give me a virtual high-five.
Have a great weekend!

Officejet Pro K550 won't manually duplex

My Officejet K550 used to manually duplex. Now it prints all pages continuously, even though the "reload paper" window appears on the screen!
I am using Windows Vista Home Premium, the latest version, with all updates.
Thanks, in advance, for any advice.

Hi Linda,
I found some colleagues who had worked on that printer. There are some things to try, however it's not all good news.
The engineer believes the nozzles on the printhead may be clogged for one of 2 reasons. The first is that there is just some ink residue. Here's what he says: "Perhaps you can suggest the customer to try remove the printhead (just the printhead that has the cyan nozzles), and use a wet cloth or cotton swab to clean away the ink residue around the nozzles. Then replace the printhead, and perform the cleaning sequence that the manual says. This procedure might be able to recover some nozzle clog scenarios, but it will use up some ink."
However, it could be that air has gotten into the printhead: ". If the printhead is deprimed, it means air has got into a certain chamber after started up, that can never be purged out, causing ink not able to flow through anymore. For such cases, I think the printhead need to be replaced."
The engineer also talked with customer assurance, who believes this particular product is past its end of life, which means that it's technically older than Hp designed it to function. I know you've only had it 3 years, but wanted you to be aware of that.
