New printer prints but can't add duplex feature

Hi,
I have a new hp LaserJet P2055dn. After fiddling around with the preference pane I was finally able to get it to print, for some unknown reason that seems to have nothing to do with the printer driver which is located somewhere unfathomable, to me.
Anyway thereare some very understandable and clear instructions which come with the driver software but have no bearing on the panels that I find when I click on print in the preferences.
Any help would be appreciated, I'm attempting to add duplex functionality with no success,
Garrett
Here's the instructions which I cannot even begin to find in the print preference pane:
To set up a printer queue for your HP LaserJet printer:
Mac OS X:
1. Open Print Center / Printer Setup Utility.
2. Choose "Add Printer" from the Printers Menu.
3. Choose a connection type (e.g. Bonjour, AppleTalk).
4. Select the printer from the printer list.
5. Verify that correct HP Printer Model is selected.
6. Click Add to create Printer queue.
IMPORTANT – if your printer has installable options (e.g. duplex, extra paper trays, internal hard drive) you must follow these steps in order to enable these options from the print driver.
1. Select your printer queue in Print Center / Printer Setup Utility.
2. Click on Show Info.
3. Click on the pop-up menu and select Installable Options.
4. Select the control setting that correspond to the options in your printer.
5. After checking and closing this window, these options will now be available from the print dialogs.

I cannot say why it wouldn't do it before, I eraced and started over and am able to duplex.

  • New Printer but can't eprint because of snapfish

    Hello, I have a similar problem to others here. Purchased a new printer today been trying to set it up for hours.  I cannot log into eprint because of an old snapfish account. I have tried two email addresses but have the same problem each time. I have gone to Snapfish to try  log in and change passwords etc but it tells me I cannot do that and gives me another link to go to. When I click on that link I end up on Virgin Media's web page ???? what's that all about?  I need to cancel the snapfish accounts so that I can start again. Please help.
    Thanks

    Your best bet will probably be to use snapfish chat support and request to have the account deleted there. If for some reason they mention there is no account on file you can actually create a snapfish account with that email, and then log in with the same information on eprintcenter.com once you are done.
    Link to the snapfish contact page: http://support.snapfish.com/app/answers/detail/a_i​d/669/~/contacting-customer-support

  • Can I update my OS if I have 10.4.11 (ibook G4 PPC). I need a new printer, but there aren't any that will work with my current OS

    I have an iBook G4 PPC. I need a new printer, but my OS isn't supported by any...Can I update to a newer version?

    Hello, there are printers available, especially ones that use Postscript, is it Laser or Inkjet you're looking for?
    Highest you can go is 10.5.8
    Leopard requirements/10.5.x...
        *  Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
    minimum system requirements
        * 512MB of memory (I say 1.5GB for PPC at least, 2-3GB minimum for IntelMacs)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * 9GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    Classic/OS9 Apps no longer supported.
    May be available from Apple again...
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4720126?tstart=0
    Trouble is Apple no longer sells it, check eBay & such for the Retail version, not the Gray Discs...
    http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=mac+os+x+leopard+retail+10.5
    There are workarounds if the 867MHz CPU is the only hangup...

  • Why does the software update say that drivers for my printers are not available? I have the drivers installed from the CD but can't add the printer because it wants to go through software update.

    It's pretty difficult to offer suggestions when you say nothing about your Mac, the version of Mac OS it's running, or the models of printers you have. This forum, however, is intended for questions about old, pre-G3 hardware, so unless you are asking about an very old Mac, this is not the forum where you'll be most likely to get help with your problem. I'd suggest you ask this question in the forum for your model of Mac or version of Mac OS X it's running. You'll be more likely to get assistance there, assuming you provide sufficient detail for anyone to make a diagnosis of the problem.
    Regards.

    Have you downloaded the approriate Snow Leopard drivers for that printer? Make sure you get the appropriate and latest MP Navigator, as you start scans from the computer, not the all-in-one.  Get them from http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/pixma_mp_s eries/pixma_mp830#DriversAndSoftware

  • I have an old MAC using OS 10.5 (does not have Intel processor). I need a new printer, but i cannot find one that will work with such an old operating system. Is there a new printer that will work with this old system?

    I have an old IMAC using 10.5, and it cannot use any newer operating system. I need a new printer, but I cannot find one that is compatible with this old system.
    Is there a new printer out there that will work with 10.5?

  • I've got a new Apple ID but can not change anything on my phone, my old Apple ID is connected to icloud but is not letting me delete it without a password! But I do not know this password what can I do?

    I've got a new Apple ID but can not change anything on my phone, my old Apple ID is connected to icloud but is not letting me delete it without a password! But I do not know this password what can I do?

    If the old ID is an earlier version of your new ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your new iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  You can now use your new password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
    Note: this will not work if your new ID is an entirely new ID that was never previously associated with the old email address.

    My iphone is registered to my old macbook.  How do I link it to my new computer?  I can't add any new music to it.

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, and your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • I created a new Apple ID, but can't access iTunes

    I created a new Apple ID, but can't access iTunes, it doesn't recognize my ID

    Creating a new Apple ID isn't the way to fix that problem. All that will do is create a new Apple ID with no record of your previous purchase history or anything else related to iCloud.

  • I created new apple id but can't sign in to itunes. It says that your id is not yet loged in so you have to review. In revies it shows payment method in which I provide full info of my visa card but it shows that the pin is incorrect

    Hi there,
         I created new apple id but can't sign in to itunes. It says that your id is not yet loged in so you have to review. In revies it shows payment method in which I provide full info of my visa card but it shows that the pin is incorrect although the pin is correct. If I try another card no then it shows that your payment method is declined. What should I do?????

    Is it asking for a PIN (for a debit card) or the three-digit number on the back of the card (for a credit card)?

  • TS2446 What do you do if you get a new apple device but can't remember the security questions?

    What do you do if you get a new apple device but can't remember the security questions?

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.
