Office Jet 8000 -- Duplex Printing -- back side upside down

When printing a booklet on my Office Jet 8000 A809, using duplex printing, the back side of each page is upside down. Operating System is Windows Vista. I'm sure there is a simple solution, but I can't find it. HELP.

Choose the type of duplex - you probably have Short-edge binding enabled. Change it to Long-edge binding.

Duplex printing second side upside down

I believe there is something in my InDesign file that is causing a few of my files to print the second side upside down. My files are vertical (portrait) layout/setting with the two sided option on long-edge binding. I don't think it is the printer because only a few files have this problem, and I just got a new printer and the same files are still printing the second side upside down.

Office jet 5740 duplex printing

I have just purchased an office jet 5740 and was told that it has an automatic duplex ADF. I want to copy a 20 page double sided document and I want it to come out as a 20 page double sided document (2:2). I cannot work out how to do this? My existing copying options are :- 2 sided and 1:2. HP are telling me that this printer DOES do automatic duplexing but how?

Hi,
The printer offer Automatic Duplex Printing, it does not provide automatic ADF duplexing capabilities (copying a two-sided original).
You may find the printer speicifcations below:
http://store.hp.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/us/en/hp-officejet-5740-e-all-in-one-printer?jumpid=oc...
You may copy multiple pages, the output will be printed of both sides of the paper.
That can be done by selecting 1-Sided Original : 2-Sided Copy

Problem with duplex printing - alternate pages upside down

I have been trying to print 2 per side, double sided from Adobe Reader. I have tried this as two up, duplex and also as booklet printing. Whatever I do, the second side is upside down. "Flip on long/short edge" appears to make no difference.
Trying to resolve it in the printer properties is worse: Adobe Reader seems to override them and I get single sheets single sided. If I select both "two sided" in the Reader dialog and "Duplex" in the printer dialog, the second side overprints the first side (but is the right way up!.
I am using Reader 10.1.2 with Windows 7 and an HP Deskjet 6980 printer with duplex unit using the Windows 7 default drivers. I have installed the "AdobeReaderPatch10.1.2_cpsid_92870.zip".
There must be a combination of settings which works! Can anybody help? Please?

TThat is my problem also. You are flipping to the long side, you need to flip to the short side. I order to get the back one to be right side up. I was able to get windows 8 to do that today without doing anything beside selecting landscape and flip to short side. But when I use my iPad I donot have that selection. I need software to be able to have that option.

Duplex Printing - Page 2 upside down

I can duplex print, but the even number pages (second side printed) are upside down. Also, my properties tab options do not match the manual's description, so I'm not sure if I'm setting it up properly

Hi shell75,
I would like to help you with this issue of page 2 printing upside down. Make sure that your Firmware is up to date.
Then follow these steps in the User Guide on duplex printing.
Print on both sides (duplexing)
You can print on both sides of a sheet of media automatically by using the HP
Automatic Two-sided Printing Accessory (duplexer).
NOTE: Two-sided printing requires an HP Automatic Two-sided Printing
Accessory (duplexer) to be installed on the printer.
TIP: You can perform manual duplexing by first printing only the odd pages,
flipping the pages over, and then printing only the even pages.
Perform two-sided printing (Windows)
1. Load the appropriate media. For more information, see Guidelines for printing on
both sides of a page and Load media.
2. Make sure the duplexer is installed correctly. For more information, see Install the
duplexer.
3. With a document open, click Print on the File menu, and then under the Print on
Both Sides options on the Layout tab, select either Flip on Long Edge or Flip on
Short Edge.
4. Change any other settings, and then click OK.
5. Print your document.
Depending on which flip you choose will determine how it prints on page 2.
Let me know how it goes or if you need any further help.
Thank you,
I worked on behalf of HP.

How do I get an Office Jet 6500A to print on Card stock?

How do I get an Office Jet 6500A to print on card stock. It pushes the card stock through the printer but will not print and tells me I have not selected the right print media. There is no selection for card stock. I have tried every selection. I assume there are other media definitions that can be downloaded but they certainly are not apparent. I have been doing this job on all my other HP printers for years. Suddenly this printer balks.

Hi,
Page #22 of the manual says (must be the same as photo paper ?):
To load cards and photo paper
1. Lift the output tray.
2. Slide the paper width guide out as far as possible.
3. Insert the media print-side down along the right of the main tray. Make sure the media aligns with the right and back edges of the tray and does not exceed the line marking in the tray. If the photo paper has a tab along one edge, make sure the tab is pointing towards the front of the printer.
4. Slide the media guides in the tray to adjust them for the media size that you have loaded.
5. Lower the output tray.
6. Pull out the tray extender.
And the manual is : h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02519721.pdf
Regards.

How to rollback driver for Office Jet 6500 APlus Printer

I recently updated the driver for my Office Jet 6500 APlus printer and do not find it to be useful or efficient for my purposes. The printer is connected wirelessly to a Dell Inspiron 1720 laptop PC running Windows 7 Home Premium. Can anyone tell me how to roll back the printer's driver to the one previously installed which is the one that came with the printer when it was purchased about 4 or 5 years ago.

Hello oldhand,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having some printing issues since you have updated the driver.
I have a few steps that I think will help us.
First off, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
I am also going to give you detailed instructions for Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Once the printers software and drivers have been removed, please click on the following link for the HP Officejet Full Feature Software and Driver.
Please fee free to write me back if you have any other questions.

Dissatisfied with HP Office jet 6700 Premium Printer

I've had a HP Office Jet 6700 Premium Printer for 18 months and have encountered a failed printer head issue which essentially requires full replacement of the printer. I've seen many other similar reports by others which clearly indicates this printer has a serious problem with the printer heads. I'm getting ready to replace this printer, which is just 6 months out of warranty, and will seek another vendor to provide printing equipment. Very disappointed in HP's printer product and will gladly provide input to help others avoid running into this problem.

Please read this post then provide some details. What operating system? What are the error messages on the printer or computer screen?

Duplex Printing, front on back and upside down...

Dear Bob,
I have a problem with a LaserJet CM2320 MFP fxi, running Windows XP SP3.
When printing a single page it is ok.
When printing a (word)-file with e.g. 4 pages, the first page is printed on the backside and the second page on the front, and both are also upside down... Putting the paper the other way around in the printer doesn't solve the problem, because the single-page-print will be messed-up...
Thanks in advance for your help!
Kind regards,
Titus

Maxify MB5320 How do I make a duplex document flippable ( reverse side upside down)

I have a 40 page docuiment, in landscape mode, that I duplex. The doc. will be placed in a binder and when the reader reads it he/she will flip the pages top to bottom. I wish to print the reverse side of each page upside-down so the reader will not have to continually turn the binder over. How?

Inovich, because you've already set up your pages to be "two-up" on a landscape page from within FM, in my experience it's highly unlikely that any of the imposition software will be able to process the job, because for all intents and purposes that is just a single landscape page -- not two pages.
The only way I know that you'll be able to have any sort of correct imposition from software is to redo your file as a single page, in other words where only a single page number appears on each individual page.
The best way to do this is to
make a backup of your current doc, of course
create a brand new FM document, using 8.5x11 pages. This is a single page only. Don't worry about the actual physical page size being bigger than your eventual target of half of a landscape page, because Acrobat or the imposition software can handle that later. Set your document to be double-sided. Set the master page text frames and headers/footers to the correct sizes. SAVE this file as a different filename (e.g. BlankTemplate.fm).
Copy the BlankTemplate.fm to another new filename (e.g. Working.fm)
Open your original FM document. In Working.fm do File > Copy > Formats and bring in all of the formats EXCEPT the page layouts. Save this file as your new version.
In your new version, leave the pagination as it is, from first page to last page. The imposition software working on the PDF file will "slice and dice" these pages to rearrange them according to the requirements for duplex printing on a different sheet size (landscape).
When you make your PDF you may see differences in how the page size appears, or whether the page appears trimmed down to be 7 x 8.5, depending on what versions of FM and Acrobat you're using and on what options you have in your Distiller setup. The printing company will usually be able to adjust these.

HP Office Jet 6000 E609n Printer, Cannot reset network settings.

Hello,
I was setting up a static IP address for the HP Office Jet 6000, upon attempting to set it up. I forgot to set the default gateway to match the IP address. Now that it is set that way I cannot access the GUI for the printer. I have tried doing the reset by holding down the wireless button and pressing resume three times. I have literally unplugged it from the back and from the wall and that did not resolve the issue. Also, unplugged it and waited 30 more seconds plugged it back in and did the button reset a swell. Noone of these resolved anything I am stuck and cannot even access the controls to change the router. Help will be very much appreciated.

You may try and do the network defaults and the factory defaults on the printer and that should reset the ip address for you. I'll try and see if i can get the combination for you for this printer. Let me know if this works or if you are still not able to get into your settings.
If I helped you at all it would be great if you clicked the blue kudos star!

Print back side of page

Hi all,
I have to print hardcode text on back side of each page of invoice.
how to do this?
i have two pages , one is for invoice print and other have hardcode text.
thanks

Hi ,
If it is a Script,
Select the Page and in the "Print Attributes" tab which appears at the bottom of the screen,U can select the Print mode as either 'S' for simple,'D' for Duplex etc.
and if it is Smartform,
select the Page and in the "output options" tab, you will find the Print mode where you can give the same options.
Thanks.
