Photosmart B9180 Duplex Printing - Can you do it?

I know duplex printing is not 'supported' but can you do it anyway manually? What harm would there be? Have you tried it?

Hello, Support, in this context, means the product driver doesn't have the capability of manual duplex printing. In order for this product to print 13" x 19" media, this product has to push the media out the back of the printer, hence no room for a duplexer. Many of the our other HP consumer and commercial printers do support this feature. Would it hurt the b9180 to print duplexed? No, I just don't know of any easy way to do it. I suppose you could do it by printing one page at a time. Meaning, if you had a 2 page document you would have to send two separate print jobs and rotate and flip the 1st printed page before you sent the second job.
I'm curious, do you have a different idea on how to accomplish this task? If you do, I would be happy to test it out as I have a b9180 set-up here at my desk.

My HP Photosmart C309a series printer can't find the wireless router 3 feet above it.

My HP Photosmart C309a series printer can't find the wireless router 3 feet above it. I ran the diagnostics and got "The wireless radio is not functioning" message. In what device is the wireless radio located? In the router? In the printer? I reset the router, did the #6 with the printer, but I am still unable to connect my wireless Macbook to the printer. My desktop Mac is connected to the printer with a cable and prints fine. Is my router messed up or my printer?
This question was solved.

Just call HP, they can walk you through the options based on what is wrong with your printer.

Photosmart 7160 Duplex Printing Out of Paper Side 2 Intermittent Windows 7 USB

The printer works fine on XP but 75 percent of the time it fails on Windows 7. I have a removable drive so I can switch back and forth between XP and Windows 7. Symptom: Let's say I want to print 10 documents. Each document is 1 1/2 pages long. I command it to print 10, duplex, fast draft, copies. Usually the first document will print double sided. The second document will fail to reverse the paper after printing the first side. The paper will continue forward to the end of the output tray. Since the paper did not reverse and go into the flip over device, I now get and Out of Paper error and must manually hit the OK button on the printer. It then feeds the next (!) sheet of paper from the input tray. So it takes me 10 minutes to print the 10 documents with only 2 or 3 of them actually being double sided. It would normally take less than 2 minutes for 10 duplex sheets at draft quality. When I boot from my XP drive everything works fine. It seems like the motor that reverses the paper never actually goes into reverse. I have removed the flip over device and cleaned everything in sight including the contacts. There are about 30 drivers listed in Properties. The first one says HPD7100T.GPD 6.10.2009 .

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

but no help with that

3600 Printer - Can you print to tray 2 with items loaded in tray 1?

We are wanting to leave envelopes loaded in tray 1, and still be able to print from tray 2. Does anyone know how to direct the printer on which tray to print from when you send a print job? Or can we set the default to tray 2 and indicate a manual print to tray 1 when ready to print an envelope?
Thanks.

Hi @kceacct ,
I see that you would like to know how to print out the checks in order. I will do my best to help you.
The ADF can be used for copying, scanning and faxing.
From the print driver you can only select the tray that you want to print from.
Changing Print Settings in Windows 8.
You would have to load the checks in order from top to bottom in the paper tray, since the printer just pulls the paper in from the top of the stack of paper.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

I have a Photosmart 5514 printer that won't update e-print, can you help?

I don't need a proxy, just need a connection to my server to get going to my wireless.

I understand you are getting unable to connect to server error message on your printer. I would first unplug router and printer for about 1 minute. I would plug router up first then printer. I would then try to enable web services. If not successful and you get same error message. I would follow these steps.
1. Obtain your printer's IP address
a. This can be done by pressing the wireless icon on printer.
2. Enter the printer's IP address in a browser.
3. Select the network tab at the top of the page.
4. On the left select networking.
5. Select Network Address (IP)
6. Select Manual DNS Server
a. Manual Preferred DNS should read 8.8.8.8
b. Alternate DNS Server should read. 8.8.4.4
7. Select apply you might get a warning just select okay.
8. Try to enable web services.
Let me know how it goes.

Printing issues with color mgmt on a HP 7180 photosmart printer - Can you help?

I've been have an ongoing issue with my Adobe Elements 6.0 and printing my pictures off a HP7180. The colors don't match what I see on the monitor as well what's on my camera. I can send the pictures to KodakEasyshare online and the pictures come back with the same colors as to what I see within my application and monitor. I've run test pages off my printer and everything is good. Help me, PLEASE.

I've tried printing from both the catalog and the editor screen and I've fooled around with the color mgmt. The printing is still off. The colors are vibrant from what I can see and when it prints it's not as sharp and the colors tend to be dull or maybe leaning towards more green/blue sometimes even more reddish - orange. I've taken the liberty and reseted the printer to factory defaults on the hardware and on the pc...It's till giving me this problem. What's amazing is I can print from Kodakgallery software, photoalbum 3.2 from adobe and the colors are some what true to color. I can't get it to print right with elements.

HP Photosmart B9180 not printing black

i am not getting black ink on any of my prints
i used the printer the other day and it was fine
the black ink cart is at about 88%
i did get a message about ink carts that had expired but ignored it as i always do so i am not sure if this is the cause of this problem
is this a failure of the ink cart and if so is there a manual fix or do i have to buy a new one

Hi @shiftee,
I understand your black ink is not working. I suggest using the following document to troubleshoot the issue: HP Photosmart Pro B9180 and B9180gp Photo Printers - Color Blocks on the Test Page are Streaked or M....
If the issue persists, you might consider replacing the black cartridge. Keep in mind, the root cause may not be the cartridge, it could be the printer, you may even consider calling us. We may be able to offer you a discount on a newer printer model, or discuss available out of warranty options.
If you are in Canada or US call 800 474 6836, or you can Contact HP Worldwide.
Best of luck!

2014 Photosmart b210 networked printer can't scan

You might want to switch this over to a different forum .... doesn't have anything to do with laptop or notebook. .. sorry.
I have a Photosmart Plus All in One Printer Scanner. The printer is wired to my computer using USB and OS is Windows 7. Recently, my husband got a new computer with Windows 8.1 on it. I've managed to get the printer networked with his computer to print, but it doesn't scan. Windows Fax and Scanner doesn't work. The Scan app in HP programs doesn't work either. Just doesn't find a scanner.
I've tried sticking a shortcut of hpscan.exe on his desktop,but that didn't work either. I've tried all the HP help programs and they can't find a scanning device either.
It would just be nice to be able to scan something from his computer.
I tried to connect the printer through wifi, but it never found the printer or the printer never found his wifi connection. Found everyone elses in the neighborhood, but not his. So I turned it off.
It's networked with wired through our D-Link routher.
Has there ever been a working fix for all in one printers AND scanners?

Hi ElWel,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read your thread on your HP Photosmart Plus e-All-in-One Printer - B210a not scanning to Windows 8.1 computer. I would try to first install the drivers and software. Here is a link to the software.
If that does not resolve the scanning try the HP Print and Scan Doctor.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

OS 10.3 with HP Photosmart 4700 series printer - can't get drivers

Greetings!
I'm trying to get an HP 4750C wireless printer to work with my older Pismo G3 mac, it's running 10.3.9 and won't be running anything higher. (I've set it up for my wife for internet and mail...) I just purchased this HP printer as our older OfficeJet decided to retire. I don't care if it runs wireless or not on her computer.
The installer with HP's printer software is not compatible with OS' earlier than 10.4. I've gotten the packages transferred to another disk, and have installed all components that should matter (I'm not trying to set up scaning, etc.), but still get a "driver not found" error. I did have trouble getting the HPIO Trap Monitor component to install, but think I've gotten past that.
Any ideas? I don't want her to have to e-mail me EVERYTHING that she wants to print... if you know what I mean...

That's a difficult position to be in, since driver support in newer
hardware not available through the manufacturer is troublesome.
{You may end up shopping for a new old-stock printer with the CD
drivers in the box, of a vintage comparable with the Panther 10.3
era; and run with that... and find newer drivers should you wish to
run the newer computer's printing through that vintage printer.}
Have you tried other printer drivers, such as those from GimpPrint
to see if a similar printer's driver from a different vintage model
would work in this situation? Sometimes an unintended one will.
For printers that are not listed as supported you may still be able
to print by trying the driver for a printer that is similar to yours,
but the results may disappoint you.
• GimpPrint (Gutenprint) for Mac OS X:
http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php
There may be a way to use a computer as a printer-server kind of
connection, so the second computer has to see the one that can
use the printer, and (for the most part) may involve some sharing
setup to be employed where the settings would have to be changed
to support the two computers working together, at least to share a
printer. Not sure if that'd work.
The basic File Sharing could save having to email items between
computers, if they are on or could share a local network. Be sure
to only open it as little as necessary to have the sharing work but
not so far as to invite outside access to either computers or files.
Ownership of files may be a minor inconvenience to figure out.
Sorry I don't have a more definitive answer at this point; but I am
almost certain someone reading your post may have more evolved
ideas on making whatever you have work, in some way or another.
Good luck & happy computing!

Can the Canon Pixma ix 6520 support manual duplex printing?

I know that this printer doesn't support duplex printing but I was wondering how would I double side print manually with the canon pixma ix6520?
Thanks!

Hello thekay94.
Manual duplex printing can be done by printing on one side at a time.
If you are printing from a Windows computer, please select the Duplex printing option in the Page Setup tab of the Printing Preferences menu. If you are printing from a Mac, please use the options in the Layout menu to print the odd pages first, then load the stack back in the printer with the blank side facing you to print on the even numbered pages.
If immediate assistance is needed, feel free to call us at 1-800-OKCANON.

Can you print more than one photo on a sngle page in iPhoto, as you can in Picasa?

iPhoto printing--
Can you print more than one photo on a single page in iPhoto, as you can in Picasa? Terrible waste of paper and time to do it one at a time! I 've been away from Macs for several years ( I know, shame on me) but I thought I remembered more printing flexibility. Help, anyone?

Yes - select the photos and print - select the print size and paper size (be sure they will fit with some small borders) and click customize - in settings select multiple photos per page (the preview will reflect this selection) and print

Can't get duplex printing to work

I have a HP Color LaserJet 4650 which is a duplex unit. Before 10.5 I would print regularly selecting in the Layout "Two-Sided" and it would work fine. Now, in 10.5 it seems that no matter what I try it will not print on both sides... help? or is this some bug that needs to be sorted out?
David

This is still broken in 10.5.1. I found a trick that works for my printer... using the CUPS (Common UNIX Printing System) configuration system as a workaround.
Go to http://localhost:631/ in your web browser.
Then click "manage printer".
Click "set printer options" on the printer with problems.
Scroll down to "duplex" under finishing and change the option here to "Long edge".
Duplex print, although you lose the option to single print it seems without going through this process.
If it works for your printer post it here.

Can u print without AirPrint printer if you have a wireless printer?

Can u print without AirPrint printer if you have a wireless printer? I have a fairly new canon printer, MP495 series all in one, and was wondering if there is anyway to print wirelessly to it or if I have to buy another printer that is airprint compatible? I also have an iPhone 4s & would like tone able to print wirelessly from it also. If I need to get a new printer can you please let me know the best options available.
Thank you for your help,

Check the App Store to see if the printer manufacture offers an app to allow you to print to that printer. If you have a Mac, you might also look at Printopia.

Duplex printing on Canon MG6150

Hey everyone,
I recently bought a Canon Pixma MG6150 printer which comes with automatic duplex printing. I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
I want to use it in InDesign to create a booklet however, whenever I go into Print Settings>Printer>Duplex Printing & Margin everything is greyed out.
I've tried all the drivers I can find on the Canon website and the CD that came with the printer. I've heard about using older drivers, does this mean to download older OS drivers (I tried 10.5 and my Mac said it was not possible to install) or older drivers from Canon?
Any ideas? Thanks!

I fixed the problem, however I've seen a lot of questions about the Canon duplex printing issues with some Mac users so I thought I'd put my solution up to help anyone else.
Going through the On-Screen Manual that comes with the CD I found out that:
When a media type other than Plain Paper, Hagaki A or Hagaki is selected from Media Type menu of Quality & Media, Automatic Duplex Printing appears grayed out and is unavailable.
When Borderless Printing is set, Automatic Duplex Printing appears grayed out and is unavailable.
Automatic Duplex Printing can be performed only when one of the following paper sizes is selected from Paper Size.US Letter, A5, A4, B5 JIS (JB5), Hagaki
After printing the front page, there is an ink drying wait time before starting to print the back page (Operation stops temporarily). Do not touch the paper during the time. You can change the ink drying wait time from Custom Settings in the Canon IJ Printer Utility.
After going through the printing settings and following these regulations, Duplex Printing was no longer grey!

Hp photosmart 2610xi how can you tell if it has the "optional duplex feature" on board?

I need to know if the HP photosmart 2610xi printer has an optional duplex print feature on board. the user guide I can not find support for the feature. Note the mfg. specifications states it is an Optional feature for the printer. Thanks in advance for your help in this question.
manmike

Hi,
Normally you can check using printer properties when print or you can check to see if it had a duplexer and you can also check using its specs:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00216793&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&cc=us&dlc=en...
No, it does not have this optional.
