Please help! New PC with Windows 7, now won't give option for duplex Color Laserjet 2605dn

Hi everyone,  I'm hoping someone can help.  I have an HP Color Laserjet 2605dn, and after 4 years with a Dell laptop (and Windows XP) I had to get a new computer, this one with Windows 7.  When I plugged in the printer for the first time, it loaded drivers and seemed to work great - EXCEPT there is NO option for duplex printing in the effects or finishing areas.  So I went to the HP website and downloaded the Universal Print Driver, which DOES have duplex, but it won't print to the 2605dn printer!!!
I am ready to throw this out the window.  I don't recommend buying anything new while you have PMS...hahahaha.  Seriously, if someone could help, my stress level would drop dramatically.  I print a lot, and not doing it duplex would waste so much paper!
Thanks in advance.

Enable the duplexer as described in the Vista / Windows 7 Duplex Troubleshooting Guide as follows:  go to Start, Devices and Printers, right click on the printer, Printer properties, Device settings, Installable Options, set the "Duplex unit for 2-sided printing" to installed, OK.

  • HT2305 I have a new PC with Windows 7. What should I download for my iPhone

    I have a new PC with Windows 7 and an iPhone 3G....Which version of iTunes should I download onto my new pc so I can sync phone with pc....I'm pretty low tech guy...need help....thanks!  Mark New

    Download the latest version of iTunes for Windows in the appropriate version for your OS (32 or 64 bit) for syncing. Download QuickTime for Windows for playback videos in iTunes (it's not included anymore). This stuff you can get on Apple's download pages. For syncing your iPhone contacts with Win 7 you need a version of Outlook.

  • Please Help! Problems with Windows Vista 32-bit on Boot Camp (Wireless/Etc)

    We recently purchased a new aluminum Mac Book (13 inch) with Leopard (10.5.4). I attempted to install Boot Camp and Windows Vista 32-bit. I can successfully alternate between both operating systems with no problems. However, I am having 2 problems:
    1) I cannot connect to wireless internet. No connections will even show up when I attempt to connect, its almost as if an adapter hasn't been installed.
    2) I cannot set up the trackpad to do right click.
    I've read articles everywhere and nothing has helped. Can anybody please help me??? Any support/advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    Welcome to the Apple discussions.
    It appears that you may not have installed the boot camp drivers. Boot into Windows and insert your Leopard installation disk in the CD/DVD drive. This should automatically begin installation of the necessary drivers. Reboot the computer when instructed and all the hardware should work as designed.
    The right click is accomplished by placing two fingers on the trackpad and then depressing the trackpad button. This should also work after the drivers are installed as instructed above.

  • I just got migrated to a new laptop with Windows 7& iTunes won't run.

    When I try to run iTunes I get an error message that my libray was created with a newer version of Itunes. I would like to remove and reinstall Itunes without losing my library.

    Try just downloading and reinstalling iTunes http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

    So you have stuff on your iPod that right now does not also exist on the computer? If so, you need a way to move the stuff off the iPod onto the computer, correct?

  • HT2305 I have a new computer with Windows 8 OS.  Do I need to install drivers so that my Ipod Nano will sync with this new computer:

    My daughter gave me a new Ipod (Nano) for Christmas.  I had no problem download my songs from my old Ipod (Shuffle) to the new one.  However - since I do not buy songs on a regular basis, I did not buy a new song until 4/29/13.  Now for information...sometime in March my old laptop died, completely.  I had to go buy a new one - which I did and this new one has Windows 8 Operating System on it (which I hate, btw). 
    Now, when I bout a song on Tuesday, the song did not go to my new Ipod.   I tried everything and finally had to talk to a tech - who was very kind in helping me and we did get all my songs from Itunes to this new computer.  I thought the song I bought would then go on the Ipod - but it did not.  I had already hung up from the tech - since we had been talking on the phone for about an hour.  He informed me that he was giving me a "courtesy break" because it has been over 90 days since my new Ipod was purchased ---- just my darn luck! 
    Anyway, I have figured out on my own that the new Ipod Nano is not synced with the new laptop with Windows 8.  I have been trying for the last 2 hours to get it to do so and in doing so, found out that Windows 8 is not mentioned in any of the help forums.  So...my question is:  Do I need to install drivers on the computer or what?  I will not be purchasing anymore music from Itunes until I get this matter resolved.  Any help will be apreciated. Thank you.

    Thank you wjsten for your soon reply. Unfortunately on these days I'm in a country that Apple don't have any retail store here and for sake of time I prefer to fix it myself to DHL it to the nearest country to use its warranty. Do you have any idea how can I fix it? Do you think it's a software issue?

    There is a new security feature in iOS 7 called Activation Lock. You need the
    AppleID and passcode used to activate the iPad or it will be useless to you.
    There is no workaround.
    Suggest you try very hard to remember that AppleID and passcode. Did you try the
    AppleId you used to log into this forum?

    If other devices can connect to the network without problems, it means that the router can provide wireless internet. For this situation, an isolation process is needed to be able to find a fix.
    Was the computer tested to connect through Wi-Fi before you bought it?
    Did you do Mac address filter on your router?
    Make sure that the router is using WPA/WPA2 or WPA2 encryption type just like what Chester has recommended. If your router is already set to that security type, you may test by disabling the wireless security of the WI-Fi router. Check if it will connect or not.
    Another thing to check is the properties of your wireless connection. To do that, Go to Network and Sharing center > Click change adapter settings > right click “Wireless” > go to Properties> click Internet protocol IPV4> check the Properties button below > make sure that it’s set to both Obtain IP automatically and Obtain DNS server automatically.

  • I transferred all my Itunes music from an old PC to my new one with Windows 7.  Now I cannot edit "artist" or anything else for the songs.  It is all greyed out and I cannot enter information. Is there any way to correct this problem?

    I transferred all of my music from an older PC to my new one with Windows 7.  Now I cannot edit selected songs.  The information is greyed out and I can't type over it (on all my music except NEW downloads).  Can anyone help?  I even have a few songs with NO artist tag and I can't write anything in them either.

    It's a permissions problem. Try this: right click on your iTunes icon and choose "run as administrator" that might fix it.
