Printer Automatic Duplex Unit uninstalled every night

I would love to be able to print double-sided all the time. I have set up the printer properties so that on "Device Settings", the Automatic Duplex Unit is "Installed". When I go to sleep at night, the magic automatic-duplex-unit goblins change it to "Not installed". It does not matter if I shut my laptop down, put it into sleep mode, or just close the lid.
How do I get the setting to stay "Installed"?

I've no idea whether or not this might apply to your OfficeJet Pro 8600 printer; you can configure some printer drivers to disable 'automatic configuration', as per this example:

HP7310 all-in-one if automatic duplex option chosen every other page prints upside down, Fix?

Whenever automatic duplex printing is selected the printer prints the first page correctly then sucks the page bak into the printer bu it prints the reverse side with the second page upside down. How do I fix this?

What operating system? If Vista (or Windows 7 upgraded from Vista) then apply the patch available from a link here. For other operating systems see the Duplex Printing Guide here.

CP2025dn printer, automatic duplex printing

Recently, after a couple of updates, the CP2025dn printer only allows manual duplex printing. Operating system is Windows 7. Where do I get a driver supporting duplex printing or what do I need to do to turn on 'automatic' duplexing?
HP is starting to get under my hide!

Probbably because the M451nw model does not have a duplex unit - you'd need the M451dn or M451dw model for automatic duplexing. The best that can be done with the M451nw is manual duplexing (where odd sides are printed first, then the driver instructs you to take the printed pages and place them back in the input tray, then prints the even pages - or perhaps evens, then odds? ), provided that the driver in use supports this.

Hi Ramesh,
You can use SM36 and use the "Job Wizard" to define a background job in simple step by step procedure
Or
Goto SM37 and specify a job name.
Next specify the ABAP Program Name of the report you want to execute under Job Step.
Then click on "Extended Job Selection" and goto the Period Tab.
There select "Only Periodic Jobs" and then specify the frequency of execution based on Months, Weeks, Days, Hours or Minutes.

Printing in duplex

When printing a word doc. there is a settings button where you can choose to print in duplex (both sides). This option is not available when I print a pdf doc. This has happened after I reinstalled the printer. What happened?(duplex printing did function before I did the reinstall)

The duplexer may default to "not installed" with the new installation. Try the following: click Start, Devices and Printers, right click on the Officejet Pro 8600, Printer Properties, Device Settings, set the automatic duplex unit to "Installed", Apply, OK.

Printer driver forgets duplex unit

Hi,
I have a problem with two sides printing: OS X keeps forgetting that a duplex unit is installed. Every time I want to use it I have to go to System Preferences -> Print&Scan->Options & Supplies -> Driver and mark it as available. In the next print job I have to do it again.
This occurs since the printer driver update before last one.
Specs: OS X Lion, HP Officejet Pro K550 attached with USB to an Airport Extreme.
Any suggestions, please?

Automatic Duplex Printing not working on HP Color LaserJet 3600DN in Windows 7. It worked before.

I have an HP color laserjet 3600 DN on Windows 7. This computer came w/ Windows Vista and a 3600DN driver was installed and the computer was upgraded to Windows 7. The printer did automatic duplex printing.
At one point, my computer indicated that it could no longer find the printer. In an effort to solve this problem, I uninstalled the printer. When I tried to reinstall the printer the computer could not find the driver. At that point I tried to download a windows 7 CLJ 3600 DN driver. Since HP doesn't provide this driver for Windows 7, I tried to download the Windows Vista driver for 3600DN.
However, when I go to the appropriate webpage by following the links, only drivers for Color Laserjet 3600 are listed (no 3600DN drivers).
As far we can tell it only allows Manual Duplex printing (no automatic duplex printing). Clicking the "Two Sided Duplex Printing" option is there but only works when the "print on both sides (Manual)" is set on the Finishing page. If manual is turned off, then it becomes single sided.
Can I get a driver that will allow me to do automatic duplex printing on on my HP CLJ 3600 DN using Windows 7?

How did you replave the duplex belt? How to deassemble the backside of a officejet and click the new belt on? I can't see nor do it y self

HP C7250 won't duplex print automatically

I have 8.1 operating system and since upgrading the only options that my Device settings offer under duplex printing is to either have Allow Manual Duplex Printing set to either off or on. There is no option to allow automatic duplex printing. How can I fix this>

The Device Settingss tab does not give me the option of Installing or uninstalling. It only gives me the option to enable or disable Manual Duplex Printing under Installable Options. My other computer gave me the option of installing automatic duplex printing so I tried this first, but as frustrating as it is, there is no option to install automatic. I don't know if it has anything to do with windows 8 or 8.1

The printer with automatic duplex A5

I am looking for a monochrome laser printer A4, with automatic duplex and network.
Additionally, the printer must be able to auto-duplex printing on A5.
Monthly print up to 5,000 pages.

Thanks. It worked! It sure seems like a complicated way to go about duplexing that takes only one step with every other source but Word, though, doesn't it? Anyway, that's not your problem and you solved mine. Much appreciated.

HP LaserJet 600 M602 printer goes offline every night

Hi,
I have a HP LaserJet 600 M602 CE991A printer on a wired network. I have quite a few other printers on the network as well and do not show me this kind of behavior.
But for some reason, this printer, from as soon as I bought it, goes offline every time from around 5.20-5.30pm to around 8.30pm. I have a ping tester running as I am trying to figure out what's going on and I got 100% drop every night for that time period.
I looked to see if there was a setting that puts this device to sleep or so but no, I cant find anything. I have tried with the energy setting sleep mode on or off, wake up events to trigger a wake up call to the printer but no luck.
Firmware Bundle Version3.2.5
Firmware Revision2302908_435019
Firmware Date Code20140529
I am out of options, in our other locations, we have sam printer but a CE993A models and they do not show this kind of behavior at all.
I am at a deadlock here.

Hi @Halan ,
I see by your post that you aren't able to print when the laptop isn't in the same area as the printer. I would like to help you out today.
What is the distance of the printer and the Laptop when the printer goes offline?
Try these steps to see if it will resolve the issue.

HP LaserJet Pro 100 functioned printer M175nw cleaning every night

I have a
HP LaserJet Pro 100 multifunctionele kleurenprinter M175nw. Runs fine in a wireless network.
The printer is used some times but also a week not at all. After 15 min the printer goes into sleep mode and after two hours or so the device switches off except the green standby light for receiving new wireless jobs.
Problem i have is that nearby every night the printer runs with a lot of noise, in the middle of the night. It looks like he is cleaning the drums or turning the cartridges or the drum. It SOUNDS like he is prepairing for printing but there is no job at all. After a few minutes the device stops and goes back to sleep. I am doiing it also than.
Is this a service property of this machine and can i switch it off? It takes energy and wakes me up!

Hi @jeroegro,
I see that the printer is going into a cleaning mode in the evening and you would like to be able to turn this service off.
I can help you today.
I couldn't find any settings through the printers control panel to turn this service off.
Either turn the printer off manually or you can set the printer to power off after so many hours, through the menus.
Go to Setup, System Setup menu, (wrench button) Energy Settings, Auto Power Down, set the time.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

My iMac is networked to a brother printer with automatic duplexing capability. It will double-side documents from all sources except from Word. I can't find anywhere in Word to change the settings. Any advice?

My iMac is networked to a Brother Printer that is capable of duplex printing. I can print duplexed documents from every source so far except Word. Nothing in the pre-print dialogue boxes gives me the choice to double side. In the same place that I am given the choice to double-side when printing from other sources, Word only offers 'collated'. Any advice?

Thanks. It worked! It sure seems like a complicated way to go about duplexing that takes only one step with every other source but Word, though, doesn't it? Anyway, that's not your problem and you solved mine. Much appreciated.

How do I set up automatic duplex printing for my HP Laserjet Pro400 M401n series from my PC using windows 8?

Thanks for your reply.
Looks like I didn't do enough research as the HP site said it's available however upon further investigation only manual duplexing is available with drivers installed.

Automatic duplex printing with DeskJet 6980dt with Windows 7, MS Office 2010

What do I need to do in order for my DeskJet 6980dt to automatically duplex print without manually inserting the paper? Prior to changing my OS from XP to W-7 the printer would duplex print when I changed the "properties" but since installing W-7 "properties" does not provide me with that option.

We have found that Microsoft Mail does not work with Windows 7 and MS Office 2010 combination.
When you try to configure it given error 0x8004110.
Windows 7 is a supported operation system for Office 2010. At what exactly point will you get the specific error?
Is that a Click-To-Run version of Office 2010? By default, for MSI-based version of Office, when you upgrade existing Office 2007 to Office 2010, the earlier version of Office will be removed:
