  • HP Laserjet p2015d auto duplex printing with Windows 7 64 bit operating system

    I have used the HP Laserjet p2015d with Windows 7 32 bit operating system and have been able to use the AUTOMATIC DUPLEX feature of the printer without problems.
    Now, however, I have installed the 64 bit version of Windows 7 operating system and the AUTO DUPLEX does not work and is not shown as being available on the PROPERTIES menu of the printer.
    Is it possible to use the AUTO DUPLEX  feature of  the printer with Windows 7   64 bit  operating system.
    All replies welcomed!   Aaron in Calif.

    Hi Aaron,
    Make sure the Automatic Duplexing option is enabled:
    Enter Control Panel > Devices and Printers.
    Right click the printer icon, then click Printer Properties.
    Click the Device Settings tab.
    Set the Automatic Two-Sided Duplex Accessory as installed and click OK to save the change.
    Now Automatic Duplexing should become available.

  • Why won't my printer print with Windows 8?

    Why won’t my printer print with Windows 8?
    Have you just upgraded, or purchased a new computer with Windows 8, and now you can’t get your printer to work?  If so, this may help you.  A lot of people have questions about installing their printer on a new OS.  This will help you answer those questions and make sure that you get everything installed. 
    Before You Start
    Before you try to install the printer on a Windows 8 computer, you should check to make sure the printer is compatible with the new OS.  The link below will give you a list of the printers that will work in Windows 8.
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03168175&lc=en&cc=us&destPage=document&dlc=en
    If you have upgraded your computer to Windows 8 form another version of Windows, make sure to completely uninstall all of the software for your printer.  It should still print, but to use all the functions you will need to reinstall the software, if it’s available.
    Another thing to consider is how you want to connect the printer to the computer. 
    USB.  You should make sure that you have a USB cable that is no longer than 6 ft. (roughly 2m).  Make sure to connect the printer directly to the computer.  Do not use a USB hub. 
    Ethernet cable.  Make sure you have the network setup, that you have a free cable port on the router, and that you have an Ethernet cable available.
    Wireless.  You should make sure that you have the wireless network setup, and that you have the password for the wireless network. 
     1.     Installing Via USB
    Installing via USB in Windows 8 has become much simpler for HP printer users.  In other versions of the Windows OS you had to start the installation and wait for it to ask you for the USB connection.  If you didn’t, you would have to uninstall the printer from the Printers/Devices folder, and then start the install.  In Windows 8, that will not be a problem.  If you plug the printer’s USB cable in and then install the printer’s software, it will still work.  Now for in depth instructions on installing the printer via USB click the link below.
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03460670&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&la...
    2.     Installing Via an Ethernet Network Connection
    For an Ethernet network connected printer the install is amazingly simple.  All you have to do is connect the printer to the network.  Once you have that done, Windows 8 will automatically install the drivers for you.  Then, all you have to do is install the rest of the software, if it’s available.  It’s really that easy.
    http://www8.hp.com/us/en/support-drivers.html
    3.     Installing Via a Wireless Network Connection.
    For a wireless network connected printer the install is amazingly simple as well.  All you have to do is connect the printer to the network.  Once you have that done, Windows 8 will automatically install the drivers for you.  Then, all you have to do is install the rest of the software, if it’s available.  It’s pretty much the same as an Ethernet install, just wireless.
    http://www8.hp.com/us/en/support-drivers.html
    Alternate Install Methods
    With Windows 8, many printers’ drivers are installed with the OS.  These are known as InOS drivers, since they come built into the operating system.  If you have one of those printers, all you should have to do is connect it to the computer via USB, or connect it to the network via Ethernet or wireless.  Once you have that done Windows will handle the rest.  There are alternate methods of installing your printer if the normal methods are not working for some reason.  You can install the printer either using the Printer Install Wizard, or through Windows Updates. 
    Printer Install Wizard:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02681060&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&la...
    Windows Update:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03460648&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&la...
    Note: The Laserjet drivers for the Asia-Pacific and Japan won’t be released until a later date.  Check the support site linked below for driver availability.  I will update this post once they become available.

  • HP Photosmart D6160 printer with Windows 7 os

    I have an 18 month old HP Photosmart D6160 printer that has performed excellently on my PC running Windows 2000 Professional. The printer using the installed CD software was able to provide test prints, maintenance information and most importantly show which of the six ink cartridges was empty when the printer cartridge indicator light showed a problem. I have recently bought a Packard Bell TJ65 laptop using the Windows 7 os but HP do not provide any updated drivers for this os. The Windows 7 os recognises the printer and has a basic driver which does allow me to print but in order to ascertain which of the six cartridges has a problem (low ink level or empty) I have to remove and replace each cartridge in turn in order to find out which one needs to be replaced. None of the other printer maintenance is available either. I would appreciate any advice on whether there is a workaround for this problem. Thank you in anticipation! Ken

    I have exactly the same problem, I have tried on HP's website, they seem to have some software for windows 7 now, but have tried to download the patch but as the original software would not install with windows 7 OS the patch wont work, it would not be so bad if the printer was really ancient, but it is not, the company do not seem to be very supportive, I have loads of ink for it but can never tell which cartridge has run out until it stops printing that colour.  What a shame there does not seem to be an answer.

  • HP Photosmart C6380 not scanning or photo printing with Windows 8

    Just purchased HP M6/1125DX/15j with Windows 8. My current HP printer is an HP Photosmart C6380 All In One.  The printer does work but the photo part and scanning icons no longer appear that were on my desktop before. I tried to download the whole program that said would update my printer but after 6 tries at an hour each, at the end it just said my download was cancelled. Is there any chance my printer will be supported by Windows 8 and how do I do that if I can't download.  Or am I stuck buying a new printer? Thanks
    This question was solved.

    Hi,
    The C6380 is supported in Windows 8 and has a Full Solution Download.  I would try using the Print Install Wizard to help download and install the drivers.

  • PhotoSmart won't print with Windows 10

    My PhotoSmart D110 printer worked fine with Windows 8.1.  With Windows 10, I ran the troubleshooting software and it didn't find an appropriate Windows 10 driver.  I then uninstalled the driver, reinstalled the Windows 8.1 driver and it would successfully do a test print, but will not work with Office 2013.  The print jobs just are listed in the printer dialog box as "error".  Is there a solution.?

    HI there, From your posting I guess that printing works fine from other programs (Notepad, Adobe, etc)? Is your Office 2003 updated to the latest Service Pack etc?  

  • Networking color laserjet 3800 printer with Windows 7 OS

    I have a color laserjet 3800 that is networked in an office of 5 computers using Windows XP pro OS.  I just purchased a HP pavilion Slimline Windows 7 64 bit OS computer.  The networking and printer networking set up was a breeze until it came to connecting the 3800.  I have downloaded the PCL 5, 6 and universal drivers.  When I go to add printer as a network printer and choose the 3800 it gives an error of not being able to find a driver.  I tried to manually find the driver but it does not find a match in PCL 5, 6 or universal driver.  The link below clearly shows the 3800 to be compatible with windows 7, but I cannot get it work.
    http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/Details.aspx?type=Hardware&p=HP%20Col...
    The network absolutely sees the printer and lets it be chosen but does not let it get installed on the windows 7 machine.
    Thank you for any assistance.

    Same Problem here. Does no one have a solution?

  • Error printing with Windows 7 even after unistallin​g old and installing new driver

    I recently updated to 64-bit Windows 7 and cannot get my HP OfficeJetJ4580 working after the upgrade.  I uninstalled all prior printer drivers and ran the recommended software from the HP site to ensure there were no remaining drivers on my system, then installed the updated drivers for use with WIndows 7.  The driver isntallation said it was successfula dn that my printer was ready for use.
    When I try to print, the job is sent to the print que.  The print que immedialtely notes "Error printing" and deletes the job from the que.  The printer never responds or tries to print.  This happens with anything I try to print, including a test page.  No error message is dispalyed on my screen.  The only way I can see the error is by opening up the print que and looking at the pending jobs.  I went to the HP support center and downloaded and ran the printer diagnostic sofware they had on there.  It could not detect any problems with the printer. 
    I am at a complete loss as to what to try next.

    Hello PPN, and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I see you are running into installation issues.  I would like to help.
    I would suggest Uninstalling the Printer Software.
    Once it is uninstalled, I'd recommend putting your system into clean boot mode within the Microsoft configuration.  You can do so by following this document: How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
    After the computer has been put in clean boot mode, I would suggest reinstalling the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.
    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

  • Loaded 3.6.3 on Mac with 10.5.8 - no longer get printer recognition. Pinter is there with metwork and prints with Windows XPPro

    using mac10.5.8, since loading 3.6.3 can no longer access printer. Even without ff running. Pinter is a network unit that works with Windows fine. Can't even reload printer driver.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == First time FF 3.6.3 loaded

    It may tell me that you are seeing the "popular" complaint about the intermittent MM behavior.  Do google searches for "skipping magic mouse" or similar wording and you will get lots of hits.
    One suggestion which some have claimed works is to stick a little ball of aluminum foil between the batteries and their contacts.  The theory behind this is that not all batteries are created equal in the sense that the positive contact is slightly higher in some makes and not the others and that the ones with a shorter contact actually break contact due to the battery moving slightly in its compartment.  So the al foil is to take up the gap.
    I personally cannot say this theory is valid one way or another.  I use rechargeable Sanyo Eneloops and they seem ok. 

  • HP Laserjet 1300 Manual Double Sided Printing with Windows 7

    I just purchased a new laptop with windows 7, love the interface but have some hiccups here and there.  And the one that is the biggest pain is printing.  I have a HP Laserjet 1300 connected via a linksys print server.  Single sided printing works just fine, but I used to be able to (and still can from my work laptop running XP and from my wifes Laptop running Vista Home) print double sided manually.  But now even though it says duplex, it will not work and I think the Windows Driver believes that it is a duplexer attached to the printer verses a manual feature.  Any ideas on how to get my manual double sided printing back?

    Nice one...
    I found you can also modify the "Manual Duplex Help" section to provide instructions to the user while duplex printing :
    The following prn_grp displays pictures similar to the Laserjet 1300 and has the right procedure (take the printed pages and place them in the same orientation in the tray) :

    </prn_grp>
    NB : PQGroup_2 is for 600 dpi, PQGroup_4 is for FastRes 1200 dpi (fast) and PQGroup_5 is for ProRes 1200 dpi (finer, slower, more memory used).

  • Acrobat 8 PDF printing with Windows 8.1/MS office 2013

    I upgraded computer to Windows 8.1 and MS office professional 2013 and reinstalled adobe acrobat 8. 
    When I try to create pdf files from office 2013 document (Excel, Word, Publisher), computer freezes when window opens to select pfd document destination.
    I tried opening office document in acrobat and try to create pdf file. I get pdf maker missing at this point. 
    Before updating computer I ran compatibility tool and it indicated my acrobat 8.3.1 was compatible with Windows 8.1; however noted that I needed to go to adobe website for help with adobe ExtendScript toolkit 2.  I don’t know what adobe ExtendScript toolkit 2 is and if it is associated with Adobe Acrobat or CS3.

    I have no idea about the extend tool. You need to update to the latest version of AA 8, but it appears you are there with 8.3.1. You should print to the Adobe PDF printer. OFFICE 2013 is not compatible with the AA8 PDF Maker. So far I have only seen one person suggesting success with AA8 and Win8.1. If you can give details about your problem, we might be able to help, but you may not be successful. Only time and trial will tell.

  • WPS54GU2 printing to parallel printer with Windows 7 64-bit-cannot get it to work for the life of me

    Hello,
    I am having the worst difficulties getting the WPS54GU2 to print to a HP Laserjet 4L printer. I know that the general communication is working as I am able to print a test page from the 
    I have the IP address correct for the print server (in my case it is 192.168.1.103) and is set statically in the print server setup.
    I have it working fine on an XP box The port name configured on the XP machine is LK89A0B5_P1.
    The software that comes with the WPS print server will not install on Windows 7 so the address/port/queue must
    be set up manually.
    I have tried the link from Cisco's KB that shows how to configure the print sever:

    however this does not work and the print job either gets stuck in the print queue, or it shows busy/error in the print queue.
    I have also tried suggestions on this forum that say not to create a TCP/IP port but instead use LPR port.
    Can someone please give me the solution that will work. I have heard people say to use L1 for the queue name, or P1, or LP1
    or lp1. I cannot spend much more time on this before I give up and look for a different print server that will work with both parallel and USB printers.
    Thanks for help/suggestions on this.
    Mike

    sometimes it needs the device- specific drivers to get it to work; especially that you have a 64- bit OS.
    the print server is already connected to the network, right? what is its IP address? check if the computer can ping that IP by going to start> search> cmd> ping 192.168.1.78 (change this to the correct IP address). if your computer can ping the print server then you can setup LPR printing to get your printing jobs done. click on the link below for more info.
