Single side printing on Photosmart 6525

I have a current imac, running system 10.0. I am using Word 11.0 word processing software.
Prior to upgrading to the newest system softwar and buying this printer (which I did a the same time), the print dialog box that came up in Word 11 offered a choice between single-sided and duplex printing.
Since the upgrade and printer purchase, that choice still appears when printing from other applications, but not when printing from Word 11.
I therefore must issue a separate one-page print command for every page I wish to print one-side only, which is everytning.
How to toggle between single-sided and duplex printing in these circumstances? Should there not be a choice every time I want to print?
Thank you.

Can's single side print anymore - dialog box is missing

Apple OS has become so very frustrating over the past couple of years.
We are running 10.10.2 and have the latest printer drivers for our network printer.
Everything prints duplex. Very annoying. On the page where the option to switch between single sided and duplex use to be when changing the printer features, this option is no longer there.
Yes, I know how to look everywhere. I've been in mac support for over 15 years.
Anybody know where to find this option?

Interesting, because it's usually the duplex feature that doesn't work for most users.
Under System Preferences > Printers & Scanners > Options... is Duplexer checked? On my computer, if Duplexer is unchecked, the ability to switch between duplex and single sided is disabled in the Print... > Layout settings

HP Photosmart 6525 Printing issue

I was away for a family emergency for 7months went to print and nothing happend figured they dried out. Replaced all ink, Test print works on color but black is light color. When I go to print a document it is all blank including color & black.

The troubleshooting steps in the document here may help resolve black not printing on your Photosmart 6525 printer. If the steps there do not resolve the issue I would suggest you call HP Support as described in the post here, even if the printer is out of warranty.

If you wish to keep print both sides as default, pleae try:
(a) Double click (or touch) "HP Photosmart 5520" icon (should be one on desktop,
(b) Click Set Preferences
(c) In "Lay out" tab, there are 3 options in print Both sides, select "Flip on Long Edge" (normally for Portrait printing)

You can overwrite this default when printing from applications using Printer properties.

Black only prints on Print Quality Diagnostic report - Photosmart 6525

I have a Photosmart 6525 printer. On the 2nd page of a 2 page print, black rapidly faded out. Cartridge only weeks old and printer ink level check showed it as nearly full. I ran the Clean Printhead option which printed out a Print Quality Diagnostic when it was done. All of the informational text printed perfectly but nothing in the black grey-scale box or in the alignment. Still won't print or copy black. **bleep**?

The informational text on the print quality page is printed with color and black inks, so that if one or the other is not working the print will still be visible.
I would suggest going through the troubleshooting steps in the document here. Be sure to check the vents as described in that document.
Is your printer still in warranty? You can check with HP's warranty tool here.

I have an iPad 2. I cannot get it to print from our Hp photosmart 6525 printer. Both Hp and apple say these machines can use AirPrint. Can anyone help

I have an iPad 2 and cannot get it to print from our p photosmart 6525 printer. Does anyone know how to get the AirPrint to work between these two machines?

Hi,
As soon as the devices connected to your network the printer should appear as AirPrint.
You may ensure it is connected by clicking the wireless icon on the printer screen to locate its IP, then type the IP into Safari and check if you can access the printer homepage from your iPad.
If the printer conncted but still not being detected as AirPrint, ensure you have the latest firmware for your printer:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03312867&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en &product=5271613&tmp_track_link=ot_search
If the printer still not being dedected I would rather suspect the network as AirPrint uses Apple Bonjour and therefore require your network to support multicasting to operate..
You may test it by temporary setting direct connection using Wireless Direct, if the printer being detected without using the router please clarify your router brand and model to better understand your router capabiities.
The steps to enable Wireless Direct can be found listed below:

New Windows 8.1 computer will not recognize HP Photosmart 6525 Printer.

My father in law got a new computer that has Windows 8.0 and we upgraded it to 8.1. I cannot get the computer to recognize the printer. I have downloaded the drivers and also tried to use the cd that came with the printer. While installing I get the message to connect the printer to the computer but its already connected by a usb cable. I have restarted the computer and also disconnected the cable and reconnected it multiple times. I have also downloaded the HP Install Wizard and it still will not see the printer. I will try the HP scan doctor software later today. The printer is HP Photosmart 6525. Is this printer compatible with Windows 8.1. Thanks!

Thank you for the response. This printer is supported on Windows 8.1, as indicated here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-108722-2&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
What loop is occurring when installing the software? If you can provide screenshots of the loop, or any error messages/code, that would be appreciated.
In all honestly, newer printers would have a better chance of working. Personally, I could suggest the Envy 4500 and 5530. I have attempted to install these printers on 8.1, and I witnessed no issues. However, the Photosmart 6525 is compatible with Windows 8.1. More troubleshooting may have to be attempted, before the issue is resolved.

Both Side Printing in HP printer photosmart 5510

I have a Macbook running on lion 10.7.3 and i can't figure out how to print on both sides of the paper in my hp photosmart 5510 printer. Is there no driver that I can download so that the printer does it automatically ? I'm confused I think it is such a waist of paper if you can't print on both sides.

Hello,
The Photosmart 5510 hardware does not provide Automatic Duplex functionality as you may find listed by the spec below:
http://www8.hp.com/uk/en/products/printers/product-detail.html?oid=5063600&jumpid=oc_r1002_uken&lang...
Manual duplexing can be done by any of the methods below:
Method one: Perform manual print duplexing using the Page to Print setting:
In order to perform manual duplexing, you shouls use the Pages to Print setting, as you may find listed below:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01663233&tmp_task=useCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&lang...
Method two: Using the Two-Sided Printing application:

PhotoSmart Premium C309a driver problem in Win10 at double side printing

My problem is as follows: I created a catalog in MS Publisher 2013 for A4 paper format with 2 page per paper. I selected booklet side-fold type and double side printing. MS Publisher prepared all pages in correct way. I even created PDF versuions of such pages. But each time when I print pages, the printer keeps make them smaller (I think it scale them for Letter format) despuite the fact I changes in printer preferences A4as default paper source, all documents are in A4 format etc. As result, the printed pages are shifter from the center page on the left side, which is ok for one side printing but cannot work for doyuble side printing as shift is in different directions for result paper. Additionally, I cannot any more print on DVD or CD surfaces as the driver doesn't support sauch a feature. Please let me know how I can replace the native Windows 10 driver with the one for Windows 8.1? Or is there any other solutions except using another OS? Thx, Vlad.

Hi , Welcome to the HP Forums! I noticed that your HP PhotoSmart Premium C309a is having a driver problem in Windows 10 when printing double sided. I am happy to help! According to this guide, How to Use the 2-Sided Feature, it looks to me as if the double sided printing feature is only available to use with regular plain white paper. (Letter sized), which could be why the printer is scaling the size to letter. You could possibly try using an alternate driver, by going to this post, How to Assign Alternate Print Drivers in Different Versions of Windows, by , and follow the steps for Windows 8, as they will work on Windows 10. Then you could attempt a custom size print. But as mentioned previously, I am positive that the 2-sided feature for this printer is for Letter sized paper only, and cannot guarantee this will work. Hope this answers your question, and thank you for posting! “Please click the Thumbs up icon below to thank me for responding.”

Does the HP Photosmart Premium Model C310 Series have the capability to do two side printing?

Is my printer capable of doing two sided printing without manual intervention?

Hi fildawg,
First, check to see that the two-sided printing accessory is showing as installed:
1. Click the Apple icon on the top bar, to the far left
2. Click System Preferences
3. Click Print & Fax (10.6.8 and Earlier) or Print & Scan (10.7.x)
4. Click to select your printer (HP Photosmart C310) from the list on the left
5. Click the Options & Supplies button on the right
6. Click the Driver tab
7. Look for a line item that says "HP Two-sided Printing Accessory (Duplexer)", and make sure it has a check mark to the left of it.
Next, here are the steps to print two-sided:
The following is an example of the print workflow I use - it is just the order of menus/buttons/settings that you go through when setting up a print job.
1. Open a document to print
2. Click File --> Page Setup (If Page Setup is available, Safari doesn't usually have this option).
3. Under Format For: select the specific printer (Sometimes this will default to "Last Used Printer").
**By specifying the printer, you enable the driver-specific options for that product.
4. Select the Paper Size, then Click Ok
5. Click File --> Print
**Depending on the application, you may see a condensed driver window. Look for a down arrow or show details button to expand to the full size driver window.
6. Depending on which version of Mac OS X you are using, the two-sided option will either be:
- A check box towards the top of the driver window (or alternately, a selection within the Layout menu where you select the binding style).
- A menu item located in the drop down menu that is just below Orientation.
7. Click the Paper Type/Quality menu item, and ensure that these settings are correct for the media being printed on.
8. Click Print.
Please let me know if you need further assistance with this, or more detail.
Thanks!

HP PhotoSmart 6525 Switching Back-and-Forth between Wireless and USB

Hi,
I setup my HP PhotoSmart 6525 using the "Wireless with a router" setup instructions (i.e. not Wireless Direct). I am able to print from my laptop through the wireless network. I would also like to be able to print from my laptop using the USB connection at times when my laptop is physically sitting next to the printer. At times when it is not, I want to continue to be able to print wirelessly.
Is it possible to setup the print drivers on the laptop so that I can easily switch back-and-forth between USB printing and wireless network printing? I suspect that it may not be possible because the user guide has a section describing how to "Change from a USB connection to a wireless network" that has you click on a menu item called "Convert a USB connected printer to wireless". There are no instructions for how to convert back to USB. Moreover, the use of the word "convert" does not make it sound like you can maintain both print methods simultaneously on a single computer.
Does anyone know whether it can be done, and if so how?
Thanks in advance,
Paul2

Hey Paul2,
I see you have the HP Photosmart 6525 installed for Wireless printing capacity and would also like to add a USB driver so that it is available for use when near the printer. Please follow the steps below to add a copy of the printer for USB printing. The below steps are for Windows 7 and below based computers. If you have Windows 8, then the steps will be slightly different so let me know. Please let me know if you have a Mac, because I can provide those steps at that time.
Press the Start menu of the computer
Select All Programs
Open the HP Folder
Open the folder for the HP Photosmart 6520 series
Select "Printer Setup and Software"
Select the option to Add a new printer
Select the USB option
Plug the USB cable in when the software requests it and proceed through the install process
This will leave the Wireless driver support in place and add a second printer under the Devices and Printers window for USB printing. The USB printer may contain Copy 1 in the name as a differentiation, however the other one should also state Network in the printer name to indicate it is the wireless option.
I hope this helps,
Jason

HP Photosmart 6525 won't scan to computer (wireless) anymore

My HP Photosmart 6525 no longer scans to my PC via wireless (it used to work just fine).
I can still print via wireless just fine, so I know the two are still 'talking'.
When I use the menu on the printer to Scan to Computer I get the a message asking me to make sure I'm connected, have software installed, etc. and to make sure 'scan to computer' is enabled.
In the tray on my PC, there is only an icon that opens a 'Scan to Computer' dialog box telling me 'scan to computer is currently unavailable' and to check connections but doesn't give me any other option other than to 'disable.'
When I disable and re-enable it doesn't give me any new information but still displays the same 'scan to computer is currently unavailable' message.
None of the HP program folders lead me to any controls that seem to diagnose or fix this problem.
What else can I do? Like I said this used to work fine until recently. Yes I did restart everything.

I have the same problem on an Officejet 4632. I recently updated software on the printer. I can print but not scan due to connectivity issue. Need help.
Thanks

Hi Dinesh_G,
Sorry for the delayed response. Try adding an alternate driver. Here is a link that will provide steps for that. Click Here Check which PCL driver you are currently using and add the alternate (PCL5/PCL6). Please see the below for additional clarification.
Utilize the above link for exact steps on adding the driver.
1. Check which driver currently used-PCL5 or PCL6-this will be located near name of driver in print folder or print properties
2. Follow steps provided in link to add whichever one the currently installed driver is using
     A. Select HP as manufactuer
     B. Select HP universal printing PCL 6 or HP universal printing PCL 5
3. Attempt duplex print job
Hope this helps!

Help with wireless networking with my Photosmart 6525 on Mac 10.8.5

I have just purchased an HP Photosmart 6525 and cannot get the wireless printing to work. I've followed all of the instructions provided online and printed with the device.
I'm attempting to connect from my Macbook Air running 10.8.5. I've successfully connected the printer to my wireless network - I just printed the wireless network test and it states "No problems found. Congratulations...". Gee thanks...
I've taken the steps of enabling Wireless Direct, and Web Service, ePrint is on. By the way, all of these different options are totally unhelpful - I cannot determine which are actually required to just connect via wi-fi?
I also downloaded and installed the latest driver software from HP. Going through the setup it reaches a point where it tells me to unplug USB (cannot go through it without it connected I learned) so it can configure wireless. Then it tells me it cannot find the device.
I have no option to skip this and although I've run it several times I still don't see the "setup assistant" application that it supposedly installed.
I've seen elsewhere that there is supposed to be the ability to connect directly to the printer via browser, by typing in the IP address. I've verified that the IP address appears valid for my network (192.168.1....) but when I put it into Chrome it cannot find it.
My frustration level is rapidly rising as the documentation and online support for this product is incredibly disjointed and unhelpful. I've searched online for hours, including this forum. Would appreciate any pointers to more detailed help / instruction before I am forced to return this printer.

Hi,
Not sure this will ultimately help, but you should update your version from 14.0.0 to 14.1.2. If you can get to the update via Help> Updates... try using the Creative Cloud desktop application found here:
https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud
You may already have it installed; it can be found in the Applications directory for a default install.

Mac Microsoft Word 2008 double side printing

Hi.
I recently purchased Macbook Pro 15, and installed Microsoft Office 2008.
I have a SamSung Express 282 series laser printer.
When I use my window pc or window labtop, it double-side prints all right.
But when I try to double-side print with Mac Pro Microsoft word 2008, it doesn't work.
From the Print menu, I go to 'printer feature' and click on 'reverse two-sided printing', but it keeps saying
"Changing the setting of Reverse Two-Sided Printing to On would cause a conflict that cannot be resolved. No change will be made,"
and does not let me click on it.
Does anyone know what's going on?
I really want to save some trees and do only double-sided printing, but it doesn't let me.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, guys.

Be sure to pick the OS X Lion 10.7 driver from the pulldown menu before selecting the driver category below it.
If that doesn't work, contact Canon. There are some Lion supporting double sided printers for sure.
Mind you,when manufacturers rely on the CUPS drivers as they did in this instance they may have
taken the easy way out, and that might avoid having the double sided printing.
http://support.apple.com/kb/dl899 may be able to patch those drivers to give you double sided printing if the Canon ones do not.
There are a few other open source alternatives*.
When double sided printing doesn't work, the trick is to rotate the pages upside down and feed face down switching odd and even page numbers.
Test with single sheets first, and then once you get the hang of it, do multiple.
I don't know where your printer feeds, so you'll have to try a couple times to figure out the correct direction.
