Two sided printing HP Officejet 4630

How to use the two sided printing with the HP Officejst 4630. I see how to use two sided copy.

Hi,
It has a duplexer that means you can print both sides automatically. Please try (from page #10 of its manual):
To print on both sides of the page
1. On the File menu in your software, click Print.
2. Make sure your printer is selected.
3. Click the button that opens the Properties dialog box.
Depending on your software application, this button might be called Properties, Options, Printer Setup, Printer Properties, Printer, or Preferences.
4. Select the appropriate options.
● On the Paper/Quality tab, select the appropriate paper type from the Media drop-down list in the Tray Selection area, and then select the appropriate print quality in the Quality Settings area.
● Click the Advanced button, in the Paper/Output area, select the appropriate paper size from the Paper Size drop-down list.
5. On the Layout tab, select Flip on Long Edge or Flip on Short Edge from the Print on Both Sides drop-down list.
6. Click OK to print.
Regards.

Two-sided printing option greyed-out HP OfficeJet 7500a

Hi,
Could anyone help me? I just bought a HP OfficeJet 7500a (which does support duplex printing) and I am unable to do two-sided printing as the dropdown menu (located in layout in the print screen) is greyed-out.
Do I require a driver or anything like that?
By the way I am running Mountain Lion Developer Preview if that matters.
Thanks in advance.

HP OfficeJet j6480, Duplex (Two-sided) printing, adobe, and "default"

I've been through many of the duplex printing posts, and can't find an answer that works.
The system:
A MacBook Pro running 10.5.6 with the latest HP printer drivers (1.1.1 as per
http://support.apple.com/downloads/HPPrinter_Driver_1_11 )
A HP OfficeJet j6480 connected over the wireless network (or via USB, it doesn't
seem to matter).
The problem:
1. Duplex printing from MS Word only works if I click the "Two-Sided Printing"
option in the print dialog +every time+ I print: saving the print setup
configuration doesn't retain the two-sided setting. But at least duplex
printing works in Word -- if somewhat awkwardly.
2. In all programs with a print dialog box, the "two-sided printing" choice
selector in the [Layout] panel is greyed out.
3. In Acrobat Reader and in Firefox, two sided printing just doesn't work
at all. No matter what the settings.
I've tried the hpijs drivers as well -- the 3.9.2 version did no good at all.
(From http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/MacOSX/hpijs#More_Info .)
HP support was a little less than useless -- not only did they not solve
the problem, they made me late for dinner. sigh.

OfficeJet Pro L7590 and two-sided printing

Anyone been able to implement 2 sided printing with this printer. Seems like HP driver is broken, even though print setup allows one to check two-sided printing.

This may help in regards to this two sided issue. I did have some orientation problems on landscape mode but was able to print two sided. After hours of working between HP and Apple etc. I in theory figured out something that proved to work. HP's web driver page warns of not trying to use 10.5 drivers and programs on Snow Leopard. My theory was that in the upgrade process to 10.6 could there be some problems in the process of changing out the drivers and programs, (some programs are even said not to work at all by HP in S.L.). So I did a complete uninstall of all HP printer programs, software and drivers and then reinstalled the printer fresh in Snow Leopard. Wonder of wonders now the two sided printing works properly and the needed adjustments are all back. In a few different places but they are there and they do work. So maybe the problem exists in the upgrade process? I did not have the problems at all in 10.5 but after the upgrade everything changed. Now that it is more like a fresh install in SL all seem to work. The only thing I have not done yet is use the scanner process which HP admits is very different but they do give instructions about it on the driver download page. Hope this helps someone else.

Two-sided printing with HP Officejet 6310

When I go to layout the two-sided printing option is off. I'm not able to click on it and turn it on for some reason. How can I fix that?
I have printed things double sided before with this printer. It's only with this computer that I haven't been able to.

Which UserGuide
two sided printing isn't a feature belonging to Pages so there is no reason to describe it in Pages User Guide.
If it's described somewhere, it's in the System's Help.

How can I print black ink only when in automatic two-sided mode for Officejet 6500?

When I set the printer to automatically print on two sides, it only allows color or high quality grayscale as print color options. If I print on only one side, then I have a third option for black ink only. Does anyone know how to get black ink only while getting two sided printing automatically?
This question was solved.

Sorry, this is not an option. When printing the front page of a duplexed page the black is underprinted with color to make the print "set" and dry faster. As a result "black only" is not an option when printing automatically duplexed pages.

HP L7760 two-sided printing not working

I have an HP Officejet Pro L7760 which does two-sided printing, or it did until I upgraded from 10.5.2 to 10.5.5. I have reset the printer system, downloaded & installed the latest printer software from HP. I called HP. I called Apple.
I see the Apple website says the latest HP printer driver is 1.1.1. When I bring up Print & Fax, it says my printer driver is 2.3.1.
Does anyone know how to get back the two sided printing? Which driver version is correct? Any thing I can try?

I have an HP PhotoSmart 2575 All-in-One with the latest HP driver that displays the two-sided printing option greyed-out in the Layout window. According to HP, your printer must be capable of accepting an optional two-sided printer tray to work on a Mac. To me that is ludicrous since in Windows the driver supports manual two-sided printing.
To get around this, I select the Paper Handling window and from the Pages to Print drop-down list select Odd only instead of the default All Pages. After clicking the print button the odd pages print starting with the last page and ending with the first. I then remove all paper and reinsert the printed pages with the top of the page facing the printer. First, though, I reorder the pages with the first page on the bottom and the last page on top. If the total number of pages is an odd number, I remove the last page from the inserted stack, as that is the very last printed page. I then select Even only from the Pages to Print drop-down list and click print again.
Problem solved.

Two sided printing on HP with Yosemite no longer available?

Since updating my iMac to the latest Yosemite, (10.10.2) my HP all in one C6280 printer does not even offer the option of two sided printing. Is there a way to get this feature back? The printer used to do two sided printing, and the option used to come up, but no longer seems to be there. I read several posts which suggested renaming a preset, but in the preset dialog box, it indicates that this is no longer an option. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

If it's greyed out, it could mean that your device does not support duplex printing under OS X. One thing you could try if you haven't already is remove the printer entirely then add it back in again. The drivers that Apple supplies are the latest drivers for this device, there are no full-featured drivers available for this OS version.
Also, verify that you are using the proper steps for manual duplex printing:
http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-Officejet-6500A-e-All-in-One-Printer-seri es---E7/4083974/model/4083869/document/c…
If that doesn't work, you could try this two-sided printing application from HP:
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software12/COL35975/mp-88750-2/HP_Two-sided_Printi ng.dmg
If the above doesn't work, I think an email to HP support is in order. I suspect that they dropped support for duplex printing for your device with the later OS versions. When was the last time you had duplex support? Was it automatic or manual (i.e. you had to flip pages and print again)?

J4550 All In One Two Sided Printing Option Lost after re-installation!?!?!?

Was wondering what I am doing wrong.
My computer crashed over the weekend and I had to restore to factory defaults.
I re-installed the printer from the installation disk that came with my All in One J4550.
I opened up a powerpoint of some menus I had made and printed before.
When I went to print out these menus there was no option available for 2 sided manual printing in the printing options/preferences page.
Before the reinstallation I had been able to print up menus using the 2-sided printing. Now it's nowhere to be found. Was this option maybe made available through an update or something?? I have downloaded several to no avail. Thanks for your help!

Hi Jill542,
if you goto the HP Officjet J4550 Printing Preferences > Printing Shortcuts tab, do you see "Manually" available in the "Print On Both Sides" option?
if you goto the HP Officjet J4550 Printing Preferences > features tab, do you see the "Manual" avilable in the "two sided printing options"? if you couldnt' see the "two sided printing optios" at all it might be due to you have unchecked the "enabled advanced printing features" in the print driver. to enable this you can
1. right click on the HP Officejet J4500 printer icon
2. click on the advanced tab
3. check "enabled advanced printing features"
4. now if you go back to printing preference again you should see the "two sided printing options "available in the feature tab
Say "Thanks" by clicking the blue Kudos star in the post that helped you.

HP 6500 two-sided printing

I need advice on getting the two-sided printing option to show up when I select print on my HP 6500 Officejet. Thanks.

Well, there are basically three options. HP have a driver for 10.5 and earlier which very likely won't work because of the changes in SL. Gutenberg 5.3.2 will probably drive the printer but not provide duplex printing (this was my experience with a Deskjet for which there is now no HP driver - and the colour handling was less than perfect). The remaining option is the HP driver which is alleged to work with SL. If none of these work I don't know what else can be done except to try a third-party scanner driver such as VueScan.

Two Sided Printing-font

When I use the two sided print function on my Officejet 8500 the front side prints perfectly but the back side prints in a larger font that doesn't fit the information to the page. I can't find any help information regarding this problem. Anyone have the same problem and hopefully a solution?

Hi lunker and welcome to the HP Forum,
I understand that you are having a problem with the duplex printing enlarging the print on the back page. I will try my best to help you resolve this issue. There are a couple of firmware updates for this printer. First we need to establish which version of Officejet 8500 you have.
To better guide you could you please tell me the Model Number of your printer?
The operating system and bit version you are running on your computer?
Whether you are connected wireless or with a USB cable?
Let me know please.
Thank you,

Two sided printing from Word

I can print two sided from a pdf window but not from Word. How come?
In the printer dialog box the two-sided option is not there in Word, but it is there if I send it to a PDF and then print.
I have 10.8.4 and a HP Officejet 6500A

I found this on the HP site, seems to work for some.

Two-sided printing from safari

i have a new iMac and HP Officejet Pro k550 (network connected)
the printer is capable of two-sided printing and works fine with word, mail, etc. ... but not with safari. the two-side option is greyed-out and cannot be selected.
is this a problem with my set-up configuration or safari? it's not the printer because it works fine with other apps.

You're welcome.
Strange you can print 2 sided on some sites, but not others. I don't believe the web site dictates whether this is OK or not. It would be simply a function of multiple pages being processed, and the driver supporting 2 sided printing relative to a specific application.

Two sided printing option disappeared?

I have an HP Officejet 6700 Premium printer, copier, scanner, fax, etc. Initially I could have the option of two sided printing both as a printer and a copier. I can no longer access that option. It has disappeared from the screen. What can I do?

Hi Tiqlov,
Welcome to the HP Support forums. I gather that you can no longer choose the double sided option on your Officejet 6700 printer.
Please follow the steps in Resetting Your Printer and ensure that the printer is plugged directly into a wall outlet. For reference purposes I’ve also included Printing on Both Sides of the Paper (Duplexing) document.
