Two sided printing on an HP Officejet 6500 Wireless

When I print using two sided the printer cuts off the top half of the second side. It misses several lines of print. If I print the same document and do not make it two sided it prints properly. If I try to print 4 pages two sided - it will print the first one, bottom half of the second and then leave it in the print q with an error????

I don't think that printer supports AirPrint. To get it to work you will need to install something like Printopia. That's what I had to do and it works great.

  • How can I print to my HP OfficeJet 6500 Wireless Printer from my iPhone 4S which used to work before AirPrint printers were even available? (running Mac Lion OS, all software and HP sw updates are all performed)

    How can I print to my HP OfficeJet 6500 Wireless Printer from my iPhone 4S which used to work (on prior iPhones) before AirPrint printers were even available? (running Mac Lion OS, all software and HP sw updates are all performed)
    I don't get it, I read one post about why would we have to buy an AirPrint Printer when we have used the "print to a wifi printer" just fine in the past?  Yes I feel that's exactly what's happening to me now too. I want to print from my iPhone and iPad to my WiFi Printer which is also now connected to my Airport Express WiFi network just fine. No problems.

    Very glad you added that bit of information because I see different problems similar to this.  I want to share with them what you did and hopefully you not only fixed your specific problem but you can lend some more advice to others with problems like this. Thanks!

  • Print quality of an officejet 6500 wireless all-in-one E709n

    I purchased this printer as part of an Apple promotion with a MacBookPro.  The color is extremely poor.  Was told by an HP tech. that they were host cartridges only to be used for setting up the printer.    Anyone else experience this?  Also, when I print out an email, the top part of the message is cut off.  How do I fix that?  Apple won't exchange for another as I already recycled the box.  Do I just have a bum printer?  It does respond to print commands and I have it hooked to a desktop iMac via USB and to my laptop via wireless.  That works...unfortunately, the quality is horrible.

    I think our HP tech support agent gave you incorrect advice.  Out of the box, the color quality should be spot on.
    When you say the color is extremely poor, do you see this with photo printing or general purpose color documents?
    Also, have you tried performing a print head cleaning and an alignment?  The alignment should have been done automatically when you first setup the printer but it doesn't hurt to do it again.
    Finally, give HP tech support a call again and politely press your case.  Don't let them tell you it's a host supply issue since the 6500 doesn't use this type of starter ink.  If you are unhappy with the printer's print quality, insist on a replacement.
    BTW -- I have a prototype Officejet 6500 and I think it's a good office printer.

  • 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,

  • 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 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 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.
    BH

  • 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.

    two sided printing isn't a feature belonging to Pages so there is no reason to describe it in Pages User Guide.

  • 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.

  • How do I use the double sided printing with my HP Officejet 6500A plus

    I need help with learning to use the double sided printing with my HP Officejet 6500A Plus

    Click on the Show Details button just above:
    You can configure various options from the dropdown menu just below Orientation.
    Printing two-sided requires a two-sided adaptor for the printer. Otherwise, you have to print out odd numbered pages first, turn them over and reinsert into the paper feeder, then print even numbered pages. If you do it right you get a nice two-sided document. If you do it wrong all the even numbered pages will be upside down.
