Two-sided printing with HP C7280 all-in-one?

Howdy all!
I just bought an HP Photosmart C7280 all-in-one. While ordinary printing works fine, I see no way to do two-sided printing with the current driver. (The accessory is already installed by default.)
Has anyone managed to get this to work?
Thanks!

Hi Randy,
Yes the upside down issue was fixed for me, but only when I manually downloaded and installed the latest HP print drivers from Apple support directly. Apparently the automatic update doesn't recognize the network printer, so it won't download the drivers. I can't remember the exact driver I downloaded and installed, but it was the latest that included the All In One 7200 series. This is the latest I could find, and I believe it was what I downloaded

I hope this helps you!

2 sided printing with hp 6800 all in one

I recently went to print my Caring Bridge blog and was amazed I had not noticed the option for 2 sided printing before. (I've have this printer at least 6 mos) I was thrilled how beautifully this worked! Problem is, the 2 sided option doesn't show anymore. Even went back to Caring Bridge and tried to repeat. If I didn't have the 2 sided document I'd think I was loosing my mind. :-) 2 nights ago the 2 sided option appeared again as an ooption. Next thing I trieds to print the 2 sided option had disapperaed again?
I love the 2 sided printing feature and am looking fwd to figuring out how to have this as a permanent option in my printing choices. THank you for your help!

Two sided printing with wordperfect HP Photosmart 6515

Any ideas how to set up two sided printing with wordperfect documents using HP Photosmart 6515

Hello,
You should be able to print on two sides using this method for your product:
NOTE:You can print your document on both sides of the paper, instead of just one side. Click on the Advanced button on the Paper/Quality or Layout tab. From the Pages to Print drop-down menu select Print Odd Pages Only . Click OK to print. After the odd numbered pages of the document have been printed, remove the document from the output tray. Reload the paper in the input tray with the blank side facing up. Return to the Pages to Print drop-down menu and then select Print Even Pages Only . Click OK to print.

Two-sided printing with Epson Workforce 630

I bought a new iMac a few months ago and got the Epson WorkForce 630 printer at the same time. However, I can't figure out how to do duplex (two-sided) printing. I've searched around, and it looks like this feature may not be supported for the Mac. Now, why would Apple sell a printer through their website that doesn't support Mac? This seems like a basic feature that all printers should have.
Does anyone know a work-around? The "two-sided" selection is grayed out for me.
Thanks!

Thanks! Unfortunately, on the Epson site, it says, "
Q:
Is manual duplex (double-sided) printing supported in Mac OS X with my product?
A:
No. This feature is supported in Windows only."
I really don't know why Apple would sell a printer through their stores that doesn't support all features in their OS. I might end up going back to my older printer.

Two-sided printing with HP 940

I've got a HP Deskjet 940 WITH the duplexer but I cannot for the life of me see where / how I can enable and access two-sided printing in OS X (had NO problem doing this when it was with my PC).
Suggestions?

First, you need to have a printer driver that enable two-sided printing. I don't know HP 940, but with my HP (J6480) it came with the printer.
In the print dialog box, you need to press the arrow next to the printer name to see all options. Once you see all options there will be a menu on the right side where you can choose options for the printer. If the printer driver supports duplexing, one of them should be two sided printing. Depending on your printer, it could be different places in that menu. It might also depend on the program you're printing from. Try from preview, it should be there (if you use cmd-P to print). If you don't see the option, it might be a printer driver problem.

HP ColorLaserjet 2600n-Two-sided printing with Snow Leopard

Hi,
I have a question relating to double-sided printing. I have a HP Color LaserJet 2600n. Two-sided printing worked fine for me with Leopard. Since I updated to Snow Leopard (now I have version 10.6.4) the two-sided printing options in the printing dialogue are disabled (greyed out). I use the printerdriver 1.3.0.261 How to enable this option again? Software update does not have any new software for my printer.
Thanks!

I have this printer and the same problem. This printer does not have a hardware duplex unit, the duplex is entirely manual.
In the old driver settings, you could check off the "Two sided" checkbox (beside the Collate checkbox), and the unit will basically print off the odd pages, then after that it will pause until you take the printed pages and put it back in the tray, then press the Go button to initiate the print for the other side.
There is no settings (besides Tray 3) in Options and Supplies.

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.

Two sided prints with /right/ side up

hi all,
is there an easy way to print TWO SIDED prints so that the back side is oriented in the same direction as the front side? right now if i click on the two sided print box it prints so that i have to flip the page over from top or bottom (don't want) as opposed to left or right (should be the default IMHO).
any ideas on where i find this or how i set it? i am printing out of Numbers but i assume this applies mac software wide or something along those lines.
didn't find any threads on this that were current.
TIA

Hi,
From the application used to print open the printer dialog, then click on ettings or Preferences to access to Printig Preferences dialog.
Within the Layout tab change the Print on both sides option.
For a portrait oriented document select Flip on Long Edge, for a Landscape one select Flip on Short Edge, then it will print as expected.

Two-sided printing with HP Deskjet 960c

My printer used to print two-sided just fine. I had a jam and cleared it. Now the software doesn't offer me the two-sided option any more. I reloaded the drivers, made sure two-sided printed was enabled under my printer settings, but still no luck. Any suggestions?

Try enabling the duplexer in device settings as discussed here. If that does not solve the issue please indicate what operating system you have and what driver.

Two sided print with Mac Mavericks 10.9.3

I had everything reinstalled on my Mac. Since then, I can't make the two sides printing work.
I have a HP Photosmart C7280. Duplexer is ticked.
I choose print two sides on the window options to print. But then the printers doesn't do it.
If I go to show presents from the printing options window, then layout, I see two sided is off.
But there I don't have the option to change it.
Why something so simple is made so time consuming? Does HP care about the environment?
Thanks.

Hello Planeta-Aleph,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you're unable to print double sided using the Photosmart C7280. I will do my best to assist you! Unfortunately, for this printer and the operating system you currently have, there isn't a full feature software available.
You can only install a basic print driver using an Apple Update. This information is stated from the HP document on OS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac.
Added features that were included in the full feature software are not included in the basic print driver. This is why the two sided is set to off and you're unable to turn this feature on.
Please let me know if you have any further questions. Have a great night!

Two-sided printing with Windows 7

After installing Windows 7 on a network computer my officejet L7680 prints the same page on both sides of a 2 sided document. I cannot get it to print the 2nd page on the back side if I want more then 1 copy. If I print just one copy the printer prints both side correct but when I ask for 2 or more copies it print the same page on both sides.
I have it set up as two-sided copy. Automatically. What am I missing?

The driver typically defaults to the duplexer being "not installed". See here for information on enabling the duplexer.

Printing with HP PSC1210 All in one printer

Hello all,
Anyone out there had any luck finding a driver for the HP PSC1210xi all in one printer with Snow Leopard? I had basic printing functionality under Leopard and would just like to have the same under Snow Leopard. As a workaround, I am able to still print and scan just fine using Windows XP running in VMWare Fusion, so, I am not dead in the water. However, I would like to just get basic printing capability restored in Snow Leopard.
Thanks all.

OK, so I have some bad news. FIrst, unfortunately the print drivers for the PSC1210 are not available yet. They will be available at some point in the future through an Apple Software Update. Second, since HP never posted a 10.5 driver package for your device, there is nothing for you to download to try to get things at least functioning.
That being said, you may have some luck with the Gutenprint drivers or others. There isn't a driver specifically for the PSC 1210, but the one for the PSC 1215 may work.
HP is aware of the problem, and I know I am trying to do everything in my power to solve it as soon as possible.
Just trying to help.

Coupon printing with a 3054a All-in-one

I have an iMac running Lion (Mac OS 10.7.2) with a HP 3054a all in one. Whenever I try to print a coupon I get an error message that gives the status as "error" and the job message says "/usr/libexec/cups/filter/CouponConvertor_v2 failed"
I appear to have everything else set up correctly.
Can anyone help? I can't live without my coupons....
I've tried printing in Safari and Firefox with the same results.

Hi there,
There seem to be a number of Mac users who have similar problems with coupons. Try this thread on the apple boards as some users have found it helpful.
Best of Luck!
