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.

  • 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 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!

  • 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 in Windows 7

    I have a duplex printer.  Previously (Windows XP), I could set the default on my printer to print double automatically by right-clicking on my printer icon in Printers & Faxes, clicking Properties then clicking Printing Preferences, then selecting from the drop-down in "Print on both sides:"  Now, I can't find that and have no idea how to change my printer to default automatic double sided printing.  I found how to set it to default to manual two-sided printing (undesirable), but that can't be the only option???

    Sometimes Windows include the driver for your device, but it's a generic driver that might not give you all the features of the printer. I forgot to ask if you use Windows 7 x64 of x86, but you can choose the OS from the list using the link below and you should find the drivers from HP for your printer.
    http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DriverDownload.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=3673587...»
    You also have a auto detect button using the link below that should be able to detect you printer and find the correct driver.

    You might give it a try with the driver from HP and see if duplex printing works better. Please post back and let us know if this solved the problem or not.

  • 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.

    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 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.

  • 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 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.

  • Deskjet 930c does not do double sided printing with windows 7

    We have just obtained a new machine with Windows 7 and connected the existing Deskjet 930c via a usb cable.
    Under windows XP it was possible to select double sided printing and a prompt was displayed on the screen to turn the paper round.
    This is not happening under windows 7. Is there something we have not done? Or is it not possible any more.
     It does go through the motion of double sided printing but does not stop to change the paper.
    Any ideas anyone - we do a lot of double sided printing and we hav spent hours trying to sort this out.

    Please look at the HP Support page,
    http://h10010.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00098827&lc=ja&dlc=ja&cc=jp
    Unfortunately, I could not find an equivalent page in English.  This is for Win XP and Vista, but I checked
    that a similar logic can be applied to Windows 7, too.
    step 1 to 3 is to show property of the printer Deskjet9xxC.
    step 4 is to select device setting tab
    step 5: change "installable option" from "uninstalled" to "already installed"
    step 6: OK
    step 7: select print setting
    step 8: select layout tab, and choose either long edge or short edge
    that is all.
    In my Japanese Windows 7 environment, when I double-click the "HP DeskJet 930C/932C/935C" icon, there are three sub items appeared.  Two out of these three were used in the above steps.
    Please try.

  • 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) :

    </fname>
    </prn_grp>
    More importantly, I was also able to modify the hpcu1306.xml file to enable full 1200 dpi support, by adding the following prn_grp at the end of the "Print Quality" section (after the hp LaserJet 9040 prn_grp and before the closing "</feature>")
    <prn_grp models="HP LaserJet 1300;HP LASERJET 1300N;">
    <fname name="PrintQualityGroup" default="PQGroup_4">
    <option name="PQGroup_2"/>
    <option name="PQGroup_4"/>
    <option name="PQGroup_5"/>
    </fname>
    </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).
    The modified hpcu1306.xml file is available here : http://pastebin.com/6UxtcSaZ

  • 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!
    I worked on behalf of HP.
