When printing double sided, font is not clear on second side

Hi there, when I print double sided the printing on the back of the first page and the backs of all the pages come out blurred. I can make out the printing but I have to strain to read it.  Is there anything I can do so that when I print double sided, the printing on the back of the page is a clear as it is on the front of the page? This only happens during double sided printing, the printing on the front of the page or if I am printing single sided is clear and readable. 

Hi @anjema 
I have truthfully never heard of an issue like this before, but I'd certainly be happy to help. I wonder if the issue has something to do with how the paper is being pulled through the duplexer, perhaps cleaning the rollers might help.
Please use the following document for helpful instructions to clean the rollers; A 'Paper Jam' Error Displays on the HP Photosmart 7510 e-All-in-One Printer Series.  I know the issue is not a 'paper jam', but the steps in Solution 4 are cleaning the rollers
I hope this helps.

    Could you provide the community with a little more information to help narrow troubleshooting? Does this happen in only one application, if so what application? Is this a booklet style document?

  • Flipped even-numbered pages when printing double-sided from Preview

    My HP 2015dn printer has the ability to print double-sided. Yet I'm finding that when printing from Preview, the even-numbered pages are flipped 180 degrees. I can see the rationale for this, but I'd like to disable it and have the orientation the same for both odd- and even-numbered pages. There is a setting in the print dialog to "automatically rotate each page," but that is not what I want.
    Any ideas?

    That fixed it. The pdfs were rotated so that they would appear in landscape orientation on my screen (they're originally photocopies of side-by-side book pages). Well, now I understand the difference between short-edge and long-edge binding! Thanks for your help.

  • Extra margins when printing double sided

    I'm using Word 2007 and have created recipe cards using a basic recipe templete in Word. I have the top margin set to .25 and I'm printing on a regular 8x11 piece of card stock (I want to simply cut the sides and bottom down to make a 4x6 index card).
    However, the margin is printing at almost .75 when I print double sided. Any help would greatly appreciated! I've been working on this problem for two days and I bought the printer to print both sides.
    Thanks!

    Did you ever figure this out? Because my C309g changes my margins when I print double sided, and I can't find any info on it anywhere...!

  • Printer not prompting when doing double sided copies

    According to the manual, my Hp 7645 is supposed to prompt when to place the second original in the feeder when doing double sided copying.  Well, is not.  I've followed all the directions; checked all the settings, but the darn thing will spit out the first copy of the one I'm making and then pull it back in (even when I have put the second original in the feeder) and then spit the copy back out with no double side.  What is going on?  Any ideas?  Thank you for your help.

    Hi @Mariposa29 
    I can hep you copy 1 sided originals to 2 sided copies. Please place the pages that need to be copied on the document feeder, then in the copy menu be sure to select the 2 sided copy option and choose 1:2.
    Please let me know if this resolves the issue, thanks.

  • HP 4300 All-in-one not printing double sided

    Hello
    Here is my setup. I have a HP 4300 All-in-one printer set up on a network. There are two computers on this network, and XP and a vista. The printer is installed on the XP, and the vista accesses the printer via the LAN network (Wired, not wireless).
    Here's the problem: When, on the vista computer, I try to manually print on both sides, the only option I get in the "Print on both sides" option in properties is "off." However, on the XP I get the option to do it manually. 
    Is there anything I can do to enable the "manual" option on the vista?
    Thanks.

    I'm having the same problem expect with different operating systems and printers. I have a HP Deskjet D1455 that's wired to a laptop with Vista x32. I have another laptop connected to that printer wirelessly that has Windows 7 x64. On the laptop that's connected to the printer, I can print double sided with 4 different options. However, I cannot with my laptop that's connected wirelessly through printer sharing.
    At first, it looks like I can do it but once I select "Manual" it disappears and turns off. Any ideas?

    This function is related to the printer driver and the printer you use. If you do not give details, nobody can suggest a solution. Usually, the correct driver solves the issue.

  • HP all-in-one C6180 with a duplexor fitted that printed double sided under Win XP but not Win 7 32bi

    I have an HP all-in-one C6180 with a duplexor fitted.
    I could print double sided under Wimdows XP but have now upgraded to  Windows 7 32-bit.
    I have installed the latest drivers for the C6180 from the HP site.
    I cannot print double

    Can you please provide a patch or the latest driver with the Install option enabled please.

    You may need to enable the duplexer while logged in as a user with administrative privledges.  Alternately go to the Devices and Printers folder, right clisk on the C6180, Printer Properties, Security, and click the settings to allow "Manage this printer" for the user.

    Since I starting using my MacMini (2011 version) I have not been able to print double sided from my HP Photosmart plus - there is no option for this in the Printer dialog box as there was in the similar dialog box on my PC. How do I set up this option?

    1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
    OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
    Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
    Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
    Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
    Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
    How much free space on it now?

  • Not able to print double sided or into the mailbox of our "Canon Image Press C1" anymore

    Maybe someone can help me.
    Yesterday I noticed, that I am not able to print double sided or into the mailbox of our "Canon Image Press C1" anymore (InDesign Version 6.0.4).
    At the end of january I printed double sided the last time and it worked.
    Right now, I can choose "double print", but the system does not keep it. I tried with different documents already and it didn't work, so it can't be just that one file. Since everything works out of other programs like Adobe Acrobat or MS Word, it can not be printer bug; it's pretty much my impression that it must be a InDesign bug.
    So if somebody has any idea .... please help :-(
    Thank you in advance
    red witch

    Sorry that I forgot about the operating system, but I am new so you may forgive me about that ...
    I am working with a PC. Last week I was working in a document and suddenly the side window did not show the sides anymore. Our IT department took a file from my collegues PC and copied it to my PC, after this the sides where shown again. Since my colleque has got the same basic problem, I think something went wrong on the installation. I am not the expert with this installation stuff.

  • HP Deskjet 2540 Not Printing Double Sided Correctly

    I'm hoping someone can help me!
    I just bought a brand new HP Deskjet 2540 as my old HP Printer got thrown in the trash for blinking it's lights at me too much....
    So this new one has been working fine for normal printing, but when I try to print double sided, I follow the instructions and manually move the pages back in the tray as indicated, but it keeps skipping a page. So it prints the first side of the first page great, then it leaves the 2nd side of the first page blank, and then the rest of the pages are perfect (printed on both sides in the right order). This has happened exactly the same numerous times now.
    Please help!

    Hi @katie20 , welcome to the community
    I read about the printing double sided troubles you are having with your Deskjet 2540 on Windows 7. To me, it seems like there could be a driver problem or a software problem with the program you're printing from. Here are some steps for you to do to get started.
    1. Run the Print and Scan Doctor. This diagnostic tool will check for any conflicts that could be causing the issue. The tool will show you a report at the end. Please send me a screen shot of the results or write me back with the details.
    2. Print double sided pages from a different program, let me know the outcome and which programs you have tested.
    Also let me know how you have the printer connected (USB, Wireless, Ethernet)
    Thank you

  • Can you print double sided on a HP photosmart all in one plus e-B210a

    Hi, I hope someone can help, I'm having trouble printing double sided on this printer, does anyone know how this can be done.

    As best I can tell, this printer does not have automatic duplex printing available. You need to print the even pages, turn them upside down and reinsert them and print the odd pages, using Paper Handling in the Print dialog. You may need to print in reverse order when printing the even pages, as I recall. It has been a while since I had a printer without automatic duplexing. It is a feature which I insist upon.

  • Can't print double-sided on my HP printer (laserjet CP2025)

    I have owned an HP laptop and printer (color laserjet CP 2025) for about one year. When I purchased the printer it said that the printer was not compatible with Windows 7 - I did not know this before i purchased the printer. I had to reset my computer recently and now do not  have the ability to print double-sided.  The printer works but I cannot print double-sided unless I manually insert the pages.  I had the ability to print double-sided before I reset the computer.  HELP! this is the most frustrating experience and I am hesitant to purchase another HP product because OF THIS BAD EXPERIENCE.  When under warranty I was able to contact HP and received information on how to get the printer to be fully functional, I can't do that now.  Does anyone know how to get this function working? Please help.

  • How can I get my HP 6525 to print double-sided?

    When I try to print from a Word Document, I do not get the choice to print double-sided. How can I make that happen?

    Do you get an option for two-sided printing in other programs?  What is your operating system?  
    The driver may need to have the duplexer set as "installed", see the Vista/Win 7 Duplex Printing Troubleshooting Guide here.
