8500 A910g: double sided printing no longer works on 8500 A910g printer using Mac

Can someone help - double-sided printing stopped working on 8500 A910g printer using Mac?  I used to be able to toggle the menu layout on the printer, but now it is gray out and one side only the default

Thank you, Rob

Hi @robgit,

Please check back with the results of your efforts.

You may need to configure the automatic duplexer in the HP printing software.

Discover sone of the procedure described in this document - printing on both sides of the paper (duplex) (OS X). Note: This model of printer supports automatic duplex printing. Scroll down to "How do I duplex automatic if my printer takes in charge?" in the FAQ section.

Please let me know if it helps.

Thank you!

  • HP 2549: HP 2549 and Mac OS x: double-sided printing does not work

    Hello!

    I just installed this printer on my Macbook Air and I cannot print double-sided. I tried by USB / wireless (in the case where there is a difference between the two) but no luck.

    I followed the advice in this post: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Install-Setup/two-sided-printing-no-longer-availble-...

    but I did not tab "driver". I only have "Général", "Levels of power" and "utility." I tried to delete the printer and then add it with HP 2359 and AirPrint not but that does not change.

    When I print a pdf document, double-sided printed is greyed out and I cannot change.

    What should I do? I already reinstalled the drivers on the HP Web site, I selected all the things that I can install it, but that has not changed anything.

    Thank you.

    Hi @blablaalf,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I see that two-sided printing does not work with your printer HP 2549 on Mac OS X 10.10. I'm happy to help with this problem!

    I assume that your printer is a HP Deskjet 2549, otherwise please reply with the exact type of printer you have. To find product/model number of your printer follow the instructions in this link. Find your model number of the HP product.

    Otherwise, if the type of printer you have. According to this guide, print on both sides of the paper (duplex printing). He said: this printer is not an automatic duplex unit integrated, you can always print on both sides of the page to manually reload paper in the paper after printing tray first to print on both sides of the paper.

    This is the reason why this option is grayed out.

    If you print on letterhead, pre-printed paper or paper with watermarks and pre-drilled holes, the printer prints first the front of the document. Load the paper with the top edge first and the side to be printed facing downwards.

    If please, try to add the printers printer & scanner, this time, click the use drop down and select the model of the printer default AirPrint option instead.

    Now check these settings and try to print a double-sided work again.

  • LaserJet pro M277dw MFP: double-sided printing

    Really frustrating! New printer, put in place and works well with El Capitan except I can't seem to find a way to configure for automatic duplex copy. Read all the forums, but the options do not exist with El Capitan! Can someone help me please?

    Hello

    You related to automatic duplex printing or copy? While your title refers to printing your description refer to the copy...

    Regarding printing, follow the steps below to automatically print double-sided print jobs:

    In the file being used to print click the file menu and select print.
    NOTE: The print window might be minimized. Press show details to show all available print option.

    In the print window expanded you will find next to Copies the checkbox for duplex. Select the check box.
    NOTE: If the check box does not appear in the specific application print dialog box, skip this step.

    To select the connection type click the selection box below, listed as the name of the program (e.g. TextEdit)
    Will appear as Copies & Pages within Microsoft Office applications.

    5. Select the menu drop down.

    6. set the duplex option as the binding edge (Portrait) Long or short edge (landscape) bond.

    You can save the settings for later use by clicking preset > save current settings as preset. By default, a used preset will remain until another preset will be used.

    About two-sided copying, the M277dw offer that duplex printing features, not copy both sides of a document original two-sides.

  • HP officejet pro 8610: double sided printing - brochure

    I'm trying to print a booklet from a pdf file.  When I print double sided printing pages in reverse.  Front of the faces of the page to the top and back of the page down.

    How can I get to printing, so that I can form a booklet?

    Hi @roza,

    I'd love to help you with your duplex settings. Looks like you will need to change the short edge binding on the long edge. I found something that might help with these settings: with long edges and parameters of short edge duplex printing.

    I hope this helps.

  • OfficeJet 7612: Double-sided printing

    I just bought this printer and the installation was pretty smooth.  However when I print double-sided, bound on long edge (and yes I checked and I followed the instructions) it prints the back backwards.  Can't seem to find a cure for this.  Anyone has any ideas please?

    Hi @MargoS1,

    Have you by any chance tried to remove the driver and add it again, or better yet, reset the printing system. Let's try the following approach to see if we can get the two-sided print job, as it should:

    Reset the printing system

    1. Click on the Apple icon ( ), then click on System Preferences.

  • HP Envy 4500: Double-sided printing

    I've had my printer for about two months now, and at the beginning I had no problem with printing. I was thrilled that the printer has the ability to duplex printing to save paper, but all of a sudden my printer is more two-sided printing even if the "meetings" are checked in the print menu that appears before printing. I would go to the bottom of this, because I prefer to take advantage of the features of the printer and save paper. Please let me know what I am doing wrong and advice to solve this problem, thank you!

    Collected has nothing to do with the double-sided, this means that when you print 3 copies of a document that is five pages long, it will print pages 1 to 5 three times instead of print page 1 three times and then page 2 three times and so on. Double-sided printing can be enacted in one of two ways. Either you select double-sided as an option when you go to print a print job, or you set the driver to duplex by default values. According to the printer model, you can also apply duplexing by telling the duplex printer all. It is model specific and you do not specify the pattern here, so I can't give you the exact details.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8000 double-sided printing will not respond to the control software #2

    Win XP Pro SP3

    OfficeJet Pro 8000 Wireless

    Does anyone know why Officejet Pro 8000 had control of double-sided printing, removed from the spec software?

    Does anyone know if there is a printer of this type which will respond to such control?

    UPDATE!

    ----------

    This printer is now works very well with total control on duplex printing. But how did this happen...?

    Two things have changed - well, maybe three.

    But first of all to mention another very annoying problem: wireless printer to my network connection always collapsed which was a double nuisance (23/06/2016 see also installing the driver wireless Officejet 8000 Pro says default gateway is 0.0.0.0)

    The road to happiness... I've finally updated my PC to a laptop HP Win7 (there is a problem with the laptop, but that's another story...)

    During the process of setting up laptop, I had to set up the network and add the printer. In between aid was a FAQ something like "the wirless connection drops regularly." What interested me.

    The fix was so simple - mychosen IP address has always been in the DNS range which was probably not very smart, but I didn't know any different. No one had ever mentioned before.

    The idea is to select an address in the static range IE outside the DNS. So I took a number x.x.x.249 and bingo!, a solid and reliable connection that is always there.

    Given the new laptop for download the drivers again. What went well and of course, the new machine is much faster.

    Anyway after a few tries, much to my delight I discovered that two-sided printing worked with auto rotation if I check the box. Printing a document like that I would see in portrate (horizontal spine) and read down the two pages, turn to the next page and the same thing at the end of the document. Or, if you use the rotation of non - normal mode - the printing orientation is 'normal '.

    It's a shame that it was necessary to buy a new laptop with a new o/s just to discover the problem by chance...

  • How can I print A4 borderless with double-sided printing?

    I have a HP Photosmart/premium printer and print booklets in Word 2010. When I do, the text and the photos come out compressed because the printer is put into a border on the right edge. I need to print without margins, but with duplex printing using A4. I get a message saying that these 2 are incompatible. How can I replace it? If I print in A4 without border, text, and pictures look correct (the same as on the screen), but I need to print duplex as well.

    Hi Katiepic,

    Borderless printing and double-sided printing is not supported at the same time. You have to manually duplex work by putting it into the paper tray to print on the back.

  • HP Color Laser Jet CP2025: double-sided printing disabled in Windows 10

    I just upgraded to Windows 10 and downloaded the latest driver for my printer. I can't find any setting of double-sided printing. Is there something that I am missing. I tried to download the Toolbox, but it does not work on a 64-bit computer.

    The function "automatic detection" used by some (Windows) drivers on the install (or update) does not always; make sure the driver knows that a duplex unit is present on the printer (assuming that a single is present):

    • For the instance of the printer in question, bring up the printer properties dialogue.
    • Select the device settings tab.
    • Make sure the duplex unit is set to installed and not installed.

    You will probably need to be logged in with administrator credentials in order to change the settings of the device.

  • Invalid double-sided printing on the HP Photosmart C6280 all-in-One (printer, Scanner, copier)

    On my 'old' computer (ca. 1974) the print mechanism duplex worked fine, but after that I installed the printer on my 'new' PC (Windows 7, 64-bit), the double-sided printing feature works not at all (although it allows me to print on both sides manually).  In order to operate as it did in the past, should I uninstall everything related to the printer before reloading the software?  Or do I have to reload the software at all?  Or what should I do?  I would like to know before taking any action, because I don't want to create problems for me or my computer/printer.

    The duplexer must be set to "installed" as described in The Vista/Windows 7 Duplex Printing Guide troubleshooting here.  You will not need to uninstall and reinstall the driver.

  • Horizontal stripes on the DOUBLE-SIDED PRINTING?

    Have you ever notice horizontal lines on the side front or back a page double-sided printing?

    This particular series is caused by ink printed on the first page is does not completely dry before going to the back. When the first page of traverse, the ink doesn't have enough time to dry the back of the page before printing.

    When the back page comes from print, the rolls of smear the wet ink and made streaks.

    The only way of all about this particular situation is to print manually both sides. Although it will be a lot of your time, it's a work around.

    Hope it will be useful to many of you.

  • OfficeJet7590 - Double-sided printed under Office2010

    Hello

    I have an OfficeJet Pro attached to 2 PC 7590, 1 PC connected by network 2nd PC attached via the USB port.

    Both systems are running:

    -Windows 7 64 bit

    -Office 2010

    -HP driver version 14 (OJProL7X00_Full_14)

    I mainly print duplex with 2 sheets per review page.

    If I choose "flip pages on the short edges", Word 2010 print only the last 4 pages, 1 page.

    I see the task in the printer display, showing all the pages to print. After the 1st printed page, employment disappears.

    If I choose "flip pages long edges", printing is OK

    I had this problem with Office 2007 (running on XP). In Office 2007, I had to choos to the printer driver settings. With Office 2010, this is done directly in Word.

    Is there a solution to this problem.

    Hello Lawrence,.

    In order to use the accessory automatic duplex, you don't have to set the Printing Preferences screen and not the word dialogue print.

    In Word, open the document, and then click file > print.

    Click the Preferences button located right after the selection of the printer box.

    Listed Automatic double-sided printing , and then click OK and perform your impression.

    If you unable to see the automatic option, check the duplex unit is installed in the pilot:

    Enter the control panel > devices and printers.

    Right-click on the icon HP Officejet series L7500 , and then click printer properties.

    Click the device settings tab and check that the accessory front marked as installed.

    If you want to set both sides as defaul, you can click on Printing Preferences in the context of the context menu, then define the two-Sided Printing and approve to set it as the default preferences.

    Please let me know of any questions,
