Double Sided Printing with HP 8550GN

I have a question, I have two printers laserjet 8550 and I would like to use them for print pages double sided.  When I try to send a print job to the 8550 printer it tells me that I have manually pass the second side.  I thought that the 8550 printer is a duplex printer.  Am I wrong?

Ralph

Thank you.  The configuration has shown that the duplex mode has been disabled.  Went in and turned on and it worked.

  • Mac Double-sided printing with the new Adobe

    With the help of Mac Lion 10.7.3 with Officejet Pro 8500 910 has tried both Safari and Firefox.  With the help of Adobe 10.1.3.

    Print document is http://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/laus.pdf

    Have downloaded new drivers from HP (I think).  Using the button at the bottom of page printer, print double-sided does not appear.  There is no other way to print this document (unable to use drop-down menu to print or save file under).

    Hello

    It seems that there could be a problem with the specific PDF file.

    During the preview of the file, I got a blank page so either Firefox and Safari on my PC and my Mac, but it seems well using CTRL + P to launch the print dialog box.

    Otherwise, you can also try saiving the file to your desktop.

    Open it with Adobe Reader and try to print to instead use the browser.

    I could not see similar problems using Google Chrome, so it might worth a try as well.

    It will be useful,

  • Double-sided print second page upside down HP6700

    When I print 2 Facer, the second page is upside down. I looked for solutions on this forum and on the net, but nothing helped. I have installed new drivers, checked all the available boxes. The one I need ('turn page' or something like that) is not found.

    I have a new HP6700, to replace an old HP6700 which made duplex very well, but became old. Why is it suddenly so hard to make something of my old printer without problems?

    I use a MacBook Pro with OS X 10.9 laptop.

    I hope someone can help me.

    Hello Cheetah12,

    Thanks for your reply. In the meantime I discovered that the most important step is NOT to install the printer via AirPrint, but using HP6700. Only, then you have the possibility to click on the duplex option and install the printer with the 4.1.2 pilot.

    The solution mentioned by Roger2499 in the following thread has helped me tremendously, after a day of frustration!

  • 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 officejet pro 8610: double sided printing - brochure

    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.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8610: Automatic double-sided printing

    Lost my automatic double-sided printing - now it's printing of the front of the page and then he wants to get back into the tray to print on the back, which I never did before.  Please help me to get it back.

    The function "automatic detection" used by some drivers during installation does not always; make sure the driver knows that a duplex unit is present on the printer (assuming that he 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.

  • HP CP1025nw: Double-sided printing at Yosemite OSX

    I have a CP1025nw running wireless on our network. This printer supports printing double-sided pages recharge.

    Were two-sided printing with an air of Macbook OSX Lion V 10.7.5 running successfully. Recently bought a new Macbook pro of the retina, running OSX Yosemite V 10.10.4. He immediately picked up the printer and installed a driver which works very well but no double not back print. Boxes diaglog feel like just Word, PDF, Outlook, Safari or Firefox printing, not stay have the option of double face, or if it is visible, are greyed out and cannot be selected.

    Is this a problem with the version of the driver that has been chosen automatically by the Macbook/OSX?

    Ideas for a solution?

    I can always print duplex from my old computer.

    Hi Feeben,

    When checked the specification for this printer looks like it has manual Duplex via the software where you select, and then you manually turn the paper to print the second side. This is the option that you can reference to the which is grayed out.

    How is the printer connected... USB/network.

    Given the operating system automatically selected the driver, it could be the default AirPrint driver.

    Click the link and download the driver for printer HP V3.1.

    Now go to System Preferences > printers and Scanners > right click on printer and click Reset the Printing System(Note: This will delete all the printers under the printers and scanners, Do not perform at this point if multiple printers installed)

    If Reset Printing system is ignored then forts of the printer and click on the symbol (-) to delete the printer.

    Adding the printer:

    Click the plus (+) symbol, select Add printers and Scanners

    On the Windows Add strong printer from the printer

    Down in the section USE click on move to the bottom and select the printer Name (CP1025).

    Click Add

    Now, check if the manual duplex option is enabled.

    Thank you

  • How to disable double-sided printing on HP jet Office 6700

    I just bought a HP officejet 6700 premium for my iMac computer. I also installed Microsoft for my iMac. I don't want the duplex printer forever. I tried going to system preferences / printers, etc. and it directs me to the Web site of the printer. From there I can't find a way to change the default to double-sided printing to 'off '. What impression in Word, select print and then show presets, and it is said that double-sided are turned off, but still, it prints double-sided. I also tried to register a new printer with printing double-sided as off and it still prints double-sided. I also do not know how to change the default setting on the printer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi crayric,

    We gladly invite you.

    The above information refers to Mac OS X, however, I included the steps for the latest versions of OS X (10.7 or 10.8) because you did not mention the version of your operating system.

    If you have an earlier version of the OS 10.6 or 10.5, you may need to click the icon shaped triangle next to the name of the printer to spend the print settings in the print dialog box.

    For any question, please specify your exact OS version (you can find that out by clicking the Apple icon, then the about this Mac, also well let me know the exact Office for Mac version installed on your Mac (2004, 2008 or 2011).

  • LaserJet P1102w: Double-sided printing will not turn off

    Even if double-sided printing is NOT selected in the printer properties, printing all ask for double-sided printing.  So if I go to print a single page printjob, the computer asks to have the blank page that was 'printed' just to get back in the tray.

    How can I get this fixed?

    Hi @Skunkeeper,

    Welcome to the HP Support forum.

    I understand that you use a HP LaserJet Pro P1102w printer with a Windows 10 computer and when you try to print a single page, the printer ejects a blank page and ten invites you to put in the tray, so the second side can be printed, even if double-sided printing is not selected. I would like to help with that.

    This really looks like a software problem. I would like to start by running this HP print and Scan Doctor. It is a tool that allows you to diagnose and solve the problems of printing software and printer.

    Please let me know if that solves the problem, or if you need assistance.

  • 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.

    The function "automatic detection" used by some 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):

    Hi @Jayburn,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I noticed that the back comes out on top down, when duplex printing with your HP Officejet 6700 Premium, Windows 7. I am pleased to see that for you!

    Please, take a look through this guide, print on both sides of the paper (duplex printing) for HP Officejet Premium 6700 e-all-in-one printer (H711). Follow the instructions for Windows.

    Guidelines General double-sided printing

    Do not print on both sides of the following types of paper, or paper jams may occur:

    • Transparencies
    • Envelopes
    • Photo paper
    • Glossy paper
    • Paper lighter than 60 g/m2 (16 lb).
    • Heavier than 105 g/m2 (28 lb) paper.

    Several kinds of paper require a specific orientation when you print on both sides of a sheet. It's letterhead, preprinted paper and paper with watermarks and pre-perfores holes. The printer will print the first side of the first book. Load the paper with the top edge first and the side to be printed facing downwards.

    I hope this helps!

  • 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.
  • 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...
