• 2-sided disappeared from 2605dn preferences under Windows 7

  Fortunately use LaserJet 2605dn with PCL6 driver directly from HP for years under 32-bit Windows XP SP3.  Set up different shortcuts to printing and the default value for the front, duplex, color, gray scale type, paper, etc.  Everything worked well.

  Now migrated to 64 - bit Windows 7 SP1 and Windows could not find a PS driver for this old printer. Although I can still define 'Print task Quick Sets', I don't see a way to select a default value, and above all, I can find no longer any setting on the pages of printing preferences for duplexing vs unilateral.

  Although I can make choices single/double face directly in Office 2013 and Acrobat 11 applications, I can't find any way to print both sides of Firefox for this reason.  Have I not the incorrect printer driver, or is there another solution to this problem? -jclarkw

• HP Deskjet 2620 duplex printing option is grayed out

  I just purchased a HP Deskjet 2620, plugged into my desktop computer running Windows XP.

  In the Print Properties window / tab layout, options "Print on both sides" are all grayed out.

  So, instead, I try to use the 'Manual Duplex' box in the MS Word print dialog - it will print the first page, then a pop up tells me to put it back and reinsert it into the printer and press 'OK '.  What I'm doing.  But nothing happens.  The window disappears and nothing prints.

  Help, please!  I have problems printing duplex with all other printers...

  Thank you!

  Hello

  The 2620 Deskjet doesn't support duplex (auto or manual).

  Kind regards.

• HP C7280 not duplex print. Possibility to choose the duplex unit installed is grayed out.

  I am running Windows 7, 64 bit. The duplexer is installed and worked recently when printing a web page. That's why I know it works but I can't print two against any other time. I am not even able to choose the duplex unit installed in the menu options. all the drivers are up to date. In addition, they had a driver update that came out in 2010 for the duplexer and when I tried to install, I got an error saying that it was not compatible Windows 7. Any ideas?

  The duplexer must be selected in the desdcribed for Vista/Windows 7 Duplex Printing Guide here.

  I'm trying and who need to print via the option "Double" that appears under the menu of "Layout" drop down tab option, the option 'Double' however seem to be grayed out as if you are not allowed to use it.  I'm sure this isn't the case, I don't know how to unlock but I guess?

• HP photosmart b109a-m duplexer?

  Hi, I have the printer hp photosmart b109a-m and I also use a mac snow leopard

  I realized that my "double" option is grayed out and to allow that I should check the box "duplexer" under settings options of the printer driver but for the moment there isn't this option.

  I was wondering if this printer supported printing recto verso and what I need to install a new driver additional downloads online to make it able to do this?

  I installed everything on the CD it came with only.

  Oh, and also, is this the same as b109a b109a-m product?

  Thank you very much for your help!

  HELO BiancaDT,

• Vista / Win 7 Troubleshooting Guide duplex printing

  Some users have problems using the automatic duplex unit in Vista or Windows 7.  This guide addresses some of the common questions and provides solutions.

  No option to duplex print. The selection for automatic duplexing two may be grayed out, or only manual duplex is available.  This happens usually because the duplexer is not recognized as installed, or the driver can default to not installed.   To fix this in Vista do the following: click Start, Control Panel, printers, right click on the printer, run as administrator, properties, (continue), parameters of the device, Installation Options, switch to "both sides Duplex" installed, OK.  For Windows 7, the method is similar: go to start devices and printers, right-click on the printer, printer properties, together of settings, Installation Options, device the "two sided faces" to installed, OK.

  Back side Prints Upside Down. There are several possible problems that can cause the back side print backwards.  The first thing to check is the settings.  Generally, there is a checkbox in the 'Finish' tab or 'Features' to select 'Pages Flip Up' or maybe 'bind on the short edge.  You may find that some programs require this box to be the reverse of what you would expect.  I've heard tell that some Adobe products requiring the creation of reverse.  If changing the setting does not change the direction so you may need an updated driver or a fix.  You can check the website of HP heredriver updates.  Fixes for some ink jet models are available here.  This problem has been corrected in most of the drivers for Windows 7 but can still occur on Windows 7 systems that have been updated to Vista.  The patches for Vista works on Windows 7 as well if necessary. [Updated - HP has now fixed this problem in a lot of pilots.  Check here before I continue with my patches, the HP solution is better automated to install the hotfix].

  "Material duplexer is not installed". Some printers such as the Photosmart C7280 connected networks may incorrectly indicate that the material of the duplexer is not installed when you print two-sided pages.  By clicking on 'OK' will cause the pages to print correctly.  HP has released updates for the drivers to resolve this issue, see the HP driver page to see if updates are available for your model.  If your printer does not have an available update there is a work around which may help: some users have reported that installing the printer as a connected USB device, and then restored in network after the installation will fix the problem temporarily.

  Other questions. If you have other issues to print duplex on Vista or Windows 7 please post the questions as a response in this thread.  Be sure to note what printer model, how the printer is connected, your operating system as well as the details of the issue you are experiencing.

• HP LaserJet 5100dtn: 5100dtn HP does not print duplex on Mac OSX Yosemite

  Hello

  I recently bought a LaserJet 5100dtn. I work with Mac OSX Yosemite (10.10.3). I can't get my OS to recognize the duplex printing option. I have the duplexer attached to my printer, and I know it works because it printed a test page. I have the setting the paper handling > Duplex > WE * however, it keeps printing sided pages.

  The problem is maybe that my printer settings have "duplex" grayed out.

  

  I wonder if there is a problem with the printer driver? This printer is no longer manufactured (I bought mine used), then maybe there is a problem with the driver communicates duplex printing features?

  Any help you could offer would be great! Thank you in advance!

  Just post to say that I found the solution to this video on YouTube:

  https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=3KI6rfQ_PJ4

  The slight difference for users of Yosemite (this is an another OSX) is:

  Go to Printers & Scanners > click the printer you want to print duplex (in this case LaserJet 5100) > in the main window, click Options & supplies > leOptionsonglet > duplex unit.

  If you manually check 'Duplex' then 2-sided will not be grayed out when this printer is selected.

  Problem solved!

• Loss of duplexing with Photosmart c309g and Mac

  My HP Photosmart Premium c309g worked for two years with a Macbook Pro. Now running OS X 10.7.4. During the holiday season, November/December 2011, an update of the printer driver came through the update of Mac software. I installed it. Double-sided printing has been marked as disabled and grayed out in the page window view since then. It's OS several updates there, and the printer driver has been updated again. AppleCare recently tied to a HP page to reinstall the printer driver to date. The printer driver version is 3.3.3. I'm not happy I lost a feature that has been important in my choice of printer. Why so long to complain? I use a lot less often than usual to the printer.

  Hello

  I think that the option somehow removed from any update of the ASU.

  The duplexer is a device within the specific model:

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01842734

  We will try to remove the printer driver and then check any changes:

  First, reset the printing system:

  * Be aware that reset the printer system will eliminate any existing queue and reset all custom settings driver.

  Click on the Apple menu and then click on System Preferences.
  Select Print & Scan.
  Right click (or Ctrl + click) your product with the Printers list in the left panel and then click on reset printing system.
  Click OK to confirm the reset.
  Type your user name and password.
  Click OK. The printing system resets.

  Then, remove the driver files:

  1. From the Finder, open the Go menu and then go to the computer.
  2. Go to the library folder.
  3. Enter the fiolder printers.
  4. Move the HP folder in the Recycle Bin
  5. Under the PPD folder, delete all files starting with HP or include Photosmart.
     Be sure to remove only the files and keep the structure directory it's (Applicable for steps 5 and 6)
  6. Search for additional files from HP or include Photosmart in subfolders as well.

  Make sure the printer either talk by USB to your Mac or by ethernet at the base of the airport... plugging into the USB port on the basis of the airport is likely to lose this kind of functionality.

  Now, restart the Mac and go to System Preferences > print & scan

  Click on the sign more and add the printer... drivers will be reinstalled automatically Apple server.

  Please let me know if this is useful,

• Mac OS x print duplex LaserJet Pro 200 M276nw

  I recently bought the HP LaserJet Pro 200 M276nw understand that I would be able to do manual duplex printing. However, after reviewing the instructions in the manual and try to understand through various blogs I can't always manually duplex.

  The instructions say that I'll be able to select manual duplex in the finishing menu under Print... However, there is no such menu for me on any program and the "double option" is grayed out. Please advise otherwise I might have to return the printer to find something that will work with printing recto verso or auto manual.

  Hi wegotjoy,

  I see by your post that you are unable to print double-sided on your Mac.

  Check the name of the driver that is installed by the printer. Airprint driver could be installed instead of the printer driver. (usually by default, Airprint)

  Click on the Apple menu, click System Preferences. Click on Printers & Scanners, highlight the name of the printer on the left side and right side of the screen should display the name.

  If the name of the printer indicates Airprint, then it of the Apple drivers, remove it and add the name of the printer back in the list. Click on the sign - to remove the driver and then click on the + sign to add the driver might have to drop-down list to select the name of the printer to add a click.

  

  

  Now try and print both sides.

  On the file menu, click print .

  Open the final menu and click the Manual Duplex or open the Manual Duplex

  menu.

  Click the Manual Duplex check box and select a binding option.

  Click the print button. Follow the instructions in the pop-up window that appears on the computer

  screen before the battery of exit in Tray 1 to print the second half.

  If the problem persists, then download and install the printer driver to see if that will solve the problem.

  Printer HP v.2.16.1 for OS X drivers.

  What operating system do you use? Mac OS X: how to find which Mac OS X Version is on my computer?

  What is the printer name show?

  Please provide detailed results if you're still having problems.

  Have a wonderful day!
  Thank you.
