Help! HP Deskjet 6980 print is no longer in duplex

I recently upgraded from Windows XP to Windows Vista and reinstalled the software / drivers for my Deskjet 6980.  Everything went well spent - it is printing without wire - but for some reason the automatic duplex printing function no longer works.  Even when I select the automatic duplex printing option in the printer preferences, it does not print duplex.  Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks in advance!

Vista can default the duplexer "not installed".  Go to the Printers folder, right-click on the Deskjet 6980, run as administrator, properties, parameters of the device and the unit installed duplex and duplex manual to disabled, apply, OK.

Kind regards

  • The deskjet 6980 printer model is compatible with Windows 7 Professional 32-bit update?

    I think the upgrade to Windows 7 Professional, 32-bit. I have a printer HP deskjet, model # 6980. This printer is compatible with Windows 7 Professional, upgrade? I also have a HP scanjet 2400, is compatible too?

    Hi harypick46,

    Yes, the drivers are already included in Windows 7 32 - Bit for the 6980. In regards to the scanjet I'm not find information about the drivers for that old of a scanjet.

  • HP Deskjet 6980: windows 10 + HP6980 to print YELLOW

    The driver for the HP Deskjet 6980 for Windows 10 mistranslates colors sent to the printer. It's what I use is the only new driver for this printer for Windows 7/64.

    Specifically, the YELLOW does not print at all - anything this spell either green blue. I tested this feature by printing two versions of color bars. Indeed, there is no yellow printing, and all the Greens are printed blue. And, Yes, I use new color and black cartridges, so no need to ask about it.

    I built a computer completely NEW with NEW hard disks and a clean install of Windows 10/64-bit via USB 3.0 drive. The only two things that the surplus of my old Windows XP system are the printer and the scanner (HP Scanjet 4370) which worked perfectly on XP system. The scanner has its own problems with Windows 10 and the HP Photosmart Premier does not work (but it is a different matter). I downloaded the new drivers for both devices.

    Apparently, from what I read on the site of HP, the printer or the scanner are supported any longer. I consider that very rude and unacceptable, especially since no appropriate replacement printer is available new from HP with good quality that I've come to expect from HP.

    All that said, is anyone know how I can get my printer to print YELLOW?

  • DeskJet 6980 and rt - no available driver windows

    I just bought a Microsoft Surface with RT

    I have a network HP Deskjet 6980 printer which I want to connect. The installation page using advanced printer, I can find the printer on the network and I would like the thought that the Surface must be able to download the drivers for the printer but instead, show up with a list of printers.

    Guess what, the HP6980 is not on and when I try to update the list of printers, it says that windows update is not available at this time, try again later. It's like that since last week.

    It gives me the option to install from a file, but where can I get a driver for my Deskjet 6980 ARM?

    Hello

    There is currently not an ePrint application available in the App Store Windows.

    You should be able to use the driver "HP Deskjet PCL3 class driver" which is stored in the operating system WinRT.  It is a generic PCL3 driver that should work with your printers Deskjet 6980.

    Hope that helps!

  • print wireless HP Deskjet 6980 and Mac OS 10.6

    I can't print wireless setup for my HP Deskjet 6980 in Mac OS 10.6,

    I can't find any software update and do not have my original installation CD.

    I scoured the help pages with absolutely no information for this specific problem.

    OK, it's going to be difficult because the printer is very old and 10.6 technically impossible to set up a wireless connection for your printer.

    With the printer plugged in USB, go to System Preferences > print & fax.  Click on the printer and then click «Options & supplies»

    See if you can find the button "see the printer page.  I doubt you can, but we will try.  If this does not work, your only choices are to connect the Ethernet printer to your router or to solve your original problem of sharing USB or get a new printer.

    Back to your original problem, fixing, share the printer make sure that printer sharing is enabled on two Macs (System Preferences > sharing).  Then, we will reset the printing on the Mac problem system:

    -Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
    -Right (control) click inside the box that lists your printers and select Reset Printing System.
    WARNING - This will remove ALL your printers!
    -Select the sign + to add again. Search for the printer, select it, and wait until the button 'Add' becomes available. Until it clicks.

  • HP Deskjet D4360 printer

    Help!  HP Deskjet D4360 printer is practically new out of the box - probably printed a dozen copies to date.  Ink cartridges are genuine HP and also almost brand new.  The printer has been used for a few months, which has never been a problem w / my previous 4360.

    Initially "printing" white pages; re-installed the software and provided a sample page in various shades of blue, with the "20" in the almost invisible centre.

    I cleaned and re - clean cartridges (basic and intermediate); aligned and re-aligned; calibrated and calibrated; primed and re-primed - to no avail.  With printing alignment, I'm not able to determine any # s in order to answer the questions about the visible lines least.

    Undertook to research further and was guided on how to print a 'diagnostic' page - the printer chatters and click on that it will do something, but nothing.  The instructions give no indication of how long to press the power & Cancel buttons, so from different eras have been tried.

    Also turned the printer off and restarted it about half an hour later--had no effect.

    I need to use this printer today - any of you experts can help me?

    Have you tried to install new cartridges?

  • DeskJet D2360: Deskjet 2360 - prints wrong colors, even if the test page seems well

    In 10 (64-bit) Windows, Deskjet D2360 prints the well test page, but the colors aren't any application (documents, photos...). Cyan looks like dark blue. Green also appears dark blue. I just updated the drivers from the HP website, but the behavior remains the same.

    The problem appeared after Windows 10 updates (January 2016 and later versions).

    Print and Scan Doctor couldn't fix it. Help!

    (Suggestion: If your printer prints the test page, why not propose an image file with what the test is supposed to look like.) This is useful especially to confirm colors. If I have a print test and see a few squares of color, how could I know if they are the correct colors?)

    After a long period of frustration, I found the non-professional magic solution:

    http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/inkjet-printing/printer-prints-wrong-colors-after-Windows-10-update/TD-p/5242565/highlight/false/page/3

    Print a test page with HP print and Scan doctor. Once the problem is resolved.
