HP 2055dn: 2055 series car no longer double prints

automatically (manually) to print double-sided.  updated for win 7, is no longer automatically (manually) print double sided... of ideas?

You can check in 2 places-sorry I have to use a color lasjet 3700 as my example, and I also use windows 10, so my screen may appear slightly different than yours.

go to you the devices and printers folder in Control Panel of windows

Right click on your printer driver and choose the printer proerties. You can then check to make sure that the duplexer is recognized.

Once find you it, and it is enabled, click on apply, and you can also check the printer preferences. Find the duplex or two side printing option and make sure it is enabled or checked.

Sorry, the photo below looks terrible, but there is now a checkbox "print on both sides.

  • HP Officejet Pro K8600: HP Officejet Pro K8600 - is no longer connected, print - driver lost?

    DISCLAIMER: I understand that it is a large display. Please, please read it carefully before suggesting the diagnosis. While I'm not an advanced programmer, I am very computer and am usually able to solve minor to somewhat advanced questions. However, I've exhausted my knowledge and my skills to no vail here...

    CLARIFICATION:

    I use a processor 3 GHz Intel i7, 12 GB of RAM on Windows 7 Pro 64-bit (Service Pack 1) OS. My printer is a HP Officejet Pro K8600 - it is NOT an all-in-one printer. This is a printer large format, single tray. I have Avast Home Free edition runs on the PC as well as SBSD and widows firewall ACTIVE. In my Panel "Devices and printers", it also shows that I have the following 'printers' installed: Adobe PDF (copy1), Fax, Microsoft XPS Document Writer, PrinterShare, Quickbooks PDF Converter, QuickBooks PDF Converter 3.0 and send to OneNote 2010. Windows Update has been on 'Manual' which allows me to choose which updates to install and when. However, at some point during this troubleshooting - I for 'auto' changed, so I don't think there are a few updates to Windows that has been installed automatically.

    Just for additional notation, I also use a double 4 operated by two NVIDIA graphics cards monitor display monitor. Not that it should be any problem because I use this configuration for some time. However, I was surprised to find that some software does NOT support more than two monitors. Very strange.

    SCENARIO:

    This printer is about 6 years old. It has been a great printer and I rarely had problems with it apart from maintaining normal jet ink and minor errors. I have been successfully connected to the current computer at least 2 years. Once again, never problems. The printer is connected directly to the computer using a USB standard cord - less than 12 feet long. Printer is also shared on the home network and I can usually print using my laptop in the network without any problems. Printer is on a shelf on the wall above my workstation.

    QUESTION:

    PART A: Two days ago, I was about to print a simple, small Photoshop CS3 PDF image. It is a daily task - size of the document was less than 11MB. The printer has not initialized as usual - I noticed that the light flickered.  But the printer is trying to print (print head not move not, does not feeding paper, no noises). So I tried to follow the standard troubleshooting methods by which is obvious - restart the printer. The flashing light has not disappeared. I have checked for jams, reinstall the carttridges and opened and closed all the doors - and then restarted the printer again. I also restarted my PC at the moment. Aware of the printer light continues to blink. I then the 'X' button on the printer while the printer power off and power it back up. This (I believe) ran a diagnostic standard and print a test page. Everything seemed normal on the print. Power led is no longer flashing. I have Open the printer only and cancelled all documents -removed something that was there. Schecked double for all other printers (I) with the documents in the respective queues - nothing found. Also noticed that the printer status is "Offline."

    PART B: Now, I decided to print a simple Word document. This time the printer did nothing. No sounds, no lights flashing and no movement of the print head. I decided that I was going to unplug the USB from the PC and plug it into another USB port. This caused Windows to try to 'install' the printer drivers - I assumed that they would be fair here. However, I got the following popup status of driver-

    This, of course I worry about. Again, I have anoccupant to print a regular Word document. Printer has not responded at all. So I checked the devices Panel and printers and found that the printer has been listed but showing "status: troubleshooting needs. I right clicked on the printer icon and clicked on "Troubleshooting". Then I got this-

    Then I clicked "Apply this correction" - which was not a "fix." Simply, she re-launched Windows in order to install the driver. Which resulted in the same popup indicating the status of driver install - but have not installed. I checked the policies of the printer to make sure that no documents were persistent. There is no document for any printer listed.

    PART c: Now, I go to support and download the section of the HP Web site for my printer model. I have download the latest package of driver/software for my version of Windows. Once the software installation begins, it ends up by asked me to unplug the USB for my printer. I did it. Then later in the software/driver installation, it asked me to re - connect the USB port of the printer to the computer. I did it. Installation window has detected the printer, and a second course contextual view displayed between PC and printer - steps 1-6. The process seems to hang on step "5 of 6". Then I finally get it.

    The 'help' was not very helpful here. Basically 3 options:

    1. Make sure the device is connected to your computer and turned on. Click on the "< back"="" button="" to="" try="">(I tried this - even doesn't have a result). "
    1. If the configuration of the device does not complete, some hidden configuration commands will be over. Click on the "< back"="" button="" the="" wait="" a="" few="" minutes="" for="" the="" device="" setup="" to="">(also tried - waited 10 minutes - still not)."
    1. If the problem persists, check the troubleshooting section in the Readme file, located on the CD-ROM. (printer is 6 years old. I don't have the CD. At installation of this download. If it was not very useful).

    So I you click on "next >" and received a message that basically says that the installation was a failure and I should try again or contact support manufacturing.

    PART D: I found an article on the forum to Support HP here: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Install-Setup/Officejet-Pro-8600-driver-not-installi... I followed BharathKumarK's long troubleshooting suggestiondid everything exactly as shown. No problem is. This does not solve my problem. I again ran MSCONFIG and passed my services and selections start back as they were before this troubleshooting. Once again, restarted my PC and started searching on Google and HP for more responses. Printer was still in "Troubleshooting" in Control Panel devices and printers (as in part B above).

    PART e: I found an article on the Forum of Support HP, who suggested to use the "HP Print and Scan Doctor" to solve problems. I have downloaded and installed on my PC. The program Ran. It considers the K8600 printer and I clicked to move forward. Then I get this message-

    I know by the failure of installation described in the PART C it was true - thank you for what is obvious. At this point I quit a job for a whole day solve this printer. Then... of course I click on 'Get Installer' -knowing full well it's doing nothing, most I've tried to do. Yet, I'm still as advised. Download the driver/software package. Followed the steps - even ONCE got to 5 from step 6 and hook - finally showing all the same mistakes as in PART C.

    PART f: now I'm suspecting there may be cord issues. I have a HP Officejet H470 in the closet. I have it pick up and borrow the very short USB cord of this printer. It is a USB cable that is supplied with this printer. I have disconnected the K8600 current USB cord and plug the borrowed cord -it was too short to reach my office upstairs. So I put on my laptop. It is also a processor 2 GHz Intel i3, 6 GB of RAM on Windows 7 Pro 64-bit (Service Pack 1) OS. I have connected the printer to the laptop. Open an regular Word document and print. It successfully to print! I thought I had found the question - faulty USB cord! # Because of the way that the printer is on the wall and the cord is so short, I had to unplug the laptop USB to the laptop. Now, I come back and try printing another document I needed - I think that it was something from the internet. I pick up the laptop and Plug the printer into the laptopSend the print job, printer sounds like it is about to start printing and then... nothing. The printer power light begins to blink. So I tried the same basic troubleshooting - restart the printer, by restarting the laptop... etc. I have to unplug the printer from the laptop. Finally, received the fire of the printer goes in now the key 'X' on the printer while the power on the bike. For the moment no diagnosis is printed by the way. Now I Plug the USB into the laptop. Windows picks it up and tries to install the drivers... as in PART B above. Now I'm back in the vicious circle of the same question on the laptop troubleshooting. Which I followed the PART Aand PART B , PART C... .the everything with the same failure.

    PART g: Now I'm frustrated beyond comprehension. It's day 2 of troubleshooting! I need to get back to work. I decided to leave the only K8600. I have to turn on the HP Officejet H470 mobile printer. I plug in the laptop - as I still need to print a working document. Windows picked it up and I got the Windows Installer popup of pilots. Got EVEN COULD not install driver message described in PART B!

    BOTTOM LINE:

    I need a printer. Printers that I have in my office are now overpriced paperweight. I don't know if it's printer problem, cord issue, Windows 7 problem or USB port problem... but I need help. So I spent all the morning writing this as detailed as possible, in an effort to last stitch to beg for help! Someone at - it still reading this? I swore if someone suggests one of the steps I've already tried... I think I'll hit the roof!

    Thank you

    @John_Getzke

    Your last solution doesn't work anymore. HOWEVER... I have found the solution in an IMPROBABLE PLACE!

    Was this morning in Microsoft Excel and clicking on enter far into my stats in morning, and strictly out of habit, I clicked to print. It gave me an error message that I had never seen. (photo here)

    So I googled "error message 'The domain Active Directory Service is currently unavailable'". I came across a Microsoft support forum: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-networking/when-searching-for-a-printer-i-get-error-the/e3681f75-93bc-4779-88e2-dd0e5192202a

    Someone on this forum (several entries) suggested something on Notepad.

    I thought that "it IS STUPID! IT DOES NOT WORK! "But what the 7734... I'll try it anyway... IT WORKED!

    SOLUTION

    1. open Notepad.

    2. under file > print.

    3. click on "add a printer".

    4. a pop-up window displays and asks if you want to set up a LOCAL or NETWORK printer. (Mine was LOCAL)

    5. Select the printer port (mine was USB001 (virtual printer to USB port))

    6. you continue and gives you choices for type of printer on the left (IE. HP, DELL, BROTHER, etc..) (Mine was HP)

    7. on the right, you select the model of your printer. (Mine was HP Officejet Pro K8600)

    8. click Next, and a prompt QUICKLY introduced me with (over quickly) status bar and went to options "Printer Name" and "printer sharing."

    9. the last prompt allows you to "print a test page.

    I clicked on the test page printed and was SUPER HAPPY here my printer immediately start printing! Boxes printing and notebook. I went back to my Excel file. Clicked on print and VOILA! Print like a charm!

    I really hope this helps someone else out there. I wish I could tell you why it works or what was stopping Windows and HP of the installation of the printer, but at this point, I really don't care. I CAN PRINT AGAIN!

    Thank you John for trying to help with this problem!

  • HP Deskjet printer 6700: Duplex is enabled but I can't always double print side

    Hi - I have been using the printer HP 6700 on a PC for the last year, printing options have always been very simple to follow, with menu drop-down offering different options such as printing side single, double side, short/long term etc. of boxes. I recently bought a Mac, and as a new user I must say that I find it extremely frustrating to do the simplest tasks on it.

    My problem right now is that I see no option to select double side printing when I want to print a document.  I have installed and uninstalled several times, tried all the things suggested in various forums online, including do not select the print option to fire air upward, and even though I selected the option copy double-sided on the setting of the page (which was not available when I installed with air printing option), my documents are still printing single-sided and no option is provided at any time during the process of print selection.

    Please help it's driving me crazy, I spent 2 days reading various things to try, and nothing works - I'm regretting buying a Mac, they seem so much more complicated than anything do on a standard PC.

    Hello Drakster - coincidentally I think that I managed to untangle why I couldn't see the box "Show details" which allows the possibility of two-face.

    Today I had to download a document in PDF format on the internet for printing, when I click on the PDF file, it gave me the option view details that I used to double side of the document, it also gave me black and white, project and printing color option.

    I have while I would try to print a Word document by clicking on the? Box in PDF format in the left corner of the box of the impression, when I went back to file and chosen the option to print again while in PDF mode, I got the box show details appears.

    Here is the process I have applied, I tried only in Word it is the program that I need for most next double printing of: (PS. "I never got the chance to figure out how to turn the capture into a JPEG of the screen but will continue to try, as a newbie to Mac, I spend a lot of time to learn to do what seemed like simple functions using my old HP PC).

    ' Print double side and/or bl/wh -click on file, then print then the left button down PDF, select 'opens in PDF mode', then click new file and print should be displayed at the bottom on the list option, click on this and you will have then retrieves the options on the right of the double screen side nex to the option Copies (check the box) and click Presets to choose bl/wh or color printing options.»

  • PSC 2510 double prints the left margin - transport stops

    Hi, my 2510 double print the left margin so as to look as if the letters are ghosts, now it started to leave a wide width of letters about an inch from the left margin. At the same time, he will start a print job only to have the transport stop about 1/4 of the way, I have manually position the carriage to the position of Park - the menu says so is printing - it is not. I unplug the AC for 10 seconds and when I reconnect the printer resets and continues its merry way, until at the latest.  Thank you Kent

    You probably have a buildup of ink on the MICR band used by the printer to tell where is the transport.  Gently clean the Strip as shown here.  Don't forget to respect the warnings, if you do not you may damage the delicate MICR band.

  • LaserJet P1102W: Computer is no longer grateful printer

    My computer won't recognize is no longer my printer.   The printer is connected by USB.   I've tried change the USb port and you use to a diffferent cable.

    Hey there!

    Finally, blue light should stop blinking as this light means the printer is trying to connect to a network. You can try a reset (see below).

    Turn the printer off, press and hold the wireless button and cancel (x button) while turning the printer on and do not release both buttons until the printer stops making the noise.

    Afterwards, you should be able to connect, follow the steps in the guide I posted earlier and also try suggestions "other steps to try" .

    If you are still unable to connect, contact HP directly to discuss a replacement printer. I'll leave their details below.

  • The desktop printer icon is no longer shows printer or scanner-controls specific to the

    I have a DeskJet 3050 a J611g all-in-one. I use Windows 7 64-bit.

    Normally, when I doule - click the icon for the printer to my desktop, I get a window that shows the image of the printer and the HP logo at the top with several printer options and specific scanner click on below, for example, to start an analysis.

    A few weeks ago, at the top of this window, I received a message, without doubt, windows, that said that there was an update (or development?) for the printing software, and I want to install it. I clicked on OK, something got quickly downloaded and installed, and this beautiful useful window transformed into a window printer Win7 pretty generic. The printer and scanner-specific options or hp disappeared. I always get the picture of the printer and the hp logo, etc., but in the lower part of this window all I see the following options:

    HP printer Assistant / see what's printing / Set Preferences / customize your printer.

    In addition, by clicking or double-clicking on "HP printer Assistant" does nothing. I can no longer start a scan in this window, for example.

    The desktop printer icon is a shortcut to a program ('C:\Program HP HP Deskjet 3050 a J611 series\Bin\HP Deskjet 3050 a J611 series.exe') which seems to do nothing useful.

    I tried to remove and reinstall the printer software, nothing helps.

    I have downloaded and run the HP print and Scan, ver 3.0 doctor. He detected no downside. Finished, I tried to click on this icon to the desktop printer, and, hooray, I got the correct window with specific options that had disappeared. Great, I thought. I was even able to start a scan of this window. But I could do it only once. Subsequent calls to this program took back me to the generic window. And re - run the doctor no longer curative effect, that it was the first time.

    Everyone knows about this problem? I don't do anything fancy, and I'm quite technical and detailed. I do not know how to begin to understand what happened after I agreed that puts the printer software.

    I answer my own message to indicate that the problem has been resolved, at least for me. I found other threads that describe the problem I have, and one of them said there was a new version of the software that solves this problem. I found it, downloaded and installed, and indeed, the issue is resolved. I'm surprised HP Update did not find the new version, but SpongeBob... Thanks HP for having published the new version of the software.
