I am told that my 6500 a - all-in-one - can't print on both sides of the paper. Is this true?

I just replaced an old HP 840C with the 6500 has and can not find a way to make 2 sided.  After 1 1/2 hours on 'live chat', I was told that this model can not do this.  If so, it is totally amazing and will result in my black-Linting total of HP products in the future.

Is anyone aware of this?

Hi Bob - after almost a year, I'm finally back with the same problem-no duplex option.  Did you ever find another driver that works on the 6500c and will offer the duplex option?

Sorry Jerry, I was never able to get copy double-sided working on the Officejet 6500.  It seems that the firmware of this device does not print duplex commands, even if supported a driver that supports duplex printing is used and a duplexer is attached.

  • My Officejet 6500 E709 all in one will not print black.

    My HP Officejet 6500 E709n all-in-one will not print black.   All other colors work very well.  Have you tried what follows - new black cartridge installed, ran the print heads clean utility, made sure the wind was compatible black ink cartridge, turned printer off and restarted.  Print tests still not print black - other colors and images to print, but not text black or shades of black in images.  Any suggestions on how to fix or what needs to be repaired?  Thank you.

    Hi jim: I just had the same problem a few minutes ago. After having gone through all the troubleshooting steps, I realized it was all just a bad cartridge. The PIN on the printer heads were not reading the new cartridge, so nothing in black print could be printed. I installed a new black cartridge and I could resume my printing projects. I then contacted the HP store directly to report the faulty cartridge while they could send me a new, that I won't be out of pocket for a cartridge I bought directly from them.

    Hope this helps you with your problem.

  • HP C4280 all-in-One will not print photos on any HP photo paper

    HP C4280 all-in-One will not print color or B & W photos on photo paper.  Color and B & W photos on plain paper prints.  It is used to print normally on all documents.  No change, I am aware of cause this malfunction.  Any suggestions?

    Open your printers folder and right-click on the printer and review the printing preferences. Set the media media photo here and in the application you are printing from. When you say that it will not be printed on photographic support what do you mean... the page is white? the quality is bad?

  • HP Photosmart C4180 all-in-one: can't print or scan

    When I want to print or scan the message "cannot print or scan" and "Scanner failure" happens...»

    When I try to print the document will go to half way and then stops, same message arrives...

    If I want to download and print something good, the printer works!... but again if I try to scan something then it does not work...

    It happened all of a sudden, the printer and the computer have also worked well until this happened.

    I may be low on ink, two symbols like a candle flame, are at the bottom left screen, but a copy or scanning must always be possible even if faded, or...?

    Tried unplugging everything, but no luck...

    Can anyone help? Thank you..

    I am an employee of HP

    Since you said you the error message scanner failure, first try to make a copy and see if the belt scanner moves (moves the light) while copying.

    If the light does not move that it's hardware, you will need to service the printer please call hp tech support.

  • Print on both sides, Deskjet 2050 all-in-One J510a

    Hello

    I have a Deskjet 2050 All - in - One J510a and I just realized that I can't manually print on both sides simply because this function does not exist on the print menu in the Properties window.

    So, how can I print on both sides?

    Thank you

    Gil

    So I guess I should be a REP from HP because these guys are not answering the question? If you go under Printer Properties Advanced there is an option to print only the even or odd, pages print the odd pages first and then put the paper in the printer, go to print click on main pages and bam there you go.

  • Photosmart premium 3-all-in-one does not print black ink

    My C310 series 3-all-in-one hp photosmart print no black ink on the page.  The cartridge is new, and all ink cartridges are full.  The printer is 3 years, just one month out of warranty.  I downloaded all the updates, I'm sure and went to the website of hp troubleshooting page.  I followed all directions, twice and still no black printing.  Please help, I don't want to buy a new printer!

    Under Tools, I see only "Clean cartridges" not "clean print head."

    When I chose "Clean cartridges" twice, black ink printed!  Hooray! Once I have this post, hopefully get back to the page to say the problem is "solved"!

    Oh, while I have you on the line, while the cartridges were being cleaned, I got a message saying that I had to download the latest hp drivers, because those I have is not compatible with this version of Windows.  However, I download the latest drivers for 8.1 from your web site when I had a terrible paper jam.  After that I downloaded the latest drivers, this problem has been resolved.  But, given that I get this message re incompatibility, I need to re-download?  It was only a couple of weeks (up to three) that I downloaded the drivers.

    Thank you once again!

  • HP 6500 e709n all-in-one prints several pages

    Hello

    just recently bought a range of all-in-one hp 6500 e709n printers and ocassion the printer allows you to print multiple copies of the same document.  Most of the time, it will print 2 copies of the same document when only 1 was an option.  The other day that he printed 5 copies of the same document when only one was an option.

    printer is configured as a network printer on its own with its own ip address.  without wire is not used and the print server is not used because the printer has the capability of integrated network.

    I checked all the settings of the printer, in the printers properties on the computer, etc., on all printers in accounts is configured to print only 1 copy of a document.

    Why is it just print multiple copies?

    How can I solve this problem?

    Just lose the paper with this printer and I am not happy with that.

    Thanks in advance for your help,

    Mark

    I'm sorry and apologize for my previous answer.  I did not know that is your signature and it takes as a response to me to ask my question.  I was really confused because I thought this forum was for help and the experiences of the person on the other.

    Your reply to disable bidirectional printing seems to work.  Did not have the duplicate at the moment.

    Thank you very much for your help

    Will mark the post as solved.

    My HP Officejet 6500 Wireless only all-in-One does not print from my main computer. I can scan from this computer and print them from others. I uninstalled and reinstalled the software and drivers, restarted the queue, run the scan doctor and get error error unknown/deviece.  I have disabled the firewall unplugged abd and repluged the power to the printer.

  • My HP Photosmart C5180 all-in-one will not print text correctly in black, color print very well.

    My HP Photosmart C5180 all-in-One does not print black without be eliminated text or streaks in the text. Will print fine text color.

    Have tried all the "patches" you list and much more. The printer prints fine on my old PC Windows XP and worked fine on my

    new PC using Windows 7 until recently.

    Please don't tell me to... Reinstall, download the new driver, install the new cartridge, clean align the print heads, different paper or go to 'solutions '... Etc... Etc.  I HAVE ALREADY BEEN THERE AND DONE THAT!

    Everything you "patches" end with 'the unit of service... " WHAT IN THE WORLD WHAT THAT MEANS!

    This has been a nice printer for more than 5 years, but is somewhat glitch spoil me when using the BLACK INK?

    Gordon,

    Thanks for the reply, expecting not one, but what you say is all that we need to buy another printer if we did all the "fixes", etc... etc. you know that take a printer to a repair shop will cost more

    then buy a new one.

    It was stupid of saying me to check on the warraty of HP page when I already told you that the unit is 5 years old.

    But don't thank you for the reply... even if it was a joke!

  • OfficeJet 6500 a: how to adapt a HP Officejet 6500 has so we can print on both sides

    Hello dear hp team

    I have a HP Officejet 6500 has more that color print on both sides.

    Now, I have only a 6500 a which initially can print one side.

    I changed the room in the back (I put the piece of the 6500 has more printer) so that mechanically, he has the ability to print also the two sides.

    Now how do I program the printer so that it detects that he now has the ability to print on both sides?

    Thank you for your reply and sorry for my English mistakes.

  • All-in-one OfficeJet J5780 printer does not print manual duplex

    Hi all

    first of all, sorry for my bad English; I'm Italian and the Italian Forum, I can't find anything that can help with my problem.

    I use my old (and wise... ;-)) OfficeJet J5780 on my laptop with MS Windows 7 SP1 64 bit for years without any problem. In particular, I use the option to manually print on both sides; This means that, once selected this option, the printer automatically prints odd pages in reverse order, and then a pop up tell me to take the papers printed, rotate and load them again; then I click OK and print even pages in the right orders.

    Suddenly after any event special, for a few months, or even I select this option, the printer prints the odd pages and then nothing happens on my pc, no pop-up window appears, the printing process remains in the coil and I can not the printer to print even pages too. The only way is to remove the process, clean the spooler and restart it.

    I also installed the latest version of the drivers and all of the full package of the HP software, but the problem is still there.

    As a solution, I apply manually print the odd pages in reverse order first, then same pages, but it's really a mess...

    Could someone help me?

    Thank you very much.
