Hi Yotam,

If please try following the steps below and check if this can help:

1. check that duplex printing accessory has been installed correctly. To check this open system preferences and go to Print & Fax. Open the print to your printer queue. Click Printer Setup and in the tab menu choose driver. Make sure that the box next to HP printing accessory (duplexer) sides.

2. on the file menu, select print. The print window is displayed.
NOTE: The print window might be minimized. Click the blue triangle next to the name of the printer or on the button view details to see all the available parameters.

3. in the print window expanded you will find next to Copies the checkbox for duplex. Select the check box.
NOTE: If the check box does not appear in the specific application print dialog box, skip this step.

4. to select the connection type click the selection box below, listed as the name of the program (e.g. TextEdit)
Will appear as Copies & Pages within Microsoft Office applications.

5. Select the menu drop down.

6. set the duplex option as binding edge Long (Portrait) or binding Long Edge (landscape).

You can save the settings for later use by clicking preset > save current settings as preset. By default, a used preset will remain until another preset will be used.

Hope that helps,
Shlomi

  • Windows 7, can't print on both sides

    My work computer has been recently updated and now when I try to print on both sides so that the box is no more on my print controls.  I was able to do this with previous versions of Word and Excel.  Is there a way to do this? Also, when I go to the advance tab, I change the 'back print' to 'on', but it makes no difference. Help?

    Thank you!

    Probably, you have a generic printer driver and need specific driver from the manufacturer of your printer brand and model.  Since you don't say what brand and model printer you have, that's all I can tell you.

    Good luck.

  • How can I print on both sides of the software adobe reader on my mac

    I tried to print another document infact a page of e-mail, he gave me a double option face why can't print with adobe reader software?

    Hi dianah71252428,

    Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat allow you to print double-sided if your printer supports this feature. The printer driver controls the options, not Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader. Check your printer documentation to see what features your printer supports. (Double-sided printing is also called duplex, back to back, front and back, or double-sided printing).

    Refer to this KB document for help double-sided printing. Adobe Acrobat, Reader

  • 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?

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Hello

    As suggested in the post above, only available for the printer manual duplex printing.

    The accessory of the duplexer is designed only for he 6500 more than model a, it is not intended and cannot be used with the model 6500 a, as you can find below:

    Suitable only for HP Officejet 6500A Plus e-All-in-One Printer - E710n

  • Want 5660: Printing on both sides of a sheet

    I love the ability to print on both sides of a sheet of paper.

    I know that if I have a document that has multiple pages in can I print every 2 pages on a single sheet.

    What I have is several files, each a page definition, but I would like to select, say, 2 files and say: "Print on both sides" and it would print the first file on the file 1 and the 2nd side on side 2.

    > >... What I have is several files, each a page definition, but I would like to select, say, 2 files and say: "Print on both sides" and it would print the first file on the file 1 and the 2nd side on side 2...

    Each file you want to print, the printer driver generates a print job that is sent to the printer.

    The printer interprets the content of the print job and prints the requested page or images, then (at the end of the work), all incomplete pages are printed and emptied of memory.

    If the next job always starts on a new sheet of paper, regardless of the setting, simplex / duplex.

    The only ways you could accomplish what you want are:

    • Find someone to write you a customized printer driver who would take the content of the two source documents offered as input to produce a single output print job; even if you could find someone to do this, it would probably cost more than the printer (or several of these printers).
    • Merge documents two sources (Word, Excel) entry in a new source document, then print it.

  • Not printing on both sides

    After that my last windows update, my printer does not print double-sided.
    I already reinstalled the printer, which is currently installed with the name of the driver HP Officejet 7610 Series class, even though it is an Officejet 7612.

    The printer works, but it is not printing on both sides.

    What can we do?

    @HenriqueCanada

    Check this duplex is enabled:

    Control Panel > display icon > devices and printers > right click on the printer >

    Printer properties > ( generaltab: change properties) >

    the device settings tab > next to automatic duplex printing: select installed > OK

  • print on both sides, deskjet 2050 all-in-one

    Make a mistake? can help?

    Best regards

    Tommao

    Hi Tommao,

    The pilot allow you to print on both sides of the paper using the Pages to print feature. The same functionality provided by HP software full functionality as well.

    The application allows printing, open the print dialog box

    Click Properties to access the Printing Preferences dialog box.

    Listed Pages to print the odd pages only and make the print job.

    Place the printed pages face down in the ADF and make another print job by selecting only the even pages.

  • HP officejet 4630 will not print on both sides of the paper

    Unable to print on both sides of the paper. The backsideprints first, then wait for the ink to dry, front end starts to print then stops with a windows error message popping up on the screen saying cannot print the document.

    I found that I can't print multiple pages either. For example, I decided to print the document of 4 pages in the form of simple pages only (since double-sided would not work) and the results were first page print second page prints on a third, and then just stop with error message this printer cannot print the pdf document. If I had to select each separately page to finnally get all four printed pages. HP print and scan diagnosis says theres no problem. Windows diagnostics says there is no problem.

    Obviously there is a problem can offer advice and the solution?

    Thank you

    Kimoho

    To all,

    Thanks a lot for your suggestions. I would like to point out that the problem was solved and printer works fine.

    The solution is one of the two things?

    First, I opened the windows firewall and allows all applications and processes to pass through. There may be a few dozens of them, some have been verified and how some have been blocked. I checked all except those who started with 'remote '.

    Second, I went on the printer software and returned the IP address of the printer. It was the same as the IP address, but somewhere on the microsoft blog, I read that windows and routers sometimes lost the IP address. That's why I'm re-entered.

    I don't know which of these fixed the issue, but one of them did.

    Thanks again
