Impossible to print duplex on HP 6988

Hi all

I hope someone can help me.

I have a HP 6988 with a duplexer, and since I moved to Windows 7, I was able to print using the duplexer.  I'm at the point now where I will not buy another HP product, because it's been years since I was last able to use the duplexer.  Does anyone know if there is a new driver available, or fix or something that I can install to get my Duplexer for work.

Thanks in advance,

Thomas

Hi Thomas,
Make sure that the automatic duplex printing option is selected:

Enter the control panel > devices and printers.
Right-click the printer icon, and then click printer properties.
Click the device settings tab.
As installed in Duplex Automatic Two-Sided accessory and then click OK to save the change.

The duplex option should now AA.

Kind regards
Shlomi

  • Print Officejet 6000 occupies more of the page when printing duplex

    My printer is set by default to duplex print. Whenever I use my 6000 Officejet to print two-sided document printing starts just below it should be at the bottom of this page which he finished much lower than when printing a single page (from the same document).

    For example: if I choose to print a page only from multiple paged it document prints fine, exactly as displayed on the screen. However if I choose to print pages 1 and 2 then printing starts at about 5mm below printing and print finishing 15 mm below where it should be. There is no difference in the width of the impression.

    I understand that you are having problems printing duplex and I will certainly do my best to help once I have gathered a little more information

    1. what version of Windows or Mac do you have?
    2. is the printer connected via USB or wireless?

    4 what even happened if you disable duplex printing?
    5. He made it for all pages or just one?

  • 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!

  • LaserJet 1536DNf not print duplex

    I'm on Lion 10.7.3 and have a Laserjet 1536DNF MFP. I can no longer print duplex even if I select a double bond and long edge on the layout. I don't know when it started - maybe after the last update. As far as I KNOW, I have the latest drivers from Apple. All solutions?

    I checked this and the PPD file seems correct. At first, I thought it was the result of the 10.7.3 lion update, but now I don't know because I tried printing with my old laptop MacBookPro on Snow Leopard. Maybe the Lion update screwed a few settings in the printer? Thanks for your help.

  • OfficeJet 7313 will not print duplex

    Hello

    I bought the 7313 while working in Abu Dhabi.  It worked great, but suddenly won't print duplex.  I am running Windows 7 Professional.  My concern to uninstall the software and the download again is that it will cause an error with the printer cartridges.  When I got back to the Canada I had to spend 2 hours on the phone with HP for re - program the printer to take number of North American ink cartridge.

    If I install the driver, which is only available on the English site of the Middle East, he booted the printer to find the number of cartridge in the Middle East?

    Any help is apprectiated.

    Thank you

    Thank you.  Yesterday, I ran the doctor to print HP who finds an update was necessary.  The update fixed duplex printing and don't mess with my cartridge types.  So problem solved!

    Hello

    From my experience the alert only invites you for the margins unsupported and not by lack of support for Duplex printing are taken in charge by your printer.

    For duplex printing different margins used, click on continue to confirm the alert automatically changes the format of paper according to and printing should be performed.

    If you stil have a problem printing duplex, go to System Preferences > print & fax.

    Doublt click the printer, and then click the printer setup button.

    Make sure the duplex module is enabled on the driver tab.

    Please let me know of any other matter,

  • Help - I can't print duplex

    I can't print duplex using Acrobat Reader DC on my macbook. The mac has installed Elcapitan and I have the latest version of the CD player. I checked that I have the latest Brother printer drivers installed. can print double sided using other programs like Word ok. My printer is configured for double-sided by default. I tried to uninstall and reinstall Acrobat Reader DC but no difference.

    Solved. I already had the Brother printer to print on both sides by creating a new default setting. I solved the problem by changing the default setting to print on both sides - don't know why it worked but it didn't.

  • Photosmart 5524: 5524 Print Duplex

    Hi, I already bought HP Photosmart 5524. I had a problem with printing and double-sided scanning. After you print the first page, the printer pulls the page and it does not print. If I change manual double-sided printing option, the printer will work correctly.

    Hello, @marek30 - greetings!

    Welcome to the HP Forum! It is a wonderful location to converse with the community, get help and advice.

    I understand that you need to configure printing double-sided with your Photosmart printer.  Please follow the steps mentioned below and check:

    • Go to control panel - devices and printers.
    • Right-click on Photosmart 5524, then select 'printer properties '.
    • Select the tab "device settings".
    • Ensure that the "two-sided" is set to "Installed" rather than "Not installed" and save the settings.
    • Now, again give a right click on the printer icon and select "Print Options".
    • If a "Printing shortcuts" tab is available, select the option "Print on Both Sides" or «print double-sided (Duplex)»
    • If 'Print shortcut' is not available, click the "Layout", "Includes" or "Finishing tab", depending on which tab is displayed in your version of the driver.
    • Locate the "Print on Both Sides" or "duplex printing" menu or an option, then the option link or page flip depending on whether you want the document reads like a brochure or a Tablet and save the settings.

    That should do the trick. Let me know!

    See you soon

  • OfficeJet Pro 8500 A910: printer duplex option forget

    I have the duplex unit installed and that you have used successfully for some time.   Are some time I tried to print double-sided, but the option was not in the print window.  I went into the options of the printer and found that the duplex was not checked.  I checked and was able to print two-sided without problem.

    Some time later I tried again to duplex, and again once the option wasn't there.  I can reset the option, but very shortly after the OS 'forgets' setting.  Basically, I have to do every time I want to duplex.

    This was not always a problem.  It worked fine until a couple of months ago (and Mac OS updates several there).  I have two Macs connected over wi - fi for this printer and Mac have the problem.

    Hey @alhurley,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I hope you enjoy your stay here.

    I understand that you have a few options with the option of double-sided printing associated to your Officejet Pro 8500 all-in-One printer on your computer Mac OSX 10.11. I can help you with that.

    Here's how we should be able to fix this:

    1. Disconnect the USB cable if it is connected.
    2. Click your Apple system and print and Scan preferences icon.
    3. Hold down the command key and click the icon of your printer on the left.
    4. Click on reset printing system.
    5. Restart your Mac.

    Now connect the USB cable again if you removed previously. Otherwise:

    1. Go to the Apple preferences system, print, and Scan.
    2. Press the button "+" in the lower left corner.
    3. Select your printer from the list.
    4. In the box next to click on Airprint and select your printer from the list.
    5. Click on Add.

    One last thing to do now is click on Apple, updates of the system and all the necessary updates.

    This should fix the duplex printing option. If not then the next step would be to contact Apple as there is something weird is happening with your operating system.

    Please let me know if this solves your problem or if you have any other questions. If not, have a great week!
