OfficeJet Pro 8100 Duplex printing problem

• OfficeJet Pro 8000 duplex printing problem

  I use this printer with my MacBook Air.  I have the duplex unit installed correctly in the printer.  The 'two-sided printing accessory (duplexer) HP is checked in the system preferences - Print & Scan - pilot.  That being said, I don't see an option for double-sided printing.  I go to the file menu and click on print.  I select Copies and Pages in the menu dropdown.  I think I should then see an option for double-sided printing.  The only options available are:

  -Layout

  -Color matching

  -Paper handling

  -Cover page

  -Paper Type/quality

  -Advance printing options

  -Feeding levels

  I did something wrong in the Setup program, or is the procedure I use wrong?  How can I get the operation of duplex function?

  This is the only printer that I have, so there is no confusion here.

  Thank you

  Have you tried the layout in the menu drop down menu?

• Re: HP officejet Pro 8100 will print from an Iphone, but not from my windows laptop

  My OfficeJet Pro 8100 print wireless to all laptops and tablets, but not of LENOVO Y530 my wife, under VISTA Home Premium, 64 bit OS.

  I've been on the LENOVO site and of course, it didn't help.  There seems to be little help here as well and I have been unable to determine what needs to be done or downloaded for this laptop.  Can provide you any assistance?

  Thank you

  Hi @bugaloo and welcome to the Forums of HP!

  Have you installed a software?

• OfficeJet Pro 8600-duplex printing upside

  Help! I finally got the two-sided print job, but second page is upside down.

  Hi Nana50

  It seems that one of the parameters must be changed. Use the following link to adjust settings to print on both sides of the page without side being updated down. > Print on both sides of the paper (duplex printing)

  I suspect that you currently have selected short edge binding, you will need to choose binging long edge.

  If you want to see an example of both take a look at this video > 2 sides print Long Edge against short edge

  I hope this helps. Please let me know if that fixes the problem, thanks.

• Officejet pro 8100 chart printing issue...

  Hello

  I bought a HP Officejet 8100 pro a few months ago, and I had trouble printing graphics on this subject. For some reason, no matter how I set the page to print, he ended up a very large part of the print image on a full page instead of the page I set out.

  The printer is connected to the network via CAT5 (NOT the USB) cable, and I use the Officejet BASIC drivers.  The graphics are print sources - some are directly from a Web page, some are printing through Corel Draw or Photopaint (X 3), and I have the same problem that I print out an old computer from Windows XP or a Windows 8 pc brand new.

  For example, in the past when I would print a graph of Corel Photopaint (something I scanned), regardless of the size of the image (physical size or DPI), all I had to do was set the page layout in the control panel of the printer to print as indicated or adjust α page and the printer would print it as it would look in the "Print preview" pane   But now it only prints part of the graph and print very large even if the size of the graphic is show less than 8 1/2 x 11.

  I tried to reduce the DPI of the image, but it does not help.  I usually scan at 300 dpi, but still reduced to 72 dpi file, does not help.  All what happens is the file prints the same very large size, but then is pixelated.  I also tried to reduce the much smaller physical size - say up to 3 'x 5', but it will not always print the full graphic.  It will only print on a 1/4 of the image and place it at the bottom right of the page.  And the printed area will measure 3 "x 5".

  There really scratching my head.  I looked in all the printers setting panels for something that could be an adjustment of the layout and change anything to even remotely suggest it would help, but can't find anything that would allow me to make the appropriate adjustments in order to print correctly.    I use HP printers for nearly 20 years and used all types (of Officejet, Deskjet, Photosmart, etc.), but it's the first one that left me speechless.  I like how frugal, is with his use of ink, but if I can't print my chart, his frugality is wasted on all pages of the curse.

  Print the note driver... I voluntarily has not installed FEATURES COMPLETE drivers because I know how intrusive, they can be and will install more things than I care to use or to have installed on my computer, so I prefer NOT to install these drivers, unless it's my only option to resolve the issue.

  Any suggestion would be appreciated.

  Kind regards

  Hello

  I suggest you do a hard reset with the printer.

  Hard Reset:

  Unplug the power cord from the printer and the wall

  Take out the toner cartridges.

  Wait for 30 seconds

  Plug the power cord into the printer and the wall (be sure that the printer is plugged into the wall and not a surge protector)

  Replace the toners/cartridges in the printer

  Let me know the results

• duplex unit is no longer an option in the print screen - hp officejet pro 8100

  I have a HP Officejet Pro 8100 that came with a duplexer. Until today, the duplexer has worked. Technically, I don't know that it does not work. But when I open the print screen in open office, adobe or any other program, it is no longer gives me the option to print double-sided. I have no idea what to do and there are no tutorials that explain how to fix this. Any help is appreciated.

  Discovered after trying to reinstall the printer software that because my updated OS updated to 8.1 of Windows 7, my printer is no longer compatible with my computer. Is - this ridiculous or what? I have messaged HP, so I have no guarantee so I don't know that they will refuse any product support. It's okay, if need be I will take my business elsewhere. I would not have to pay for support on a product that they have outdated on purpose. Companies used to be a quality product. Oh how times have changed. It is an expensive paper weight.

  @KKissmann, welcome to the community of HP

  I read your post and I would try to help. Your Officejet Pro 8100 is compatible with Windows 8.1, so we should be able to get through this problem. Maybe you've tried running the installation from the CD, which is perhaps not a Windows 8.1 driver loaded, what can happen and you need to download the driver online instead. We will eventually get there

  Please click here to access the full functionality of driver and software for Windows 8.1:

  Driver and complete software of HP Officejet Pro features

  Once the download is complete, run through the installation until it is completely finished. Subsequently, test print and check if you have the option to print double-sided.

  Let me know if you encounter any problems!

• OfficeJet Pro 8100: Officejet Pro 8100 printing problem!

  I've been using an Officejet Pro 8100 for about four 4 years or so and, recently, he stopped printing the color MAGENTA ink cartridge.  I ran to the printhead cleaning app more app of the alignment of printhead several times; but, in vain.  I also spent cartridges; also, in vain.   By local service organizations, I was told that I might as well buy a new printer as the cost for the service could be almost the same as the cost of a new printer.  If there is no solution for my problem, I've been watching the Pro OfficeJet 8210 as an alternative.  It would be a good choice?

  Hi @elbojon1

  If you are looking to buy a new printer Officejet Pro I recommend to check this link: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/ads/ink-decisionator/overview.html

  It is a decisionator tool to help choose which printer best suited to your needs.

  Depending on how you print, you might be interested in instant ink program. It is a subscription model where you pay the same monthly price and receive replacement cartridges according to your needs. It is cheaper than buying a new cartridge every time. Here is a link for more details: https://instantink.hpconnected.com/us/en/r

  Eligible countries and the printer models are described below.

  

  

• HP officejet pro 8100 not review or color printing.

  My 8100 Officejet Pro won't recognize color when you try to print from my pictures in Windows 8.1. I've done all the checks... ok of ink, grayscale printing is turned off, blackonly is disabled, deleted the program and resarted from scratch with disc supplied. The computer brand new from Chillblast and is very fast and up-to-date. All inks are new and full.

  It will print documents, pdf, etc, but I can't 'see' colors in my pictures, all the previews and print out black and white.

  The only thing is that I don't know what, if any, changes may be required in the part "Color management" Settings Advanced... any advice... Thank you.

  I just checked the download site pilot official HP and wireddrivers.com site and noticed that the number of driver for my printer Officejet Pro 8100 has changed!

  It was OJ8100_1321.exe... It is now OJ8100_1321 - 1.exe.

  I downloaded this driver and all is well in my world printer!

  I don't know if that was my question on this forum or my contacts a Microsoft technician, (which was useless and kept asking me to do things that I refused to do what I explained that I had already tried), but in any case, someone realized there is a software problem in the pilot and fixed.

  I will now post this as resolved to help someone else who search... Regards Kevin.

• More than a printer HP OfficeJet Pro 8100

  Hello

  I need to buy two printers wireless to use with an iPad.

  But the thing is: if I install TWO identical HP OfficeJet Pro 8100 under the same wifi network, how can I know that I want to print? In other words, my concern is that when I want to print a document using the iPad it will show two printers, but both with the name "HP OfficeJet Pro 8100". Having in mind that each printer is located away from each other in my house, I need to print under the right printer.

  Is it possible to change the name that appears on AirPrint so I can distinguish the two printers? Something like "Printer-Studio" and "printer-bedroom"? Or something that works somehow...

  Thank you.

  Pedrosacelso,

  It is possible to change the name of the printer, many customers buy more than one printer to a desktop environment and need to change the printer name to identify the printer.

  If you have problems with the above steps back on the support forums.

• OfficeJet Pro 8100: Lost my printer drivers (after a Windows 10 update)!

  Hello

  After the recent Windows 10 updates (one installed on Christmas day), I lost my (custom installed) to the printer drivers. No big deal I thought, ONLY MIcrosoft MOST inconvienience - I'll reinstall just them. But when I open the properties of the printer Panel, I found that ALL ADVANCED TAB where I needed access to reinstall drivers is now GRAY and completely unaccessable! I not only lost my custom drivers, I also lost my second tray of the printer (installed optionally) capacity! YES, MERRY CHRISTMAS!

  Now I need help to reinstall (they gave me specific instructions for installation, so I won't bumble worse trying to install them differently (as a regular driver) without confirmation first.)
  This is a PERFECT EXAMPLE of why we should be allowed to choose for outselves when and what updates to install on OUR computer! I checked the Windows Update history and there is NOTHING there that would strike even he would have had to change printer drivers, nor I anthing that would affect them being changed (for example, allowing control HP from my PC to automatically updated drivers), but clearly something changted them.

  What I HAD... I use a printer Officejet Pro 8100 bought two years ago February next with the option second tray of the installed printer. I also use Officejet 8600 drivers in order to be able to print my graphic files properly (these drivers were recommended on this forum once I have posted having problems printing after the first installation. These drivers worked PERFECTLY in all of my PC (running Windows XP, 8.1, and 10), but now with the missing options, everytting is printing through the upper status bar (where I have a THICK paper). I don't have the ability to choose which try to print (Tray 1 or 2), and I need to change paper whenever I want to print on different paper (I always had a THICK paper on top (Tray 1) and plain paper in the lower part (tray 2) because it would not print thick paper from the tray at the bottom.

  To use the 8600 drivers, I was given specific instructions (on this forum) on install in the section "NEW DRIVER" of the ADVANCED TAB in the properties of the printer. Now that I don't have access to this tab, I need to know if there is a way to access new (my preferred method) OR another way to install (for example just install them as if I would install the printer (8600))?

  It's free enough explainatory tab FULL area is GRAYED OUT, but in case there are any doubts, I have attached is a screenshot showing what he looks like.

  I apprecate any help you could offer.

  Kind regards... Chugbug

  

  OK, now it's really WEID!

  I tried during the last 24 hours to get to the Panel in question, including the restart of Windows at least half a dozen times without success.  But now tonight after that I dug around the different tabs, once again, INCLUDING clicking on through security and permissions panels (but not to make changes) AND for posting my question here, all in the advanced Panel was suddenly accessible once more!

  I reinstalled my 8600 drivers again, then reset my printing (default) preferences (paper 2 / plain plateau), and everything is good again (kumbaya...)!

  Good thing, I took a screenshot of it (grey) or I can't believe myself!

  Happy holidays!  Chugbug

• OfficeJet Pro 8100: Problem with airprint

  Our printer is officejet pro 8100. My iOS is 9.3.2 but not sure about the version of the printer. The first time we buy there worked with Apple airprint. Lately, we can't use airprint more which is very uncomfortable. EPrint still works well, however, we do not normally use it. We tried all possible solutions. The device can see the printer but when we choose the printer it disappears from the list. What should we do?

  Hello @Penny3425,

  Thanks for dropping by the HP's Support Forums! I see that you can not use AirPrint with your HP Officejet 8100. You are still able to use the ePrint feature.

  I would like that you start here: Wireless Printing with Apple's AirPrint

  Please see the 'No Printers Found Air' section and make sure that no troubleshooting steps were missed.

  This aid?  You are now able to use the AirPrint feature. I'll watch for your reply.
