Print double-sided

I recently got a macbook pro with OS X 10.11... I have a printer D4160 Office jet that I used before on another laptop. Ive hooked up to the macbook and installed/downloaded the driver, the current driver is HP inkjet driver 4.0.5

Printer works fine, but does not give me the ability to print double sided, or the ability to print odd/even pages.  I contacted apple support and they could not understand it either... is there another driver I need to download? Or something else I should do?

It's my first mac then help step by step would probably be necessary, because I have no idea what I'm doing!  I really have to be able to print two-sided for school, please help!

Options to print odd and even pages are under [paper handling], a Menu that is hidden under the area [].  Pages to print instead of "Automatic", choose even pages, and if the printer is facing towards the low delivery, you will probably want to "Swap" as well. Then, return the battery to the output tray into the tray facing the proper direction and print the odd pages uniformly.

Automatic duplex printing requires the physical printer back on the pages and the re - feed. It is not a feature of consumers were willing to pay, so low-end inkjet didn't do it.

  • How can I print double-sided?

    On my laptop that is running Windows 7, there is a checkbox to print double-sided. My new printer (old we died in some of the excessive rains induced sewer failure) duplex automatically, so I like to use this feature whenever possible.

  • PhotoSmart Premium C309a: PhotoSmart Premium C309a in Win10 driver to print double-sided problem

    My problem is this: I created a catalog in MS Publisher 2013 for format A4 paper with 2 pages per document. I chose booklet side folding type and print double-sided.

    MS Publisher prepared pages correctly. I even created versuions PDF of these pages. But every time when I print pages, the printer keeps make them smaller (I think that balance for letter size) despuite the fact that I changed in the printer preferences A4as default paper source, all the documents are in format A4 etc.

    Accordingly, the printed pages are shifter in the Center on the left side page, which is OK for printing side but may not work for printing side doyuble that shift is in different directions for paper result.

    In addition, I can just print more on DVD or CD surfaces as the driver does not support a feature of sauch.

    Let me know how I can replace the native driver for Windows 10 with that for Windows 8.1? Or are there other solutions, except using another OS?

    THX, Vlad.

    In fact, it is not metter. The real problem was in the printer drivers. For some reason, Windows 8 driver package failed was installed and it creates the problem.

    I have installed HP SupportFramework and HP Support Assistant software. After the Support Assistant software downloaded a driver package, which is exactly what I used to use before so that the installation was successful.

    Now, everything works fine.

    Thank you for your support,

  • Print double-sided with 6700 e

    Hello

    I use MS office on a Mac 10.8.4

    I tried similar positions, but the advice given to the conflicts. Some say that this printer won't duplex printing. I don't have time to do workaround manual/odd pages, print documents with many pages, it's too much inconvenience.

    This two-sided print, but the option to do so appears only when you print pdf files. Opening Word files in preview pdf will be printed double-sided, but the final pages are backwards. PDFs do not do this, they duplex correctly. I'm trying to print files Word will not even appear the option two faces.

    I can't find the printer properties to investigate the box, and at the opening of the printing device, it has a tab not pilot, who was one of them another post suggested.

    OK - for the benefit of others and I've seen a loot of posts about this issue with the Mac, I found a solution. It's a driver problem, HP should be aware of this and not fob about people being a problem of software related to Word

    (Previously I had already downloaded the latest drivers from HP, which never worked, only the 1.0 driver installed each time.)

    First of all, I've updated my Mac OSX software (may not be necessary).

    I then added the printer with HP Setup.

    When he asks how to install the device - with Airprint or 6700, I selected 6700. I think that settles with different drivers.

    Now when I open my queue for the printer, instead of the version of the driver showing that 1.0, according to other attempts to reinstall driver are now 4.1.2

    Now to print in Word, go to the submenu of layout in preview mode before printing, and then select the long side binding

    There should be an option in layout to "Flip on long edge" or "return on the short edge.  Change this setting to change the orientation of the back page.
