Two-sided printing does not

I'm under mountain lion with my new hp7520 printer. When I print, I double-sided "disabled" on presentation settings, but always get 2-sided. Any way to make this work?

Thanks a lot for your help request, but I have the settings as you suggest.

After a period of reflection of my frustration, I tried something else and made a discovery that has solved the problem. I did spend printing 2 sides of 'off' to "the long side binding" and then print the document. It is printed 2 sides, as I expected.  When I turned back to 'off' (in fact, he went back to "off" automatically) and reprinted, it worked properly and printed on a separate sheet. I think that maybe the machine just need a starting aid. Yay! I hope that the problem is resolved and the printer will not return to his old antics.

  • HP 2549: HP 2549 and Mac OS x: double-sided printing does not work

    Hello!

    I just installed this printer on my Macbook Air and I cannot print double-sided. I tried by USB / wireless (in the case where there is a difference between the two) but no luck.

    I followed the advice in this post: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Install-Setup/two-sided-printing-no-longer-availble-...

    but I did not tab "driver". I only have "Général", "Levels of power" and "utility." I tried to delete the printer and then add it with HP 2359 and AirPrint not but that does not change.

    When I print a pdf document, double-sided printed is greyed out and I cannot change.

    What should I do? I already reinstalled the drivers on the HP Web site, I selected all the things that I can install it, but that has not changed anything.

    Thank you.

    Hi @blablaalf,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I see that two-sided printing does not work with your printer HP 2549 on Mac OS X 10.10. I'm happy to help with this problem!

    I assume that your printer is a HP Deskjet 2549, otherwise please reply with the exact type of printer you have. To find product/model number of your printer follow the instructions in this link. Find your model number of the HP product.

    Otherwise, if the type of printer you have. According to this guide, print on both sides of the paper (duplex printing). He said: this printer is not an automatic duplex unit integrated, you can always print on both sides of the page to manually reload paper in the paper after printing tray first to print on both sides of the paper.

    This is the reason why this option is grayed out.

    If you print on letterhead, pre-printed paper or paper with watermarks and pre-drilled holes, the printer prints first the front of the document. Load the paper with the top edge first and the side to be printed facing downwards.
  • What would cause two-sided printing is not working properly in Acrobat Pro and InDesign?

    I need help with a problem of double-sided printing that occurs only with a document created in InDesign, and then turned into a PDF Acrobat file. It is a simple single page 3, paper 8.5 x 11 with nothing weighs on the marges.5. I went to print it out on my Epson Stylus 7620 duplex, but it does not print correctly. It is printing page 1 on a single sheet of paper without even attempting to add the second page. Then it prints the third AND second double-sided pages. I looked to make sure that there is no box "print separate cover page" checked. I also made sure 'normal pages order' has been selected and not reversed. I checked to make sure that nothing was hanged on the page which may cause the printer to that there is an additional page between pages 1 and 2. I turned the document to Adobe PDF (for InDesign), but the PDF did the same thing. It prints 2-3 as a double-sided pages and page 1 on one page on a single sheet of paper. Obviously, I want 1-2 pages to print double-sided and 3 of the page into a single page. I called Epson, but they said that because other documents are printing correctly, it is not a printer problem, but Adobe software / printer box question, very probably in the InDesign document. I can't find. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Can someone help me with this?

  • Photosmart 7525 does not as advertised two-sided printing

    I just bought a printer Photosmart 7525, partly because my upgrade to Maverick on my MAC is my 3200 Series obsolete and she was acting strangely.  The new printer has taken longer to implement than I expected (not exactly an intuitive process and he had not provided all the guidance documents). I managed to get more work, but there is no option to select two-sided printing when you print directly from Word. I had to go through 3 non-intuitive screens to find the print options for the pages even / odd - it's much easier to save in pdf format and get rid of Acrobat.  But I still do not think the double-sided printing option that is promised in the product documentation.  I find some online reviews maybe I need an accessory, but I thought that the product has come with the ability.

    Please notify.

    Thank you

    Hi hybridgeek,

    Thanks for keeping me posted. Unlike programs preinstalled, Mac print options two sides is hidden in settings. If you open the print dialog box, click on the area of lowest selection - Copies & Pages, select from the drop down.

    Set the duplex option as the binding Edge Long (Portrait) or binding Long Edge (landscape). You can save the settings for later use by clicking preset > save current settings as a preset and naming.

  • How to enable two-sided printing on MacBook Pro with Canon MX490 printer

    Hello

    I have the MacBook Pro (retina, 13-inch, early 2013) and OS X version 10.11.4 (15E65) and Printer series Canon MX490.

    When I try to make a double-sided, the printer settings printing does not allow me activate two-sided printing.

    Also when I go into the settings of the printer, there is no option for me to select this option to enable printing double-sided or duplex printing etc..

    When I try to print with TextEdit settings, I still get the same printer settings and it does not allow me to enable two-sided printing.

    I couldn't find answers online, and frankly it's frustrating. I would appreciate if anyone can help with the problem.

    Thank you very much!

    This is the screenshot of the settings under the printer to textedit. Sorry I don't tie with the original message earlier.

  • Need help with the issue of two-sided printing

    We have a printer D1350.  It is directly connected to a PC and shared with other computers on our network.  In the past I printed two-sided with binding on the long edge with no problems at any one of the computers.  Recently he began to ignore my settings and print double-sided copies with link short edge no matter how I said to print from a PC.  All other PCs are able to print correctly.

    All PC's had Windows 7 OS when the problem started.

    We have upgraded to Windows 10 and the printer does not at all, we uninstalled the printer drivers and then re-installed both and it will not print correctly from a PC.

    I checked for updated drivers, still will not print properly with a PC.

    What arrangement could have changed on this PC it's ruin?

  • OfficeJet Pro 8000 double-sided printing will not respond to the control software #2

    Win XP Pro SP3

    OfficeJet Pro 8000 Wireless

    Does anyone know why Officejet Pro 8000 had control of double-sided printing, removed from the spec software?

    Does anyone know if there is a printer of this type which will respond to such control?

    UPDATE!

    ----------

    This printer is now works very well with total control on duplex printing. But how did this happen...?

    Two things have changed - well, maybe three.

    But first of all to mention another very annoying problem: wireless printer to my network connection always collapsed which was a double nuisance (23/06/2016 see also installing the driver wireless Officejet 8000 Pro says default gateway is 0.0.0.0)

    The road to happiness... I've finally updated my PC to a laptop HP Win7 (there is a problem with the laptop, but that's another story...)

    During the process of setting up laptop, I had to set up the network and add the printer. In between aid was a FAQ something like "the wirless connection drops regularly." What interested me.

    The fix was so simple - mychosen IP address has always been in the DNS range which was probably not very smart, but I didn't know any different. No one had ever mentioned before.

    The idea is to select an address in the static range IE outside the DNS. So I took a number x.x.x.249 and bingo!, a solid and reliable connection that is always there.

    Given the new laptop for download the drivers again. What went well and of course, the new machine is much faster.

    Anyway after a few tries, much to my delight I discovered that two-sided printing worked with auto rotation if I check the box. Printing a document like that I would see in portrate (horizontal spine) and read down the two pages, turn to the next page and the same thing at the end of the document. Or, if you use the rotation of non - normal mode - the printing orientation is 'normal '.

    It's a shame that it was necessary to buy a new laptop with a new o/s just to discover the problem by chance...

  • I downloaded the new software recently and now my Epsom printer does not work

    iMac late 2009. Processor 3.06 GHz

    Hi, I downloaded the new software recently and now my Epsom printer does not work and my Wi - Fi on the computer keeps dropping out.

    I spoke with Epsom and they recommended to remove the drivers and reinstall them. Now, I can not install the ad pilots Wi - Fi does not work correctly. The research on this forum I see there have been many problems with the new version of the software. Can someone help me?

    < re-titled by host >

    Try a reboot.

    Make a backup using Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure that data files can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.

    Try to set up another admin user account to see if the same problem persists. If back to my Mac is enabled in system preferences, the guest account will not work. The intention is to see if it is specific to an account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.

    Isolate a problem by using a different user account

    If the problem is still there, try to start safe mode using your usual account.  Disconnect all devices except those necessary for the test. Shut down the computer and then put it up after a 10 second wait. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the SHIFT key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. Startup is considerably slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a check for directory and disables all start-up and connection, among other things. When you restart normally, the initial restart may be slower than normal. If the system is operating normally, there may be 3rd party applications that pose a problem. Try to delete/disable the third-party applications after a reboot using the UN-Installer. For each disable/remove, you need to restart if you do them all at once.

  • Want 5530: Printer does not print in black ink

    I recently updated my HP 8.1 Windows of Windows 10 laptop.  I have the same type of printer (Envy 5530) installed at my other House and updated my desktop computer for Windows 10 and had no problem with printing, but now I'm with the laptop.  I try to print documents now and the printer does not print anything using black ink.  Color ink prints, black ink just not. The two jets of ink are filled.  I did all the "try these patches" suggested Windows and HP Print doctor.  I uninstalled and reinstalled the printer twice.  I rebooted the computer several times.  I'm no tech person by any means and have no one to help me or ask what else to do. Can someone help me understand this please?  Thank you!

    Hi @KKLfromIA,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I understand that you can not print in black with your printer to HP Envy 5530 on Windows 10. And I'm happy to help you!

    You use genuine HP cartridges or refills?

    One of your ink cartridges, low or empty?

  • 7510 Photosmart HP printer does not print

    I have problems with my printer does not print.  I printed a report successfully, but when I go to print from Photoshop, printing that says "print page 1, 0% complete" and nothing never goes out.  I turned off the printer and restarted the computer, and then he turned his back.  I unplugged the power cord to the printer and the wall, has waited more than 15 seconds, plugged everything back in and nothing has changed.  I have requed the print job whenever I did these things to solve problem above, but nothing has changed.

    I used to be able to easily print wireless from my Mac.  Then one day it stopped working.  Then I connected the USB cord to connect it to my Mac, now it does not work.  All boards with one or two printing problems would be greatly appreciated!

    OK, check the router firmware is updated.

  • I have a Dell (Dell V305) printer that is only a year. He has been guaranteed. What was happenning, is that the printer does not print up what I uninstall/reinstall.

    I'm having a problem with my printer does not print.  What I do I uninstall the printer and reinstall then it works very well for a week or two and then the problem starts again until I have reinstall the printer again.  The printer has ink, so it's not the problem. That's how I know it does not print: when I try to print a cartridge level page show empty and I can't print.  Yet once, when I uninstall/reinstall the printer, then the catridge levels show complete and then I can print.  I thought that maybe it could be that some issue that when I uninstall the printer that not all components are removed.  I uninstall not uninstall printer functionality and not the Add/Remove Control Panel.  Uninstall from the control panel would solve this problem?  Please notify.  Thank you, John

  • HP Deskjet 2540: The printer does not work.

    My printer does not print the page, I am sinking.  Instead it tries to download a page that I tried to download a few days ago and he has yet to recognize the page.  It was an image of the Liberty Bell, so I assumed it was copyrighted and would allow me to print and I rejected the page.  Apparently he is stuck somewhere in the printer and it does not load and therefore does not allow me to print the page that I need now.  How can I get this thing off my storage or my printer?  I watched everything I know to review and check in the printer itself.  I do not know how to remove the application printing the page because I can't find in the computer anywhere.

    If you can help me, I would be very grateful

    Thank you
