How to Set Automatic Duplexing on HP printer

http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Install-and/HP-6500A-Plus-Automatic-Duplexing/td-p/549251

From David Praveen at HP community Forum

Hi All,

Here is wht I want you all to do:

1) From the printer Setup menu look under "Reports" menu and select the option "Printer Status Report". Once it prints out look for the option "Duplexer". It should say "Installed".

2) In the computer, close all the windows which are open like Word, Acrobat etc
3) Double click the printer icon which you see on the computer screen. Open Printer actions and then open "Customize your Printer"
4) Click on "Device Settings" tab. Here "Two Sided Printing" or "Duplexer" should say "Installed" or Automatic" and if you see "Manual Duplex" this should read "Disabled". Click Apply and click OK
5) Click on "Set your Preferences"
6) Check for the option "Print on both sides" or something like that. For this option select "Flip on Short Edge"
7) Also click on "Advance" button and look for any reference to two sided printing.
8) Click Apply and click OK. Now try printing.

If it resolves your problem, but it prints upside down, from the application Click on File ==> Print ==> Select the printer ==> Click on Properties. Here select "Flip on Long Edge" and then try printing.

Note: Legal size paper cannot be used for duplex printing. Try with Letter size or A4 size paper.

Say "Thanks" by clicking the Kudos Star in the post that helped you.

Can't print PDF files only

Printing PDFs with best font size

Can't detect a USB connected printer: windows 7

You're trying to connect via USB but whatever driver installation you use, the printer just wouldn't print.

STEP 1
The first thing you do is to check the device manager if it detects the USB connected printer. The printer must be turned on for it to be seen in device manager. Usually found under Imaging devices

Here's how to access the device manager in Win7.


If it is detected proceed to the next step

STEP 2
Download the Print Diagnostics Utility which can be found at the sidebar of our site. It's right there on the right side. For now it's under Troubleshooting tools. Run this application and it will tell you why you can't print. That's if the problem is with the computer settings.
A Re-installation of the Software and drivers might be required.

If this still does not work go to the next step.

STEP 3
Service the printer. The Square USB port at the back of it might already be faulty. The best way to find out is to connect it to a different computer and see if it works with it. If it does repeat step 2.

The Printer Will Not Pick Up or Feed Paper

Incompatible Ink Cartridge



There are several things you can do if you get this error message:
1. Check the Ink's Compatibility with your printer. It's always recommended you use Original HP ink.
https://h30042.www3.hp.com/SureSupply/
2. Remove and re-install the ink cartridges.
3. Clean the electrical contacts on the cartridge and inside the printer with a moist cotton swab.
4. If that still does not work, try a different ink cartridge or just try running the printer with one cartridge to isolate which cartridge is faulty.
5. Replace in Cartridge.
6. If that still does not resolved it. It's time to service the printer or haveit replaced.

Failed due to MAC filtering



Sometimes when installing an HP printer wirelessly you get an error that goes something like "Failed due to MAC filtering"
What is MAC filtering anyway?

MAC filtering- Media Access Control (MAC filtering uses a unique 12-character address assigned to each piece of network hardware (it's like your car's VIN number) to allow or block the device's connection to a network.

The video above shows how MAC filtering works. You could probably spot the MAC address on a sticker at the back of your printer.

How do I fix it?
This link to the HP support web site shows how to resolve these types of issue:

Using an HP All-in-One or Fax Product on a PBX, ISDN, or DSL Phone System

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=buu50333&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&jumpid=reg_R1002_USEN



wrong wrong wrong. doing it that way will cause the dsl to loose connection when the fax is communicating. Only some faxes can work on dsl connections, they must have a cable equalizer and line attenuator available in the firmware of the machine so the machine can be adjusted to work. You must use a dsl filter inline with the fax machine otherwise when sending or recieving the dsl will drop out. The bad news is the dsl filter causes the line to drop by 5 dB in volume causing Rx/Tx failure.
