Hi Bob,
I was previously able to do manual duplexing for my Photosmart 2610 when i was still using XP. Now i'm using Vista and have installed the patch. How do i do manual duplexing? Where can i set the preferences?
I have tried using setting "Duplex Unit" to INSTALLED, but still i don't see any options in Printing Preferences. Pls help. Thanks
PS: I do not have a Duplex Unit.

If you do not have the duplexer then do the following: go to the Printers folder. Right click on the 2610, Run as Administrator, Properties, (continue), Device Settings, Installable Options, set the Duplex unit to "Not installed", set Allow Manual Duplexing to "Enabled", OK.
Once this is done you should have the option to seelct "Print on Both Sides - Manually" from the quick set or to select manual duplexing in the Finishing tab.

Just a note of thanks! I found this thread after joining the forums to find a fix for the PhotoPrint gadget for Vista Sidebar Not only did this thread lead to a solution for that problem but within 10 minutes I was printing automatically on both sides of a sheet of paper. Something I didn't even realize my C7280 was capable of!
Thanks again!

I have the officejet 7410 and cannot print right with the front and back settings. I am using Vista 64 bit and have downloaded the newest drivers for that OS. The problem i am having is the document will print with the back side upside down. I have also tried testing different settings like the initial post said with no luck. None of the settings ive found seem to effect that at all.
I also have the printer hooked to a computer running XP Pro and it runs great and the settings do what they say.
Thanks for any help.

Read the first post in this thread and click on the link given in the "Back side prints upside down" for a patch that will fix the issue.

have sold a HP 8500 wireless printer. unable to get double sided printing on the legal size paper. need your help. though the brochure claims duplex feature.
What is your operating system? Does duplexing work with letter size paper? Are there any error messages when you try to print legal size with the duplexer?
