HP Deskjet 1515 double sided printing + print preview

[kmc25]

HP Deskjet 1515 on windows 8.1

The printing preferences box is so limited for this printer.

We can only change 

- paper source + quality

-paper size

- print in grayscale

-HP real life technologies on/off

-booklet

-pages to print (all/odd/even)

-resolution

-pages per sheet layout

- print in max dpi

??? where to tick the "print preview" option ? We want to see layout before printing

??? where to tick the "double sided printing" option ? We want lessons to come out with both sided of the paper printed

PLEASE ADVISE ?

thanks

Hi kmc25,

Welcome to the HP Forums.

I have done some research and I have found a great document that will assist you with the print settings. Please click on the following link for Changing Print Settings in Windows 8.

Please feel free to write me back if you have any other questions or concerns.

Hello 1Ashiya,

I see that you are having issues with the print settings on the computer.

I see that you are using Windows 7.  Just so you know, Windows 7 settings are almost identical to the Windows 8 settings with a few minor changes in the appearance.

You can actually get by with the document that I provided in the previous post.

Let me know how you make out and if you have any other questions, feel free to write me back.

Cheers,

Hi there again,

Thanks for the feedback.

The solution you've provided does not provide information on how to activate "print preview" in the HP 1515 printer settings though.

Please assist - it's vital to "check" a document before actually printing it.

Thanks in advance

Good day,

I have the same issue, but I have MAC sotware (OS X Yosimite 10.10.3). Do you have a guide for me. I would really like to print two-sided. 

Thank You

Hi BeateLouw,

I have done some research on double side printing and I was able to find the User Guide that explains in detail how to do Double sided printing.

Please go to the Print section and Print documents to find the instructions.

Thanks for your time.

Hi Waterboy,

I am sorry but I am still struggling with the two-sided printing. The two-sided option is not available. Can you maybe give me clearer instructions on where to find the printing document. Also, I think it might be a software/ setup issue. I have deleted my software and I redownloaded it. I have a MacBook Air so I could not use the CD that came with the printer (no CD drive), but instead downloaded the software from the site. 

Thank you.
