Officejet 6700
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I hope someone actually reads this.

 

I have an Officejet 6700 Multipurpose Printer. Up until I changed computers I was able to scan both sides of documents. I would simply click on Scan Both Sides. Now I have a new computer, upgraded to Windows10 (not necessarily a good idea in itself), with HP (questionably) Smart installed, and cannot scan/save both sides of a document in proper order in the same file.

 

Scanner feature works just fine. It's the software, I'm sure.

 

Is there a fix? Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Honestly, when I got your reply I was ... skeptical. But it WORKS!!! Yay!!

 

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

 

It drives me crazy when simple things don't simply transfer over from one version to another. It confirms my suspicion that the "user" in "user friendly" is usually the developer/programmer.

 

Thanks, again, ....
