Hi:
I am using MS Office 2007 with an HP laptop and an HP 6280 All-in-One, printer/scanner/copier.
This printer has 2-sided printing: both, automatic and manual.
After re-installing the printer software suite (driver, etc.) , I am not able to print 2-sided using Word.
When I try to print a document, The Print dialog box is not providing the option in the
drop-down menu for automatic 2-sided printing. It allows only manual 2-sided printing.
In the Print dialog box, there is no Automatic option to select from the drop-down menu.
If I open Apple's iTunes and want to print info about an App, 2-sided printing works correctly.
Automatic is selected from the Print > Properties > Print on both sides drop-down menu.
I have looked at the Word Options > Advanced inside of Word.
Its Print section selection have check boxes for
- Print on front of the sheet for duplex printing
- Print on front of the sheet for duplex printing
I am not sure what these mean: isn't duplex printing 2-sided ?
What purpose do these two check boxes serve ?
The printer does not print 2-sided whether or not these boxes are checked.
Now:
If I open a new document, I do not see any other check boxes, settings, etc. for 2-sided printing.
If I open an old document, under Word Options > Advanced > When printing this document,
I see in the drop-down menu selection, that HP 6280 2-sided print option not available.
If a select All New Documents from the drop-down menu, it reverts back to HP 6280 2-sided print option not available
There are only two selections available in the drop-down menu.
Any ideas on what may be preventing me from having the option for automatic 2-sided printing ?
Thank you
