Windows Forum / Windows Vista / Printing and Faxing / October 2008Two-Sided Automatic Printing on 7310 with Vista?
I have a 4-year old 7310 All-in-One HP color printer, with which I am pleased and have used with previous operating systems to automatically print on both sides of a page. Now, with Vista I apparently have to manually rotate each page. Is there a "fix" this?  SignatureBennett Quillen I believe this problem first surfaced in March or April 2007. If you search these groups for Officejet 7400 and Deskjet 6500 you should find the solution, which is to install the Deskjet 6500 drivers and use that for automatic duplex printing. I am guessing that the 7300 series and 7400 series drivers are similar if not identical. > I have a 4-year old 7310 All-in-One HP color printer, with which I am > pleased [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > each > page. Is there a "fix" this? There are two issues. First, Vista defaults to the duplexer "not installed" for the 7310. Go to Start, Settings, Control Panel, Printer, right click on the 7310, select Properties, Device Settings, Installable Options and select "installed" for the Duplex Unit. The second issue is that the default driver will print the back side upside down. For this issue please send me an email with "Vista Duplex Officejet 7310" in the subject line and I will send a patch and instructions. Regards, Bob Headrick, Microsoft MVP Printing/Imaging bobh@mvps.org @Bob Thanks for sending along the patch for the 7410. I installed it this morning and it works like a charm. Do you know why HP hasn't incorporated this into the driver one can download from their website? can you send me the patch to fix duplex printing please??? my email is merrie@whitedoggs.com thaznk you!

Signaturemerrie bob - thank you so much!!!! i've tried everything and your patch actually worked!!! the only thing i did different is in the cd command, i couldn't get it to work with '%' in there so i just used '\'. thanks again, merrie i don't get why hp can't do this!! or make it available! Signaturemerrie Tried out the methods proposed by Bob Headrick. Work out very well:party::party:. My HP 7310 is working perfectly again. Many thanks!! SignatureClaDwo Bob, Thank you so much for your help. I have been frustrated with the duplex printing problem for so long and I am so very happy to have my printer printing properly again. The directions were straightforward and easy to follow. Thanks! SignatureMadzco Thank you for all. I can't belive that in HP website, in the section "'How to use' (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/useCategory?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&produc t=391182)", they write this "The driver for this product (OfficeJet 7310) does not support automatic two-sided printing in Windows Vista" Signaturepacm >I can't belive that in HP website, in the section "'How to use' >(http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/useCategory?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&produc t=391182)", >they write this "The driver for this product (OfficeJet 7310) does not >support automatic two-sided printing in Windows Vista" Odds are good that the driver evolved since that "How to use" was written and the documentation is out of date. |
