1 With a document open, click File > Print. 2 Click Properties, Preferences, Options, or Setup. 3 Go to the:Layout tab > Print on Both Sides (Duplex) area > Print on both sides - Click Long edge for print jobs with pages that are bound along the long edge of the page. - Click Short edge for print jobs with pages that are bound along the short edge of the page. 4 Click the Paper/Finishing tab, and then select a supported paper type. 5 Click OK to close any printer software dialogs. 6 Click OK or Print.
When you want to print both sides of a page, when you go into the 'Print' command click on 'Properties' and another windows opens. Select 'Print Layou' and you will see a box marked 'Two-Sided' - click this box. The other option is if you want to flip from the top or turn from the side, like a book. Select which way (I use side flip) and click OK, which brings back to the start and click OK to print. Once the pages have printed you will still need to rotate the pages and place them back in the printer; there will be an instruction page printed halfway thru to show you which way to place the balance of the pages in the printer.
Might sound tuff, but once you've done it a coupla times, you won't even need to print the halfway intrsuction sheet. Good luck. Cheers.
1. Click on "Start," "Control Panel," "Printers and Other Hardware" and "Printers and Faxes."
("Start," "Control Panel," "Hardware and Sound" and "Printers" for Vista...)
2. Then, right click on the Lexmark printer icon and left click "Properties."
3. Either on the "Advanced" tab or the "General" tab for some models, there is a "Print Processor" button, left click it.
4. This is the spool format setting. Under "Print processor" it should be set to "Lexmark *** series print processor." Next, under "Default datatype," select "NT EMF 1.008."
Are you saying that the printer prints in B&W but not in color, or only that it will print a test page with B&W? It might be that the color ink cartridge is dry.

I suggest you get a sheet of Card Stock (Heavy
paper) and place it in the feed way. Then press the print
button applying a slight amount of pressure on the Card Stock so it
will feed through the printer. The reason for this is in some cases I
have been able to clear the paper track of debris that was deposited there
over time.
Worth a try, as I have fixed a number of printers this
way, saving costly repairs.
Hope this helps.Bud
Most likely your printer's cartridge settings are incorrect. You possibly have a black and white cartridge in your printer but your computer settings are for a color cartridge. First verify what type of cartridge is in your computer. Then find the printer your are using installed on your computer. If you OS is Microsoft then double click on the Lexmark z12 and click on printer and then properties. Another window will pop up. Click on Cartridge Maintainence and then click on Verify/Change Cartridge. Hope this solves the problem. It worked for me.
unplug the printer and lift the cover and manually try to move the print nozzle assembly back and forth to see if it will move to both sides fully, use a flashlight to see if anything is caught in the belt or sides, the Z12 is an old printer model and the belt may be worn to the point that it wont stay in alignment and might have to get a new printer, fortunately dedicated printers arent that expensive and maybe you can get one at a thrift store real cheap.
