I can't get my hp 3000n to print duplex manually. Clicking 'two-sided' in the dialog boxes does nothing. HP says do something with the 'finishing' popup that appears. No such popup appears.

You didn't specify your operating system so I'll go with the most used. My printer is a different model but the process is the same.

To enable/disable duplex (both side) printing (by default):
·from the "Start" button in Windows 7 open "Devices and Printers"

(Select Priinter.jpg)

·RIGHT click on your printer and select "Printing Preferences" If it is a multi-function device (scanner/fax) Select the "printer" (not fax) function.

This will pop up the printer's "Properties" dialog box.

·On the "General" tab select "Preferences" near the OK button/

·Under "Printer Preferences" change the "Print on Both Sides" box from "None" to "Flip on Long/Short Edge". Then click the "Apply" button.
Close all the dialog boxes left open by selecting OK.
Job done.

Many printers support duplex printing, but they don't all make the duplex option available in the same way. With some desktop printers, choosing duplex means that the printer prints all of the copies of the first side of a page, then pauses and asks you to flip the sheets that it just printed and return them to the printer, after which it prints all of the copies of the second side. This method is called manual duplexing.

To print on both sides of a sheet of paper:

1. On the File menu, click Print.
2. In the Print dialog box, in the Name list, select the printer that you want to use.
3. Click Properties.

Note The information in the Properties dialog box varies depending upon the manufacturer of the printer you're using. With some printers, you will see a Layout tab with a Print on both sides option on it. With other printers, you might see a Features tab, and the duplex option might be called something like Two-sided printing. Explore the various tabs in the Properties dialog box until you locate the duplex printing option.

1. Choose the duplex printing option that you want.

The options will be called something like Long edge (or Flip on long edge) and Short edge (or Flip on short edge). Whether it's better for the paper to be flipped on the short edge or the long edge depends upon the type of publication you're printing. You might need to print a test publication or two to discover which option works best.

1. Click OK to close the Properties dialog box, and then click OK again to close the Print dialog box and print your publication.

I have not used that specific printer, but from all I can determine, it is not a duplex printer. However hp offers these suggestions on how to determing if your printer is duplex: <br /> "To find out if your printer supports duplex printing, refer to your printer manual or look for the <b>Two-sided (Duplex printing)</b> or <b>Print on both sides</b> drop-down menu in the <b>Printer Properties</b> dialog box on your PC (sometimes found in the <b>Printer Shortcuts</b> tab).<br /> If you can

Sir, the Hp LaserJet 2015n printer CANNOT automatically do duplex printing since the printer does not include mechanism and paper storage areas to cycle the paper through the printer a second time and print on the reverse side. Manual duplex printing can be done as follows: Choose duplex printing and remove all sheets after the printing is complete. Turn the sheets over while preserving the orientation and insert them in the paper feed path. I have an HP 1020 laserjet printer which is similar to the 2015.

I just installed the printer/printer driver on my computer as a local LPT1: printer, so let's see if this will work to change the duplexing settings.

1. Click Start > Printers and Faxes or Start > Settings > Printers and Faxes.
2. Right-click the HP 2300d printer and click Printing Preferences.
3. Click the Finishing tab.
4. Check the "Print on Both Sides" checkbox.
5. Click OK.

You can also access the Printing Preferences dialog box within the application from which you're printing by clicking Properties or Preferences next to the printer's name.

Check your driver. If you are using a recent version of "HP Universal Printing PS" driver, the duplex option is in the finishing tab.

Some printers automatically print on both sides of a page (automatic duplex printing); other printers allow you to manually reinsert pages to print the second side (manual duplex printing); and some printers do not support duplex printing at all. To find out whether your printer supports duplex printing, you can check the printer manual, contact the printer manufacturer, or check the printer's properties by clicking Properties in the Print dialog box.

You can use the following clues to determine whether a specific printer supports duplex printing:

• Check your printer manual or consult your printer manufacturer.
• Click the tabs in the Print dialog box and review the options. If options such as print on both sides of the paper, duplex printing, or two-sided printing appear on any of the tabs, the printer probably supports automatic duplex printing.

Notes

• If you are printing to a combination copy machine and printer, and the copy machine supports two-sided copying, it probably supports automatic duplex printing.
• If you have more than one printer installed, it's possible that one printer supports duplex printing and another printer does not.
