After hitting print button,dialog box comes up printing, but there is nothing printing. Per control panel Printers & faxes everything is ok shows D2600 printer ready, per box item in que is printing

Go to 'Printers and Faxes' (from Start menu or Control Panel) and right-click your printer. Select 'Properties' - the last menu item.

Click 'Printing Defaults' button.


Click 'Front to Back' and click OK button.
Click OK on the earlier dialog box also.
This would fix your problem.

You will need to find your printer settings for the printer and see if there is an option for that. Go to Start>Control Panel>Printers & Fax and then right click on your printer and click on properties. Search through those to see if you notice any option for that.

Also when you are printing, when the print dialog box comes up you should make sure only "1" is listed in the copies box.

Hope this helps! Please rate my answer :) Thanks!
