Hi Pavel,

Try this,

Open the doc with OpenOffice . Go to File - > Print. Select the printer that is installed in the Name option drop down.

Beside that there is a option called properties. Click on it there, opens a properties window for that printer. Select the page size as A4-autoduplex in the Duplex option select <ignore> option. ( As you have already set these options in Cups web interface).

You may also try printing from hp-toolbox if the above case did not function.

Let us know on the same.

Thanks & Regards,
Goutam Kodu

Thank you for message.
I tried to print by using your recommendations. When i open hplip interface (from "Print" button), I can't print documents with *.rtf *.doc extensions. Also when i select the page size as A4-autoduplex in the Duplex option select <ignore> option, device print only in 1-side too.
And what about top scanner I/O error?

Can you post us the output of "hp-check -t" command.

Have you set the duplex option in the Cups Web Interface (http://localhost:631) ?

Thanks,

Thank you! I set default settings to Duplex-print in CUPS interface then restart Libre office, open the document and send CTRL+P. In "Print" interface i select Duplex - long Edge. Previously I could not select these settings.

As of now, you can use flatbed scanning. ADF scan issue will be resolved in next release.
