Hi. Can someone please confirm that this printer will print double-sided jobs IN COLOR ? I noticed that some printers will offer double-sided printing in black (or grayscale) only. Thanks!

To answer your question, I opened a fresh Word document and typed the numbers 1-0 and randomly colored them. I copied and pasted these to a second page and printed. I can confirm I now have a single sheet of paper with randomly colored numbers on both sides.

It will do double sided printing quite nicely, but not double sided copying unless you save the copy as a document first and then print it. I am still quite happy with the machine.

it doesn't print double sided. you will have to flip the paper over and print on the back yourself.

Yes, I do not use frequently so not my default. You can select print ->print both sides (2 sided) very easy and efficient. Printer automatically feeds first printed page (side 1) back into the printer to be printed on side 2. I am extremely satisfied with the quality and performance of this printer.

Normally you don't set the *printer* to print black&white; only. Instead you select the black&white; printing option on the print menu of whatever application (IE browser, Chrome browser, Acrobat (pdf) Reader, etc.) you are using. You have to do this each time you print a document.

I use FinePrint and am pleased with that software. However, it does require that the hardware to which it is sending its output does support double-sided printing and in this case, the HP does not. Sorry!

It does not print in color. It only has a black toner cartridge. It's why the manufacturer refers to it as monochrome. Mono means one or single.

Yes. It only prints in black. The reason I got this is because if u print in black most of the time u use less ink versus the multi-color printers. Multi-color printer uses all colors even if u are printing in black only, therefor ink runs out quicker and its a bigger expense. Hope this helps.

LoveGadgets nailed it; it does not give you the option of two-sided printing when you reach the dialog box for printing a document or file. Technically, you can do double-sided if you print the even pages, go to the printer, replace them in the tray, and then print the odd pages. But I don't think that's what most people look for when asking about double-sided print capability. I just returned mine having discovered this, and having confirmed with HP support that indeed it does not have automatic two-sided (duplex) print options. So don't be fooled. http://h71016.www7.hp.com/html/pdfs/LJPro_400_Color_M451.pdf LoveGadgets nailed it; it does not give you the option of two-sided printing when you reach the dialog box for printing a document or file.

I can select the print options from my computer when I am printing a document. One of the options is to print the document in mono, or black and white. It seems to always default to color, but it only takes a moment to change.

If you're willing to use a manual technique and you use Windows (not a Mac) then the driver supports two-sided printing with a manual step. It's super easy. Just tell the print driver you want it double sided, print it, then grab the stack of paper printed, drop it into the new paper tray the same way you removed it from the top of the printer, and hit the continue button on the printer. Works perfectly. All pages are in the correct sequence and orientation.

Yes! On your computer just choose double sided when printing. For more info on it please check out my unboxing and review of it on YouTube at: http://youtu.be/Mz5-N9BlE3U?a.

You have to check the box for double-sided printing since it's not the default setting. You can do this in the print options for your document.

It does print double-sided, I love this feature because it saves on paper. I don't know why the description says "no." This is a great Printer, I've had it a couple of years and love it. The main paper tray holds a good amount of paper, and it has another tray that pulls out if you want to change the paper stock for a Print Job. Laser Printers are great, I would never go back to an Ink Jet. ALC

Need the duplexer installed on the back of the printer(mine came with it in the box). Would depend on the OS print dialog, but somewhere in the printing preferences there is a place where you can specify 2-sided as default..I put long edge. But if you do not do that, when you hit "print" also there would be in the printing dialog box that comes up a way to do it for that print job usually under options or properties there would be a way to specify 2-sided for that particular print job.

Huh. I wasn't aware the 6700D printed simultaneously on both sides. I use a PIXMA MG5420 currently which does print both sides at once, but don't think it prints as nicely as the 6700.

It prints color beautifully. I don't think they make a printer anymore that only does black and white.
