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!

It does print double sided and I've printer a word document double side.But if the document is complicated with pictures, columns or tables, my experience is that the printer does A LOT of jamming.

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 is a color priter, but if you set your computer settings to black and white or grayscale it will print that way.

The black and color are separate cartridges so if the color goes empty, you can still print in black, one of the options in the print menu is to print in grayscale if no color ink or if you just want to conserve the color ink.

No it can not do automatic two-sided printing (duplex printing). If you lower the print quality then it becomes fast. If you max out the quality then it can become dead slow (like many other printers out there I would say that this is normal)... So it's neither fast nor slow. It's hard to give an example to the print quality and the corresponding speed here. Try to find some video reviews to see some examples or take a look at the PPM (page per minute) numbers that could be found over the internet (manufacturer page, review pages, etc.).

It will not. You can set it to print black only if you have a low color cartridge or color only if you have a low black cartridge but it requires both cartridges to run and will not print at all if one of them runs empty.I have had some bad experiences with this model. If you don't have it already, I wouldn't invest in it. Just a suggestion.

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

I have not had any need to print doublesided documents, but I will try to check it out tomorrow and let you know. I do have a Mac, so my printer menus are considerably different than the ones that pop up on a PC. I have never even seen a "black ink only" option, despite searching. I will try to find it.Thanks for a well thought out and relevant response.

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.

No. It can also print with color carriages as well. It is a color printer after all ... but is that what you meant to ask? You might have meant to ask, "Can it print with only a black cartridge installed?" That's a different question, and I don't know the answer to that one.

If the black is not empty, it will print in black even with one of the colors is empty. It seems all ink is expensive. Sell the printer cheap, and make your money off the ink.

This printer can scan in color, but only prints in black and white. In my experience, most of these machines scan in color.

My printer stopped printing in black and white and will only print in color. I have never experienced anything like this. I've cleaned the printer head and run all diagnostics available and nope. It was great when it worked but this printer is only two years old. The hell.

Yes, it does do double-sided printing. It's a great printer. Very happy with this product!!

Yes. The printer comes with black + colors. If you use only black, it will be happy. If you use up the colors, leave the empty color cartridges in place. It will nag you to replace the empty ones but you can ignore that. There are super-size black cartridges available and I suggest you use them for lower cost. I have 2 of these printers used mostly for scanning and printing 11x17 engineering drawings and have no complaints after about 2 years.

Yes it will. Change color to greyscale. You will be ready to print black and white. Of all the high end printers I have owned this one is the VERY BEST and a low price also. Would recomment this to anyone and am getting ready to purchase another one for my grandson.

I don't know if it will print in black and white if the color cartridge is empty as I just got the printer and haven't emptied the cartridges yet. I assume it will continue to do black and white if you leave the empty cartridges in.
