Does this printer have a "straight thru" paper path option? Required for printing heavy stock. And does it support postscript?

Yes, you can load heavy stock from the front. There's a panel that lays down. I don't know about post script. I'm a tax preparer. I print labels and Hugh volumes if black and white, so nothing fancy at all. Hope this helps.

I would assume it can but I don't know for sure. We are printing small Avery postal labels with it and it does have a straight through paper path.

I just tested it to be sure. Put in a two sided page, selected two sided to two sided copy and the page fed through the document feeder once and delivered a two sided copy. Presto. Love this printer.

I have had very occasional paper jams that are VERY easily resolved by easy access to the rear ( there is a built in visual direction via the touch screen: also for ink changes etc.) P.aper feed itself has not been a problem for me except if I try to use really wrinkled paper. much better than another brand and another HP 7960 color printer I had before.

If you ask it to do it... it will do.How it works is:It prints one side, once it has finished printing all one side, it requires you to pick up the paper, put it back on the paper tray and press continue.Nice and easy with screen advices.Best printer I have ever had

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.).

I print 110 card stock all the time on this printer. The settings have to be right. Never a paper jam but it does put a little crimp on the top of the paper. I do not get that crimp with a lighter weight card stock (80).

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.

No, it does not. It seems to support some manual duplex option (i.e., it'll print one side, then you put the pages in the other way, and it'll print the other side). But you can ALWAYS do that through software options, and it doesn't have any auto-duplexing in the hardware side, like more expensive or more feature-competitive printers would.

I have the MX 860. This printer has a paper bin in the rear and allows heavy stock to pass straight thru without rolling around a platen roller. The next generation printers did not have this feature. It was worth the money for me. I expect another 4 years of printing from it. It was very easy to replace also. Just let the printer re-calibrate for 10 minutes or so. I would put new print cartridges in also.

I have to agree with A. Geib I bumped up the phyical memory, used quality paper printed at the highest resolution and got very good resultsIt is abit slow on the first thing printing and sounds like a jet when I turn it on, but it was worth the money so far, I also have a Brotherat work and its a workhorse.I've used HP's Lexmark, Cannon, Epson it compares to them all, the interesting thing for me is watching the sell price move up and downI may start tracking it for fun.

Carl! I just did it... took out the color cartridge and it printed a B/W image....hey thank YOU it is good to know just for general purposes. BTW it is darn good little printer and if you can find it on sale as I did (40 bucks) also there is a vendor here that sells both cartridges for under 20 bucks including shipping...they wanted 48 bucks at Staples for the dang cartridges themselves for cryin' out loud........:>}

Yes. It prompts you to insert the output (the front pages) back into the feeder so it can print the back side. It guides you on how to do this. Reading the other responses on this thread, I agree this requires human intervention, but it's not a big deal. I do a lot of double-side printing. It works well. To put this in the proper perspective, this is the same process as for my more expensive HP LaserJet Color 300 which cost twice as much.

The printer is not very ruggied. Would not use it for heavy stock on a routine basis.

I printed on 8.5x11" photo paper via the rear paper feed. I didn't try through tray 2, as I did not want to bend the paper. I've had nothing but trouble with this printer, though. Epson is sending me my third printer, as the second one had the same clogged nozzles proble as the first.

This printer works great with 100lb (271gsm) cover stock. Most of my printing is on heavyweight stock i.e. 270gsm Bristol board and 330gsm art paper - this Epson WorkForce WF-7510 has not jammed once. I would not try the 600gsm paper that my Canon Pro9000 MKII can take because the Epson path is not straight like the Canon and I would expect it to jam.
