Booklet printing with Mac

After purchasing an Officejet Pro 8620, with the promise of this feature advertised, I am disaapointed to find that booklet printing appears impossible from the Mac printer driver downloaded. The menu shows "Booklet" greyed out under the "two-sided" drop-down choices in the Layout section, but no combination of settings seem to render it active. Booklet printing is mentioned in the manual under Windows settings, but not Mac. Can this feature, indispensable for me, be activated, and if so, how?

Hi @JAC_330,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
From much of my research, I was starting to think I was going crazy and that wasn't an option on the Mac, but I think I found the issue. The Booklet option you're seeing that is greyed out appears to be due to the HP driver.
If you install the printer using the AirPrint driver (first bullet under #4) you should then be able to select that Booklet option. I was able to see it using the AirPrint driver in TextEdit.
Does that change anything? Let me know and we'll go from there

Booklet printing with HP Officejet Pro 8000 A809n

Can any one help with booklet printing? I have looked at other posts and none seem to quite cover my problem.
I want to print from Microsoft Office Publisher 2003, and have a PC running Windows XP.
The booklet needs printing on A4 (297 x 210mm) paper landscape format with 2 pages (A5) per side.
What prints out is portrait with 4 pages per sheet (A6 size) with the printing on the reverse side inverted.
I've tried all combinations of landscape and portrait etc. and nothing works. As I will need to do these booklets quite often in future I would like to sort it asap.
Thanks for any help.

HP 1220C PS PRINTER WITH MAC YOSEMITE 10.10

MY HP1220C PS WILL ONLY PRINT BLACK WITH MAC SYSTEM (ABOVE) -- IS THERE ANY SOFTWARE AVAILABLE
THAT I COULD USE TO MAKE IT PRINT IN COLOR ?? TKS -- WINJE

I had, and still suffer the exact same problem.
I've got a late 2009 iMac that came pre loaded with Snow Leopard. which supports the printer. The only way to ensure you get colour printing on a 1220C in Yosamite is to wipe the iMac, install Snow Leopard as the base OS, install the printer then go through the life draining steps of upgrading to Yosamite via Lion, Mountain Lion & Mavericks. A dogs breafast I grant you!
I've tried to locate the printer driver on my time machine, or like you a new or alternate one so I can bypass the whole gradual install process and dump the driver where it needs to live but have yet to find it.
If someone else has a better work around please let me know as I'm almost to the point of throwing out a perfectly good printer if I ever have to rebuild my iMac again.

Sharing Linux printer with Mac

P4 with Debian Etch (testing), kernel 2.6.12-1-686,
Gnome desktop and USB attached printer and scanner
PMac G5 running OS X Tiger (10.4.4)
I've got my AppleTalk/zeroconf LAN setup working for file sharing - with netatalk and task-howl on the Linux box.
When I had my printer connected to my Mac I could print to it from the Linux box with just CUPS whether the Mac AppleTalk connection with the Linux box was active or not. Then I decided I wanted more desk space around my Mac and moved the printer to my Linux box. Now I can print from my Linux box, but I can't seem to figure out how to print to it from my Mac :-P
For once I'm finding the printer setup on my Mac the more difficult I've tried it outside the AppleTalk connection by simply supplying an address of 192.168.2.69:631 and though the printer definition is accepted, actual printing says the printer is busy. I've also tried it with the AppleTalk connection up, again supplying the same address, with the same results. I've also tried variations of addresses without success.
I'm sure I'm tripping over the obvious but what??? Is there a way to specify the Linux printer from my Mac outside AppleTalk? Or if I need to through AppleTalk, do I need to further edit my Linux netatalk setup - maybe the papd.conf???
If I do need to (somehow) use the Linux printer with AppleTalk, there is another lesser question. How do I ensure that the howl tools (mDNSResponder for advertising) start at login like afpd and atalkd. Following is the mDNSBrowse info if it's any help.
I'm keeping notes on the detail steps in order to share the setup with anyone else they might help, so if you want to see the detail steps I've taken so far I can send along the text file or put it up on my dotMac account for download.
Thanks,
Lee C

Hi Lee,
   Of course I don't mind your sharing my instructions; the more testing we have the better. Did you not have to do any configuration of netatalk and the howl-tools? I know it's zeroconf but I've never dealt with an app that didn't require some configuration. Well, maybe the dream is true...
   In theory my instructions are symmetric. The Mac's /etc/cups/client.conf file has a ServerName line. Of course, whether or not Apple's print mechanism will honor it is another matter. I can't test it but I would think it worth a try. I would think that getting printing to work from Mac to Linux would require that the Linux server be setup to share its printer via CUPS as I described.
   Once the Linux box is sharing its printer via CUPS, here is how I would guess you should add it to the Mac via the Printer Setup Utility.
In the "Printers" menu, select "Add Printer...". The Printer Browser dialog will open. Click on the "IP Printer" button, the second button at the top left. Beside "Protocol:" select "Internet Printing Protocol - IPP". That is the protocol CUPS uses and points to port 631 which is what you want for a printer shared via CUPS. In the address line naturally you want to put the local address of Linux box. Under "Queue:" you can put the name you chose when you setup the Linux printer to work with CUPS. However, assuming that you only have one print queue, it should work to leave that blank.
Below that is another group of fields to fill in. I'm not sure how important they are. I am guessing here since I haven't tested it but I would guess that "Name:" and "Location:" are for display purposes only and that what you put there doesn't really matter. The "Print Using:" menu is another matter. I'm sure that the driver resides on the machine to which the printer is attached so specifying a driver on the client doesn't really make sense to me if you're using IPP. I know that in a purely Linux environment, all I have to specify is the ServerName so no driver should be necessary. I would think that "Auto Select" would be the best choice if you have to make one but I would try not doing anything with it if you can. If neither of those work, try selecting the actual make of the printer. Since you had it connected to the Mac once, I assume that you actually do have a driver. I just don't see why you would need it.
   Setting up the printer to work with CUPS was the only thing that I really had to research when setting up our Linux lab and server. I think the only important decision was the driver. The printer that our Linux server uses is itself a JetDirect network printer so the Device URI was actually important as well but the printer currently connected to my Mac (OS X configured CUPS automatically) has a Device URI of file:///dev/null so it can't be very important for a local printer. However, if the Linux box has a device file for the local printer, you may have to use that as the Device URI. (with file:// in front of it)
   If you've set the cups.conf file as I described in my instructions, (allow the Mac access to <Location />) you can actually configure the CUPS queue via the web from the Mac. Just aim your browser to http://<Linux_IP>:631/printers and click on the "Add Printer" link at the bottom left if it isn't already listed. If it is already listed then maybe Linux configures local printers automatically too. Otherwise you may have to click on the "Configure Printer" link.

Sharing windows printer with mac notebook

i've been trying to get my windows printer to print something from my MAC notebook. so far i'm as far as the print icon appearing on my MAC pc showing a print job in progress but also showing that the windows host (my ISP) is busy and that the mac will try again in 30 seconds. i run a links wireless system and i don't know what would make the windows unit give off a busy signal to my MAC

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
See my printer FAQ*:
http://www.macmaps.com/printersx.html
which may have some solutions for you.
Also note, printing labels for CDs is unwise. It has nothing to do with Mac or PC. Labels shorten the length of CDs. http://www.macintouch.com/cdrfailure.html covers that and much more. Basically for CDs, you should buy CDs that are prepackaged in a jewelcase, and not a spindle, and make your own jewelcase inserts or write on the jewelcase exterior the contents of the CD if you want to prolong the media life.

Booklet printing with K8600dn

We are considering a K8600dn. It will have one purpose only. This is to print 11x17 sheets which fold to a 4-page, 8.5x11 booklet. Printer driver must have a booklet preference which prints pages 1 and 4 on the first side of the 11x17 sheet and pages 2 and 3 on the second side. Does anyone know if this feature is available? It worked on our Business inkjet 2600, but didn't work very well on some of the earlier 11x17 inkjets. TYpe got reduced, margins were erratic, etc. Help appreciated. Thanks

Thanks, PrintDoc, but I think my question is a bit different. Sorry if I wasn't clear. I know the printer will duplex for 2-sided printing. What I don't know is whether the printer driver has a booklet function that when chosen, will put pages 1 and 4 on one side of the paper and 2 and 3 on the other side. As far as the editing function of MS Word, it starts out just as a 4-page document, portrait, 8.5x11. The printer driver allocates the pages 1, 4 and 2,3 layout. With the Business Inketjet 2600, one chose "11x17 sheet, booklet printing, left-hand binding, print on both sides." But this was all done in the printer driver, not in MS Word.
I hope this clears things up.

Photoshop CS6 printing with Mac OS 10.10.2

I recently attempted to print a 13x19 photo on a Canon PIXMA 9500MarkII color printer using CS6. The printer driver continually reported an paper since error. Eventually, I gave up and tried to print the same photo with Apple's Preview application and it worked.
I contacted Canon support and they responded that the printing with Photoshop CS6 version 13.0.6 x64 is not compatible with OS 10.10.2.
Does anyone have a solution or know if Adobe will be updating CS6?

No.

Can't print with PC but can print with Mac!?

Please save me from going crazy!
I'm trying to turn my USB printer into wireless and have tried EVERYTHING and put in HOURS of work with all different types of print servers, devices, etc.
I bought an Airport Express and loaded Bonjour into my Windows 8 machine. It detects my printer, connects to my Express but simply doesn't print! I've tried EVERYTHING with editing my ports, changing it to LPR instead of RAW, etc. but with no sucess. When I connected my MacBook to my Express, IT PRINTS with no problems!!!
I can't for the life of me figure it out and my Windows machine needs to be able to print as I'm using it for work.
Any suggestions, tips, clues as to what I'm doing wrong? Apple Care and bringing it into a store gets me nowhere. Please help! I will pay someone $50 dollars via PayPal as your reward for helping me figure this mind boggling problem out!
Thank you!!!
Gregory

USB printers are a pain.. it might not work at all from windows.. that is just the reality.
USB printers are local printers that plug into your computer.. save your $50.. and the cost of the next couple of sets of ink cartridges or toners and go and buy a network printer. ie one that is designed to work in a network.
If you want to pursue this..
1. How did you name the Express.. and its wireless?
Names should all be short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
2. What printer is it? If you plug it in via USB to the computer does it work?
3. Once you have it working plugged into the computer change it to print to IP of the airport express and see if that works.
You can do this without bonjour..
See this video for example of setting up printing to Extreme (same thing) by printing directly to the TCP/IP port.

It is windows 7 but 8 should be much harder .. naturally MS took away the easy access to everything .. but it is still there for the most part.

HP600 M601dn printer with mac computer

I have set up the printer with the assigned email address at the eprint center. But, it is telling me that my printer does not support eprint. It clearly says on the web site in the description that it does support eprint. It also has the eprint ensigna on it.
Also, I have not installed an app in my phone. I don't see where to get the app.
I need to be walked through this process.

Hui frab,
This is very unusual. Is it possible for you to grab a screenshot of what you are seeing for me?

Booklet printing with latest update to Reader X

The latest Adobe Reader X update has made booklet printing impossible for me. I am getting , on successive sheets, pages 28 & 25, 26 & 27, 30 & 23, 24 & 29, 32 & 21 and so on until it is all printed on one side of the paper only. Previously I was getting pages 28 & 25, 30 & 23, 32 & 21... 50 & 3, 52 & 1, and then I reinsert the paper and get 2 & 51, 4 & 49 etc, so that when the paper is folded in half I have a properly ordered booklet. It seems that the update is a botch job and the only solution I could find was to do a system restore to the pevious version. The problem now is that I can no longer update without getting the botch update back again.

Dear user bwbuckley,
The problem reported by you is different than other problems reported in this thread.
the document could not be printed error comes in following scenarios:
1) Either the printer is not available.
2) Printer is available but driver not responding. Make sure that other applications are printing from your system.3
3) If other applications are not working fine then i would suggest you to update the printer driver on your machine.
4) The most common case of this error is when you try to print a pdf that has been created using third party application which does not conforms to pdf standards. Although, we did print such files using previous version i.e. 9.X of reader
5) The next workaround is to try unchecking THE auto rotate setting on print dialog and that should resolve the problem.
Thanks,
Atul

HP Pro 200 M276nw Color Printer Duplex printing with Mac OSX Yosemite 10.10

So, I have been trying to use the duplex printing feature with my Mac. However, I havne't been able to figure it out. I see the option for manual duplex printing, but the actual duplex printing feature is not working.
Any advice?

Hi @joshcooley09 ,
I see that you are experiencing issues duplexing from Yosemite. I will certainly do my best to help you.
Did you download and install the latest software for Yosemite for the printer?
HP LaserJet Pro 200 Color M276 Full Feature Software and Drivers.
Check the driver name that is installed for the printer. Make sure it shows just the printer's name.
Click the Apple menu and then click System Preferences. Click Printers & Scanners, highlight the printer name on the left side and on the right side of the screen it should show the printer's name. (Laserjet M276)
If the full printer name isn't listed correctly, delete it and add the printer name back in from the list. Click the - sign to delete the driver and then click the + sign to add the driver, might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name to add it in.
Now try and print two sided.
On the File menu, click the Print option.
Open the Finishing menu, and click the Manual Duplex tab or open the Manual Duplex menu.
Click the Manual Duplex box and select a binding option.
Click the Print button. Follow the instructions in the pop-up window that appears on the computer screen before replacing the output stack in Tray 1 for printing the second half.
If the issue persists, connect the printer to the Mac by a USB cable and test the printer. Just to rule out a network issue, if the printer is networked.
How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet/Wireless)
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a nice day!
