Double sided printing from an Epson sx425w in mac

Hi everyone,
I've been reading posts by others regarding problems with double sided printing on mac. Since I changed to a mac, I havent been able to print double sided from my epson sx425w printer. This can be quite annoying if you a lot of pages to print. The double sided print option is just disabled so I cant even select it and I dont have the option of "Duplexer" or "Duplex Printing" as suggested in other posts. Besides, I've not been able to use my scanner since upgrading to Mavericks-I know others have had similar problems too.
Anyone come across similar problems?
Thanks

Thanks for your reply. I think epson has just released a new scanner driver which I've downloaded and is now working. As for the printer, they said it's not possible to print double sided from this particular model in mac as it does not have the duplex unit. Hence the only solution is to print from windows or buy another printer with a duplex unit. I only found out after posting the question. Here's a link to the scanner software-http://esupport.epson-europe.com/FileDetails.aspx?lng=en-GB&data=FCFfEfoyEiFBBDU 002FXyeTVD1rAPvGEp+uonLZf8Ez0bAEU003D&id=377764

  • How to show the layout option for double-sided printing on Acrobat Pro X on Mac?

    Adobe Acrobat Pro X version 10.0.0 print dialog does not show the option to select Layout for two-sided (double-sided) printing. How to fix it?
    System: Mac OS X 10.6.6 on Mactel
    Thanks.

    David,
    Wow, it worked. Many thanks. This is what I did, following your directions to print PDF files as double-sided:
    01-Command P & Click "Printer button".
    02-Click Yes.
    03-Click the Popup Arrow to display contents.
    04-Select Two-sided "Long-Edge binding" or whatever needed and Click Print.
    05-Click OK to Print.
    What fooled me is that from Word (.doc) files the screen on step 3 and 4 show directly selecting a popup menu on the initial print window, whereas when printing PDF files it is required to go through steps 1-2-3 above.
    Again, many thanks. You made my day!!!

  • Double sided printing from iPhoto

    I am new to the latest version of iPhoto, and have a new 24" iMac. I am playing with calendars and cards, and can not print any of these as double sided. I have a duplex printer, and can print double sided from this computer in other applications.
    My research on this found info on clicking the "duplex printing" under the settings button in the tool bar in iPhoto. However, I have no such button in the settings that I can find anywhere. If I try to set it in the print window, it just says this paper or paper size is not supported. Yet I know it is. The box for duplex is greyed out.
    Perhaps this is an uber-basic thing I've just missed, but I can't find anything. Does anyone know?
    Thanks from Michigan! Lynne

  • Help! double sided printing.

    Hi, i recently purchased my first macbook air (os x 10.9.2) and have loaded my printer on however can not find any options or buttons to print double sided or duplex printing in word (office for mac 2011). I know my Brother MFC-J6510DW CUPS does do the double sided printing as i used to always do it it on my previous laptop.

    I have an Epson double-sided printer, so what I'm about to suggest will hopefully apply.
    If, for example, I wanted to double-sided print from Safari, I would do File > Print from Safari's menu.  Then a box would pop up showing paper orientation, etc.  Toward the bottom is a clickable row that says "Safari".  Click that and choose "Output Settings".   That's where the two sided options appear.

    The sx425w is not listed on:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669
    which means you are totally dependent on the Epson drivers.  There are sx420w drivers, which may work for it, or may not.  Contact Epson for details.
    The sx425w drivers for Print and Scan has not been updated since 2010:
    http://esupport.epson-europe.com/FileDetails.aspx?lng=en-IE&data=FCFfEfoyEiHIEHY ej3fxPyCU002F5lk7kA7sM98zHIPBYkwU003D&id=327010

    (scan)
    And as such may still have elements to try to maintain compatibility with applications requiring old PowerPC code, which won't work with Mac OS X 10.7 or later.
    The good news is that they mention the sx420w driver.    So that suggests after applying it, and the update from Apple:
    Epson Printer Drivers v2.17 for OS X
    It may work.  Repairing permissions with Disk Utility may help after all is said and done.  Otherwise at least for scanning you may be forced to use open source drivers on my FAQs*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/printersx.html
    http://www.macmaps.com/macosxnative.html#SCANNER
    Alternatively for duplex printing, you could print just even pages at one time, and then rotate the pages 180 degrees and flip them upside down and print odd pages to achieve duplex printing.  Test first with only a couple pages in the tray until you get the sequence right.
    * Links to my macmaps pages may give me compensation.

  • When using AirPrint is it possible to select double sided printing

    I am trying to use AirPrint to print from the Pages app on iPad Air running IOS 8.1.1. Is it possible to select any of the printer options, such as double-sided printing, when doing this?
    Many thanks

    Once you start to print using AirPrint, a display appears where you select the printer and options. Presumably the HP is your only AirPrint printer (as the Epson is mine). On that same screen, I can select the number of copies, and I also see an on/off slider for "Double Sided".

  • How do I enable double sided printing on my iPad through the HP ePrint app?

    HP Laser jet 1102w
    I have Windows 7 64 bit and a original iPad.
    I would like to save paper when I am printing from my iPad. Is there a setting to enable double-sided printing when printing from an iPad using the HP ePrint app?

    Hi,
    Printing a manual duplex printing is not supported by the HP ePrint app or AirPrint as well, it can only be done with printers who provide automatic two-sided printing.

  • How do I use the double sided printing with my HP Officejet 6500A plus

    I need help with learning to use the double sided printing with my HP Officejet 6500A Plus

    Click on the Show Details button just above:
    You can configure various options from the dropdown menu just below Orientation.
    Printing two-sided requires a two-sided adaptor for the printer. Otherwise, you have to print out odd numbered pages first, turn them over and reinsert into the paper feeder, then print even numbered pages. If you do it right you get a nice two-sided document. If you do it wrong all the even numbered pages will be upside down.

  • How can I permanently disable double sided printing in Acrobat Reader 11.0.09?

    It is annoying to have to manually turn off double sided printing every time I print a *.pdf.  Is this fixable?

    Hi prtlaw,
    Are you still look for answer?
    These option are available with printer drivers. So, this is something you need to check from printer http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows/choosing-print-options#1TC=windows-7
    Or change the properties of every document:

  • Double-sided print no longer showing up since upgrade to 10.10.2

    Since updating to 10.10.2, I can't find the double-sided print option on the Print menu (single-sided print and copy have worked fine) for my Epson WF-3640.  I am upgrading again now to 10.10.3 to see if that helps.  Any ideas?

  • 7410 double sided printing

    Well here I am again with printing problems.
    I have a Mac Book Pro using OS 10.9.5, Mavericks. I managed to resolve my Print/Scan problem with Shlomil's help. Also, he helped me some time ago with a double sided printing problem. Now I find I have the same double sided printing problem but am unable to follow his advice (which fixed the problem last time)....
    Now, The two sided printing box does not appear on the print drop down menu! So, I went on to the following (using the last advice Shlomil provided)...
    "1. Verify the duplex-printing accessory has been installed properly. To verify this open the System Preferences and go to Printers & Scanners. Open the print queue of your printer. Click on Printer Setup and from the tab menu choose Driver. Verify the box next to HP Two-sided Printing Accessory (Duplexer) is checked."  
    However, when I select the "Open Print Queue" there is no "Printer Setup" on the tab menu. So, I can't verify the "HP Two-sided Printing Accessory (Duplexer) is checked " (unless I'm doing something wrong). I  and went on to #2. 
    2. On the File menu, select Print. The Print window appears.
    NOTE: The Print window might be minimized. Click on Show Deatils to see all available settings.
    3. In the expanded Print window you will find next to Copies the checkbox for Two-Sided. Check the box.
    NOTE: If the checkbox does not appear within the specific application print dialog, skip this step.
    I skipped the above step since the two sided printing box does not appear on the print drop down Menu (and no expanded print window available).
    I  went on to #4.
    4. To select the binding type click the lowest selection box listed as the name of the program (e.g. TextEdit)
    Will appear as Copies & Pages within Microsoft Office applications.
    5. Select Layout from the drop-down menu.
    6. Set the Two-Sided option as Long-Edge binding (Portrait), or Long-Edge binding (landscape).
    Now, I don't show a "binding type" In the Layout" selection in the drop-down menu, etc.
    Shlomil suggested if this didn't work to reset the printing system. I'm really scared to do that because I have 3 printers and a scanner in different locations. When I selected the reset printing system the drop down said it would delete everything...all printers, scanners, faxes, etc.
     Is there any other less severe solution? I'm stumped! This all worked before (two sided printing, print/scan). The only thing I can think of is when I correct permissions or update to a newer OS.
    Please HELP! 
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Well...I can't believe it!  Please disregard my ramblings.
    I mucked around in the printer stuff and in System Preferences "Printers & Scanners", selected "Options & Supplies"  rather than the "Open Print Queue" and then selected "Options". The  "HP Two-sided Printing Accessory (Duplex)" box was located there. It was not checked. Although I don't know how it got unchecked, I checked it and it fixed my problems.
    Thanks Again

  • HP Laserjet 1300 Manual Double Sided Printing with Windows 7

    I just purchased a new laptop with windows 7, love the interface but have some hiccups here and there.  And the one that is the biggest pain is printing.  I have a HP Laserjet 1300 connected via a linksys print server.  Single sided printing works just fine, but I used to be able to (and still can from my work laptop running XP and from my wifes Laptop running Vista Home) print double sided manually.  But now even though it says duplex, it will not work and I think the Windows Driver believes that it is a duplexer attached to the printer verses a manual feature.  Any ideas on how to get my manual double sided printing back?

    Nice one...
    I found you can also modify the "Manual Duplex Help" section to provide instructions to the user while duplex printing :
    The following prn_grp displays pictures similar to the Laserjet 1300 and has the right procedure (take the printed pages and place them in the same orientation in the tray) :
    <prn_grp models="HP LaserJet 1300;HP LASERJET 1300N;c5c5f890996e5fc5d7ffd96f8c759f2d ;555a2593970cf8b77ec5e1c722373e36 ;065e3643626aa153eb624120e21031cc ;5541b14acbc6bb39fefc0967181142e0 ;e6885ab28dbc6e127ae4963acf4d8ccc ;8f6b80f605bb593212acd699c0516d06 ;1d9e0f01c72b2d0001e58751826b42ac ;f77381023eb218bd6c75fbb5cd55337e ;8da5efe243e316c3fbd7ccd09d330f48 ;60caa8832f86a2502a3e4f31c6aa82f5 ;d1eb75d092f98ee058366d6d32b1c5d1 ;acb248ba464fba4feeac598ee070e4da;25b289c5a1af52c4c30c70e60d6a5486;

    More importantly, I was also able to modify the hpcu1306.xml file to enable full 1200 dpi support, by adding the following prn_grp at the end of the "Print Quality" section (after the hp LaserJet 9040 prn_grp and before the closing "</feature>")
    <prn_grp models="HP LaserJet 1300;HP LASERJET 1300N;">

    <option name="PQGroup_2"/>
    <option name="PQGroup_4"/>
    <option name="PQGroup_5"/>
    </fname>
    </prn_grp>
    NB : PQGroup_2 is for 600 dpi, PQGroup_4 is for FastRes 1200 dpi (fast) and PQGroup_5 is for ProRes 1200 dpi (finer, slower, more memory used).
    The modified hpcu1306.xml file is available here : http://pastebin.com/6UxtcSaZ

  • How do I get my Canon ip400 to do double sided printing on my Mac?

    i have a canon pixma ip4000 printer that can do duplex or double sided printing. it works fine on my pc but my mac wont let me choose the two sided option... ant ideas how to get this to work??

    I have the same printer and this is what you do. Say your in Safari, go to Print and under Orientation there is a box which says Safari and has a drop down arrow. Click on this arrow and from the drop down list select Duplex Printing & Margin, check the box against Automatic Duplex Printing and select any further options as you want. Click Print.

  • Double sided printing on HP officejet 7410 and windows 8.1

    I recently had to upgrade to a new computer with Windows 8.1 and after downloading the driver for my old HP Officejet 7410 All in One WITH the double sided printing attachment, I cannot get it to print on both sides automatically, as in the printer setup there is only "print one page" or manually print double sided.  I continue to get the manual print instructions to turn the pages over.  I have downloaded the driver twice and cannot find an option for the double sided driver.  The printer still prints double sided automatically with the other old computer i have.
       Help ~ wanting to print double sided!

    I have the same problem.  I have the HP Officejet 7410 that supports automatic double sided printing.  I recently upgraded to Windows 8.1.  I installed the most recent software and drivers from the HP support site.  But automatic double sided printing is no longer an option.  What's up with that HP?  How about a fix?

    Hello! I cannot figure out how to turn off double sided printing. I do not see an option in the system print dialogue or on the printing settings itself. When I remove the double sided attachment from the back of the printer - it won't feed the paper properly. Help!

    Hi,
    Please follow the steps below in order to disable two-sided printing:
    On the File menu, select Print. The Print window appears.
    NOTE: The Print window might be minimized. Click the blue triangle next to the printer name to see all available settings.

    Will appear as Copies & Pages within Microsoft Office applications.
    Select Layout from the drop-down menu.
    Set the Two-Sided option as Off.
    You may save the settings for future use by clicking Presets > Save Current Settings as Preset... Any used preset will remain default till another preset will be used.
