Acrobat print driver for double-sided option?

i pretty much feel like i am brain dead or something since moving back to mac OS when it comes to printing - and that is saying something considering i moved from windows.
in any event, despite the fact i have had a ton of help in trying to figure this out i still cannot figure out how to get an option to print double-sided on my HP officejet pro. every time i get in one of these to print to a second paper tray or to create black and white only prints or two to a page or whatever i feel like i am in some hall of mirrors created by mc escher. i /have/ gone in and set presets on the mac pro for 2 to a page through 16 to a page for black and white and for color prints and i have gone ahead and done the same for my laptop as well (sigh) - however something as simple as printing to a second tray for 11 x 17 or 12 x 18 paper on the epson (i move the trays /manually/ from to the first slot to get this to work) or printing 2 sided out of acrobat (i still can't figure this out) is mind bogglignglingling.
can anyone help me figure this out? i go rooting around around in here and then just flat out give up.
am i printing out of a mac user interface and i need to download an acrobat driver or something? someone helped me out on this earlier and i am trying to get it all finalized as best i can...
THANKS

hi eric. big thanks.
i am attaching the screenshot showing the two-sided HP option (in this case it is buried under "Driver").
i don't know but for the record - i am in 2014 and every email i get says "think of the environment before you print" and HP and Mac OS and Adobe can't get it together enough to let me /easily/ print to two sided paper???? am i missing something or is burying this setting in Settings > Select Your Printer > Driver a total wormhole and - well, why after checking this am i still at a loss to print to two sided paper out of Acrobat? i have an 104 page pdf document sitting here i can't print.
i mean, i think eric was kind enough to point this setting out to me before (and lord knows mother earth dearly hopes that the checkmark is the default setting...) but why with these three powerhouses am i still at a loss to get to two-sided out of acrobat?
at least Preview buries other things and leaves this one option staring me in the face each time i print...
THANKS

Smartform Printing Problem for double sided printing

Hi Techies,
I have created a smartform for invoice printing, using double side printing.
The requirement is that in the front page, page number has to be printed and at the back side static text is to be printed. So if my line items exceed to two pages. Than in printing, it is getting priinted as "Page 1 of 4" for the 1st invoice items page and "Page 3 of 4" for the second items page. But the client is asking it to be printed as "Page 1 of 2" & "Page 2 of 2" respectively.
Currently I am using Page&SFSY-PAGE& of &SFSY-FORMPAGES&.
Can anyone guide me how to achieve this requirement.
Thanks & Regards,
Vinit.

Hi vinit,
better u declare your own variable . and check with sfsy , the footer window must be final window
data : lv_page type sfsy-page,
lv_tot_page type sfsy-page.
if sfsy-formpages > 2.
lv_tot_page = sfsy-page / 2.
if sfsy-page >2
lv_page = sfsy-page - 1.
else.
lv_page = sfsy-page.
endif.
else .
lv_page = sfsy-page.
lv_tot_page = sfsy-formpages.
endif

Picking up the printer settings for Double or single sided?

Hi All,
Do anyone have a solution for picking up the printer settings for the PO SAPscript so that if the printer can do double sided it should print double sided but if it can only do single sided, it should print single sided?
Thanks & Regards,
Sudheer.

Hi Frank
1. To change it manually you have to deselect the following option:
Edit>Preferences>Type> Use Typographer's Quotes.
2. To access the option through vb script use the following syntax:
Document.TextPreference.TypographersQuotes
May be this will help you.

Mac Printer Driver for IKON Business Pro 500 c

I have a PowerPC G4 running OS 10.3.9. I work in an office that has a networked IKON Business Pro 500c multifunction printer. Anyone know where I can locate a printer driver for that printer so that I can access the printer features from my Mac ?

Updated my Windows 8 to Windows 8.1, which removed my print driver for an Officejet 7210 all-in-one. Attempted to reinstall. Error that file not found. Followed detailed process to a tee (deleted temp files, removed startup programs, everything). Driver doesn't work but printer does with other computers.

Hi LChristofaro,
I have researched your error message and the Msiexec.exe error and it is an issue with windows installer. I recommend restarting your windows installer.
To do this:
1. Run "Services.msc" (without the quotation marks).
2. Double-click "Windows Installer" in the Services list.
3. Click Stop and click OK.
4. Click Start and click OK.
Restart you computer and try the install again.
Let me know if this helped.
Thank you,

Printer driver for Canon MP730

i am am totally fed up with my HP 8500 officejet printer (paper jam all the time). I want to start using my older printer (Canon MP 730) again in combination with an iMac running on OS X Yosemite
DId anyone find a printer driver for a Canon MP 730 that works properly with an iMac running on OS X Yosemite? I am only using the printing and scanning function of the Canon MP 730 (do not use the fax).

The MP730 was released in 2003 and support ended in 2010. The last OS X driver that Canon released was for Mac OS X 10.6 and this will not install on Yosemite.
So your options are Gutenprint v5.2.10, which is free, or PrintFab, which costs €49.
Note that Gutenprint v5.2.10 is not digitally signed for Yosemite so its installation will be blocked by Gatekeeper. To get past Gatekeeper, right-click on the Gutenprint installer package and select Open from the pop-up menu that appears. Now you will get the option to install.

Output.Print printing all PDFs double-sided

Hello
According to the following article it is possible to configure a PDF to print single or double sided in the Adobe LiveCycle Designer:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/9.0/designerHelp/index.htm?content=000089.html#15813 85
I follow these exact steps and configure the PDF Template "Printing" setting at the (Master Pages) hierarchy to "Print on Front Side Only" and then print the PDF by using the LiveCycle Output ES service. The PDF continuously prints double-sided regardless of the value I set. Interestingly enough the printer properties are configured to print single sided on the OS and if I print the PDF using Adobe Reader it prints single-sided. This leads me to believe that the Output service is specifically telling the printer "print me double-sided".
Any help would be appreciated.
I'm running Adobe LiveCycle ES version 8.0.1

Thank you for the reference. It was included in the LiveCycle install I just had to move over a copy to the JBoss directory that the article specified. It is an easier way of testing I found that if I set the output file type to PDF the document prints double-sided but if I change the output file type to PCL or PostScript it prints single-sided. Unfortunately we currently generate all our documents as a PDF output and it seems like we would have to make a subsequent call to the Output service for every document we generate just to have a PostScript output. I'm sure it goes without saying this is not very efficient.
Thanks again for the reference it did help solidify my findings that the issue does lie with the Output service and how it handles the PDF file type. I have a ticket open with Adobe Support if they get back to me with a helpful response I will post it to this thread. I can't possibly be the only one experiencing this issue.

Printing reports on double-sided pages

Is there a way in Oracle reports to force each record to print on an even number of pages? This is for double-sided printing. Thanks for any help or advice.

I found this on one of the forums, similar to your suggestion:
"I am printing statements on a double-sided stationary capable printer. To ensure that each new statement starts on a new physical piece of paper, I need to add a blank page if the previous statement had an odd number of page sides. How can I do this?
Place an invisible boilerplate line before the repeating frame that contains your data. Give it a Page Break before and anchor it to the repeating frame. Then write a format trigger that only prints the boilerplate object (and thus the page break) if it is an odd page number. "
I've tried this but it isn't working for me. I'm using your logic for printing the page:
v_page number;
begin
srw.get_page_num(v_page);
if mod(v_page,2)=0
then
return (FALSE); --if an even page don't print
else
return (TRUE); --if an odd page do print
end if;
end;
Any idea why it's not working?

Printing PDF files double-sided

Using an HP Photosmart Plus B210a - how do I print PDF files double-sided. I can print Word documents etc. this way but do not seem to have the option when opening a PDF file.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi,
You might experiment with a page or two first.
1.Choose File > Print.
2.From the Subset pop-up menu in the Print Range area, select Even Pages Only.
3.Click OK or Print.
4.If the total number of pages is odd, add a blank sheet so the final odd page has a sheet to print on.
5.Put the stack of printed paper back into the supply (source) paper tray so that the unprinted sides print. Point the top of the pages toward the printer. Make sure that the edges of the paper stack are square.
6.Choose File > Print and select Odd Pages Only from the Subset menu.
7.Select the Reverse Pages option. In this scenario, the Reverse pages option ensures that the page sequence is correct.
8.Click OK or Print.

10.6 snow leopard printer driver for Z23

Help!! I looked and looked everywhere for a printer driver for Z23 on OS 10.6. I tried to load the optional installation from CD but, after installing, it did not list Z23 and it screwed up my other printer drivers. I got Z23 printer from Apple Store when I purchased Mini Mac with OS 10.2. But, the mini mac died and I had to purchase iMac with 10.5 and then upgraded to 10.6. So, I really need a Lexmark Z23 printer driver for Mac OS 10.6 so bad. Please expedite. I really appreciate it.

The last driver for the Z23 for Mac is for OS X 10.3. <http://support.lexmark.com/index?locale=en&productCode=Z23COLOR_JETPRINTER&userlocale=EN_US&segment=DOWNLOAD&os=MAC_OS_X_10_3_X&page=downl oadsList&oslocale=enUS#1> That's it, there ain't no more. It's no longer supported and hasn't been for a very long time. I had a Z23 many years ago and was less than impressed with its performance then. (The very first item on the FAQ: "Why is my Z23 so slow?" and no, they weren't joking.) And that thing shipped with just a colour cart, you needed to buy the black cart separately... and it wasn't easy to find the black carts. You're gonna need a new printer. Sorry, but them's the facts.

Adobe ps printer driver for windows vista. Where can I get it?

I need Adobe ps printer driver for windows vista. Where can i get it? Plz help me. If yes, then where and if no, why?
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks.

The Acrobat printer produces a PS file that is then sent to the Distiller process to create a PDF. The other PPD you mention is something I know nothing about. However, why would you want to use a different driver? The Adobe PDF driver is optimized for use in creating PDF files and other routes may not produce as good of a result. If the other PPD produces a PDF, then why are you asking about the Adobe driver?

Is there a Macintosh OS 8.6 or 9.0.4 printer driver for an HP PSC 2355?

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:
I know this is very old {don't laugh}, but I was looking for a Macintosh OS 8.6 or 9.0.4 printer driver for my recently purchased HP PSC 2355 All-in-One printer.
I run OS X 10.5.8 on an Apple iBook G4 and also run a Mac OS 9.0.4 emulator on it called SheepShaver. Trouble is SheepShaver will only run up to Mac OS 9.0.4 and the HP PSC 2355 minimum drivers are for Mac OS 9.1.
I would love to be able to print from SheepShaver and the scanner features are unimportant to me under Mac OS 9.
Are there printing drivers (even from a different, but compatible printer) that would allow me to print from this printer under Mac OS 9.0.4?
Thank you so much!

Hello,
When you say you recently purchased the PSC 2355, i believe this is a very old printer.
I am not sure on how the SheepShaver works but we do have the printer driver available for 10.9 on hp.com. The first link mentioned below will take to the product page. Rest all are some of the InkJet and DeskJet drivers.
