Always prints 2 pages when one will suffice

A simple but possibly stupid question.
I print many items and if I forget to specify which pages to print, I usually get a wasted sheet of paper
with perhaps one line of unecessary print.
Is there any way that my machine can be programmed to only print 'full page' second sheets?
I have a mountain of 'note paper' with useless one line messages on.!!

Stufoxy, welcome to the forum.
What is the model of the printer? This is necessary to review the specs.
Signature:
HP TouchPad - 1.2 GHz; 1 GB memory; 32 GB storage; WebOS/CyanogenMod 11(Kit Kat)
HP 10 Plus; Android-Kit Kat; 1.0 GHz Allwinner A31 ARM Cortex A7 Quad Core Processor ; 2GB RAM Memory Long: 2 GB DDR3L SDRAM (1600MHz); 16GB disable eMMC 16GB v4.51
HP Omen; i7-4710QH; 8 GB memory; 256 GB San Disk SSD; Win 8.1
HP Photosmart 7520 AIO

PS CS6 13.0 x64 prints two pages when one copy is set.

I have an image that when I print it, to a printer or to PDF generates two pages of the same thing when only one copy is selected.
The Layer> merge layers, merge visible and flatten are all greyed out so it looks like only one layer is there.
I'm on a MacBook (not Pro) Core2 duo circa 2008 running 10.8 and haven't any idea how to make it print only one page from within PS.
About all I can propose to get past this is to print to PDF, delete the extra page then print it from Preview or Acrobat, but I'd like to know how to stop Photoshop from doing what it's doing in the first place.
Any ideas out there? What other info do you need?

It might have something to do with the print menu which always says Range: page 1 to page 2, even though there is only one page worth printing. It's quite illogical to print a second page when only one is there. If I wanted two pages of the same thing that's what copies are for.
As near as I can tell, a range would only be used for an image that doesn't fit on one page. My image is less than 5cm high and less than that wide. (It's the same size as the lit apple logo on the lid of my Mac, which is what the image is of.)
I tried setting and saving the default from range to single, but even then it prints two pages of the same thing both to a physical printer and a PDF file, and when I next print the range is back to page 1 to page 2. This is all without even exiting PS. Do I have to restart PS for the default to take effect?
Why can't I save a default? Is this a directory permission thing, and why don't I get an error that they can't be saved if permissions are the reason?

How do you get rid of white space when you are printing multiple pages to one sheet of paper?

How do you get rid of extra white space when you are printing multiple pages to one sheet of paper? When printing multiple pages to one sheet of paper Acrobat won't let you select the "zoom" for printing.
Thanks

Your printer should have a little window on the top for you to set the Language, Power Setting, Paper Size and Print Quality etc.

Print multiple pages on one page in Preview?

I tried to print a PDF in OSX Lion and I was unable to find the option to print multiple pages on one Page. Instead there is an option to print multiple copies of pages on one page. Does anybody know where I can find the old option from (as in Snow Leopard, Leopard, Tiger..)? (See screenshot.)
Thanks!

Look under the "Vorschau" menu for the Layout menu, and then choose "Seiten pro Blatt."
Hope this helps.

Let me guess you are not on OSX (10.6.5), which means you are using which version of Pages?

When I eprint a picture from my blackberry, it always prints two pages.

I have the hp photosmart 5512. When I eprint a photo from my blackberry, a second page always prints, stating that it was sent via at&t blackberry. I would love to avoid wasting a sheet of photo paper for each picture printed. Is there a setting where I can fix this? Is it something on my phone?

Hello kbock.
This is something to be resolved at your Blackberry e-mail application settings, which I don't have to help you further.

PSC 1510 always prints test page on startup; settings menu no help

Hi,
My HP PSC 1510 All-in-one printer always prints a test page when I start it up, wasting ink and paper. I tried two things, neither of which solved the problem:
- Checking the settings, services, and every other menu I could find for any related options. Some other random help forums said there was a "print test page on startup" option somewhere, but I found nothing of that nature.
- Aligning the printer, as instructed by the test page it keeps printing out. Its first alignment failed, but the second alignment seemed to work. However, it still printed a test page the next time I started it up.
Extra information: I'm on Windows XP, and HP Software Update tells me there are no newer updates available. Also, this printer was sitting in the closet for a couple years--I only just recently hooked it up and gave it a new ink cartridge (so I can't say how it behaved before I gave it a new cartridge since it was on the shelf with no ink for a long time).
Thanks!

Lexmark T630 network printer - always prints 2 pages per sheet

I'm trying to setup a Lexmark T630 for printing under Leopard 10.5.2. The printer prints just fine, but it always prints documents as half a sheet, thus, printing 1 a document with 1 page results in a sheet that has the page printed on one half and the other half is blank (as landscape). 2 pages will result in a landscape that has both pages on one sheet, next to each other.
Layout -> Pages per sheet is set to '1' .
I've tried setup with AppSocket,IPP or LPD , using the Lexmark provided driver (both from Apple and from lexmark.com) and a generic postscript driver.
I've tried various paper sizes (the paper is A4) , I've tried printing in landscape and portrait, scaling the pages to 50% or 200% and anything else I could think of.
Event the 'print test page' from http://localhost:631 (the CUPS web service) results in half a page, landscape, with the test page on the left side as a portrait.
Any Ideas..?

Did you try throwing away the com.apple.printing files in your <home>/Library/Preferences folder? It sounds like a preferences file, but you could also try resetting the print system by holding down the control key while clicking in the list of printers in Print and Fax Prefs.
Hope this helps.

Always prints 2 pages

yet another challange. Everytime I print in pages it will spit out a second blank page. It says "page 1 of 1" but it always, when done with the print, kick out another sheet of blank paper. weird

hi there. I got exactly the same Problem with my HP5000 laser. I checked all the software settings (ie correct paper size), checked cups for endpapers, ereased the printer que - no luck.
Now I got another idea now. My printer is connected via a router, i heard that at times the driver and this network set up causes problems. I am going to check my router, often routers have the option of inserting another sheet to seperate print jobs from different users.
I just posted this to give you a few ideas, and I keep you posted if my router was the issue. Is your printer directly connected?

C5280 prints black page when copying and scanning

Can anybody help please.
C5280 prints a black page when I want to copy or scan but it prints ok from the computer. The light seems to be working on it. I am unable to reinstall with the disc as the CD drive is not working now. Does it need to be reinstalled.
Thanks for any help possible.

Hi @Dani77 ,
I see by your post that you are getting a black page when copying and scanning from the printer. You can print fine and you updated the HP software, the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet and you have the same results.
I would really like to be able to help you resolve this issue.
I wasn't sure whether you just updated the printer software on the printer or the firmware.
If you haven't already, please update the printer's firmware. HP LaserJet Pro M1536dnf Multifunction Printer Drivers.
Disconnect the USB or Ethernet cable from the printer.
Make sure the printer is still connected directly to a 3 prong wall outlet.
Try making a copy with a blank sheet.
If the output is blank, then try and copy a text document.
I will send you another step to try in a private message.
In the forum beside your handle name just click on the envelope to view it.
How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet)
Please let me know the outcome.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

Printer prints blank pages when I turn it on

When I turn my printer on it starts to endlessly print blank pages for no reason. I have checked the print log and there isn't anything waiting to be printed. I have reset the printer, unplugged the power supply, and reset my computer. None of this worked. I have a HP PSC 1410 All-in-one.

Have you tried disconnecting the printer from the computer?
1. Power off the printer.
2. Disconnect the USB cable from the back of the printer.
3. Power on the printer.
Does it still print continously?

PDFs are always printed 2 pages per sheet

My system was reformatted recently and everything had to be reinstalled.
Acrobat Reader XI (11.0.2) and Acrobat Pro 9 (9.0.0*) are now having problems when printing PDFs: every PDF is always printed at 2 pages per sheet. The resulting 4-point type printouts are not useable.
Word prints 1 page per sheet.
I'm not exactly sure where to even start troubleshooting this. Any suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks in advance!
*Yes, 9.0.0. When I accepted the last automatic update, Acrobat Pro started crashing on startup. I uninstalled and reinstalled, and am very, very wary about accepting an update right now.

Well, that was interesting.
After running the Acrobat Cleaner from the above link, on both Acrobat Pro 9.0 and Reader 11.0.2, it looked like everything was gone.
However, the company uses CA's IT Client Manager, and its DSM Software Delivery Catalog thinks that Acrobat Pro is still installed. So does Add/Remove Programs.
Six system reboots and A long call with the help desk later, my case has been escalated to the CA team and we'll see what happens now.
Reader 11.0.2 is reinstalled, and now? It can't print AT ALL. I get this instead of a printout:
ERROR: undefined
OFFENDING COMMAND: Pscript_WinNT_Compat

Stop printing multiple pages on one sheet

When printing from Acrobat or Reader, the print preview and settings show that I am printing a single page on one sheet of paper. However, it actually prints two pages side-by-side on one sheet of paper. How would I stop this? This is the only program that does this. I have checked all printing settings in all Adobe products as well as the printer settings in the device's properties. Your help is greatly appreciated.

It seems like an issue the with PostScript drivers installed on the machine. Did you install the latest version of PS Drivers on the customer's machine?
You can also check this:
Click on Advanced
Select PostScript options
Select Language Level 2
and then try.
