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.

  • 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.

  • 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 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

  • Booklet Printing with Officejet J6480

    I was wondering if there are any tutorials for printing an Adobe PDF in Booklet form to make a book using a J6480?
    I tried earlier but the print was very small, too small to read and the pages weren't consecutive. I chose Left Binding and Fit t to Page with 2 pages per side. I think I should have chosen Print Last Page First but I didn't notice that option.
    The PDF is 200 pages long so I would naturally want to do this right . Can anyone help?

  • How do I set up a booklet to print with my Konica Minolta?

    how do I set up a booklet to print with my Konica Minolta?

    Is it a BizHub? If so, use the booklet printing from the Koncia driver.
    If it's like the one I have, click the Printer button at the bottom of InDesign's print dialog, then choose Layout/Finish from the drop down menu, and booklet from there.
    One thing to note: with this method, leave your paper size the same as one page of your document.

  • Help with Booklet printing in indesign

    Hi I am trying to set up a 8.5 x 11 brochure with double sided pages. the pages will originally be 17 x 11 so i can fold them into the correct size. how do I go about setting this up? I know i need to print duplex with saddle stitch but when i try to set up the 17 x 11 pages in indesign it makes the whole booklet that length. help....
    Message was edited by: Vikrant Rai: Updated the title

    Setup your document at 8.5 X 11 and then to create a booklet, use the Booklet Printing feature (File > Print Booklet).

  • Trouble with booklet printing -- InDesign CC 2014

    I'm having trouble printing booklet with new CC 2014. I print to postscript, but then PDF is not correct.  I see it's using Acrobat 8 driver;  how do I change that to Acrobat XI?

    Peter, I was/am having trouble explaining my trouble, so I am going to tell you what happened to me yesterday... This booklet printing issue started with me uninstalling my old Acrobat 8.... since I run XI Pro -- because it caught my eye, too, that now I, like many other CC users, have three (3) sets of software on my computer. So I got Acrobat 8 uninstalled, but then had to go back to work, and postposed dealing with the other CC program uninstalls. Yes, I am using CC to run my business.... lost 6 hours yesterday trying to cope with computer issues. So, I'm heading into InDesign to print a production file for a 24-page booklet for a client on a deadline, only to find out the ID CC 2014 is still looking for Acrobat 8, or my Epson printer. The only other option in the postscript print menu at that point is "device independent", which does not allow for page setup, hence the pdf (saved from the postscript file) comes out completely wrong. (showing a standard portrait letter page setup for a now landscape ledger size document)
    It took me 3 hours of search to find a post from 2012(!) that lead me to believe that if I could install (manually!...never done it before) a pdf9 PPD into the new ID CC 2014 Present folder it might just work. In fact, I had to manually program a brand new version of a software, which I've never done before -- I am not even close to a software engineer.
    I still don't understand why ID CC 2014 is not looking/routed to Acrobat Pro. But then the previous CC didn't either. It was running on Acrobat 8 PPD too.
    I manually built a 24-page printable booklet yesterday. Lost 6 hours of billable time. (installed pdf9PPD at midnight last night... I'll stay in business.) I see dozens of extensions in Extension Manager for ID CC 2014. Have no idea which one I would need, if any, to fix this issue, or where to install them.
    Thanks for listening! And for the follow up.

  • Booklet printing issue with PC Adobe X Reader

    I see that my issue was posted on April 18 by MA14urj.  However, since it was never answered, I am going to post it again.
    With Adobe Reader 9 - all versions - booklet printing worked great. With PC Adobe Reader X, if you try to print more than one copy, they all combine into one stapled copy. (As I type this, I am going back and forth, and printing 21 copies of a 38 page booket ONE AT A TIME).
    As MA14urj wrote, "With Adobe Reader 9.4 it was working fine, since Update on 10.0 / 10.0.1 we have the error on 2 or more copys of a document they are stapled togehter, so they are useless!"
    Someone please help us! Is there a solution? Is Apple working on this issue?
    Thank you.

    Adobe offers paid support for Reader. It used to be $39 per issue.
    Reader will not change paper sizes automatically. It offers to fit the page printed to any printed sheet size. This option is fits most people's needs since they do not have two trays. Brother should offer the ability to change the paper size and tray within their printer driver.

  • Trouble with Booklet Printing in OSX 10.6

    I recently ran an update for OSX 10.6 and ever since then, when I select the booklet print function, the print image does not rotate. In other words, the preview shows the document in a landscape format, but rotated to print as portrait. However, when I print it, the image is still in landscape but has not rotated, leaving a third of the image off of the page. (I have attached a pdf of what the output looks like.)
    Has anyone had the same issue? Any help would be appreciated.
    I use a OCE (Konica Minolta) copier with the latest print driver, however when I print with my VMware in Windows in Publisher, it prints my booklets correctly. I have the same problem using CS3 and CS5.

    10.6.5 introduced a couple of printing issues that have mostly been solved. We have a couple of Konicas but they use either Fiery in the case of the 8000 and Creo in the case of the BizHub for RIPping.
    One the Bizhub with the Creo rip we would get a similar error when printing directly from the driver, but printing to the hold queue and setting the printing properties from the RIP would correct it. Run through the exact same settings to the print queue and get an error.
    If you are using InDesign's Print Booklet feature one potential workaround would be to create a pdf with VipRiser VipRiser « Onflapp's Blog
    Acrobat probably won't have that printing issue. If it does you could potentially just drop the PDF into a hot folder (assuming you have a separate RIP on the Konica. Otherwise a less than elegant way to get around it for the time being would be to print from your windows VM.

  • Canon 4080i can't access booklet printing - Legal or Tabloid

    I used to be able to do booklet printing on both Legal and Tabloid size paper. Now I only get that for Letter sized paper. Did the drivers change to disallow that or am I missing something like maybe a setting on the printer itself? Color imageRunner 4080i with AH1 and W2 over the network. Any help would be appreciated. I see that if I do it through Parallels and windowze I see those options in the print dialog there.

    Having said that, what you are telling me is to specify the folded page size as the paper size and that won't work.
    Well it sort of works for me.
    With a multiple page document open in Preview, I can set the Paper Size to US Letter. I then change to the Finishing menu and select Booklet and Saddle Stitch. When I then print the job the machine errors, prompting me to load 11" x 17", which is obviously the size needed to fit two Letter size pages to a sheet to make the booklet.
    If I then created a Custom Paper size of 7" x 8.5" so that I could 'use' Legal for the booklet sheet, I did find that the Booklet selection was not available. This was the case for the UFR2 and PS3 driver. Interesting side note is that the iR C5185 using the imagePASS-H1 does support the printing of booklets using Legal paper (at least through the driver it appears to support it).
    So as you have found there does appear to be a limitation with the latest drivers to create a booklet using Legal paper. But booklet printing on 11x17 with Letter sized originals appears to be available with both the UFR2 and PS3 driver.

  • I have a HP Laserjet P2055dn booklet printing is not working anymore. Windows 7 64 bit

    I used to do booklet printing on my HP P2055dn; a feature that I loved!   Suddently thisfeature stopped and therefore  I updated the driver  but  now it is gone for good. 
    Under printer properties I used to have "General Printing", "dublex",  "Envelops", " Booklet" and "Defaults".but  now there is only "General" and "Duplex" the rest is gone.!!!!!.
    I am using Windows 7, 64 bit, Word 2010. Neither printer driver P2055dnUPS PC6 nor HP univerals PCL 6 works.
    Please note that  I still have  all the printer properties (above) on my laptop, Win7, 64 bit Word 2007 (old printer driver).
    I assume this has something to do with the compatability of Office 2010 AND the  Printer driver. I could easily test this by updating the printer driver on my laptop but I am afraid to lose this feature there too.  Any useful advice!!!!
    Update: I installed the old printer driver and  have all printer properties!!  There is a problem with HP updated relased in July 2011 !!
    Update: although the software shows the booklet prining and envelop option. Booklet prining is not working. So my quess is that the HP frimware update screwed everything up!!!  So what do do now?

    Hi,
    Please update the printer driver with correct version and compatible with Windows version.
    Then Open "Devices and Printers" and right click on "Printing Prefences"
    Create new Printing Shotcuts as below.
    Then go to the other tab Finishing and do exactly like the image.
    Apply and Save.
    Your Booklet printing and shotcuts is ready. now you can print.
    Please let me know if this is being useful for you.

  • Officejet 7000-E809a Booklet printing

    I am trying to print an 8 page A4 pdf document on A3 paper in booklet form. I have got it printing the pages in the correct order but there is a problem with the top margin of the document page which either gets clipped by about 5mm, or the whole page gets shrunk to about half its size and sits in the middle of the page looking silly.
    The other thing that happens is that sometimes it prints 4 pages on one side of the sheet instead of two, and it is not clear which setting causes this.
    It prints perfectly on my Design jet 90, so there must be some kind of problem with the printer margins, There are a confusing variety of options for printing with or without borders and fitting the page, can anyone help with what the settings ought to be?
    Is there any way of finding out what the printer margins are and if they are adjustable?
    Thanks.

  • Different page sizes in booklet printing

    Hi,
    I'm trying to create a booklet, printed on A4 paper in landscape, with two pages per sheet side, ie so when folded the booklet is A5 sized.
    Using the booklet printing feature of Acrobat this works great, providing all the pages are the same size.
    However I now need to add a couple of double-sized pages, eg for the centre pages and optionally for the outer cover. The nature of these pages is that they are in effect double sized single pages, ie they should fill a whole A4 sheet, not half, and I would prefer not to split in two.
    Is there something I need to do when I create the PDF file from the various source documents?
    Hope the above makes sense but hopefully the following will clarify:
    For 8 page booklet, I want to print:
    A4 sheet 1, side 1 -> page 8 & page 1
    A4 sheet 1, side 2 -> page 2 & page 7
    A4 sheet 2, side 1 -> page 6 & page 3
    A4 sheet 2, side 2 -> page 4 & page 5 (this is a double sized page)
    Many thanks,
    Clive

    Use the Preflight panel. Create a profile which turns on DOCUMENT > All Pages Must Use Same Size and Orientation.

  • Booklet Printing Duplex Imposition

    I have been Googling and searching the forums and I am not finding just what I need. Please help!
    I want to create a booklet in InDesign. I set up my document with left and right hand pages as 1/4 of a standard letter size. So my page measures 4.25" wide and 5.5" tall. The page count varies, but let's say it's about 40 pages in length.
    My goal is to print this on 4-up sheets with duplexing. I can then cut the paper, stack it and bind it.
    But I am getting stuck on the imposition. Here is what I tried:
    1) I output the page from InDesign as a PDF with single pages. I then opened it in Acrobat and tried to set up the print. But there is no imposition in Acrobat and, even though I have a duplex printer, it doesn't seem to understand two sided, multi-up prining. I have a cover and a first page that should get imposes back to back, but every opion in Acrobat puts them in sequential order (of varying types of maze paths for layout).
    I tried "Booklet Printing" under Page Scaling, but I could not find a way to get 4-up on a page.
    2) Tried booklet printing direct from InDesign. The main problem here is that their only 4-up option is for four consecutive pages laid out end to end. This is absolutely no help.
    3) Found the Dave Saunder script called "MakeBooklet.jsxbin", but I have no directions for it. I cannot see the code, so I assume this has been compiled. It is for CS3 and before running it, I need directions which I cannot find.
    I am very stuck. I am not sure where to go from here, but I absolutely do not have $500 for some imposition software that I will use just a few times in my lifespan. I have Distiller, but still need to generate the imposed EPS pages for that. Right now, I am thinking I will have to do this manually, and that is just going to be a nightmare.
    All suggestions are welcomed!!
    I have InDesign CS4, Acrobat 9 Pro and am on the Macintosh platform (iMac i7 with Mac OS 10.6.4)

    You'll have to do some of this semi manually, because 1, you don't want to spend any money on it, and 2, because you're doing something a bit unusual, by putting two pages on one, and printers and free scripts don't allow for it.
    So first of all run the makebooklet script on your original document, which we'll say is called filename, which will then save that file as something like filename_bklt_1. BTW you don't need any instructions for makebooklet because there are no options, at least on the version I have, just run it and see what happens!
    The make another Indesign document the size of your finished page and place the filename_bklt_1 document into it.  Use the MulitPageImporter script (free and very useful) to do this and do it twice, once with the page at the top of the page, the 2nd time with it at the bottom.  Save that file and you're done.
    Then when you make a change to your original filename document all you need to do is save that, and open the other two documents in order and update the links.  Fairly automatic really, especially when it's free.  FWIW Quite Imposing could do the whole thing in one easily saved step, but I totally agree, it's just not worth it for a few one off jobs.

Maybe you are looking for
