Can MacBook with Leopard OS do two-sided printing on the Epson NX515?

I am looking to buy an all in one printer, and the Epson NX515 seems best in a number of respects, especially the fact that its ink cartridges come in separate colors, which leads to much less waste of ink. But there is one item in the Epson documentation that concerns me ... the fact that two-sided printing may not be supported by Mac. Does anyone know if the Mac Book A1181 with Leopard OS does or does not support two-sided printing?
Thank you.

Hi @Blazer5,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I see that you are wondering how to setup two-sided printing with your HP Envy 5532. I am happy to help!
To setup the duplex printing, I would recommend to go through this guide, Printing on Both Sides of the Paper (Duplex) for HP ENVY 5530 e-All-in-One and Deskjet Ink Advantage..., as it has instructions for both Windows and Mac. Also here are some guidelines for you to follow:
Understanding the following items can help you avoid possible problems when printing on both sides of the page.
Do not print on both sides of the following types of paper, or jams might occur:
Transparencies
Envelopes
Photo paper
Glossy paper
Paper lighter than 60 g/m2 (16 lb).
Paper heavier than 105 g/m2 (28 lb).
Several kinds of paper require a specific orientation when you print on both sides of a page. These include letterheads, preprinted paper, and paper with watermarks and pre-punched holes. The printer prints the first side of the paper first. Load the paper with top edge first and the print side down. 
Also, this post, Vista / Win 7 Duplex Printing Troubleshooting Guide, by @Bob_Headrick. Might have some answers for you as well.
In the print dialog box (after selecting File, and Print), you will see a box next to two-sided printing, that can be checked or un-checked, in order to toggle in-between the two functions.
To change the print quality, you will want to go through this guide, HP ENVY 5530 e-All-in-One series and HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 4510 e-All-in-One series - Print Docum....
For future reference, here is your printer's user guide.
Hope this helps!

  • How Can I Restart Two-Sided Printing On the Second Side?

    I printed a PDF document in two-sided mode.  I apparently waited too long after printing the first side because when I clicked on "Continue", nothing happened and the printer just said "Ready".  How can I restart this print job so that only the second side of each sheet is printed?

    Asssuming you are using Adobe reader you would go to "Print Range" and in the "subset" box select to only print the even (or odd, depending on which have already printed) pages .  You may or may not need to check the "reverse pages" box depending on which page is on top in the paper tray - if it is the first of second page then do not reverse pages.

  • Is there a way to do manual two sided printing on the Officejet 6500?

    I am unable find duplex printing for the 6500. Has this option been removed? Do i have to buy the auto duplexer to do this basic function?
    This question was solved.

    Hi - Unfortunately, it does not support manual duplexing.  I checked the User Guide and it does state that manual duplexing is not supported with the driver.  The only other thing I can think of to try, is if you're using the driver that came with the printer, check and see if there is a driver in the Windows OS (Control Panel, Printers, Add Printer) you're using and install it to see if it provides that option.
    Hope that helps.

  • Two sided printing using the duplex

    Officejet Pro 8610
    When using the duplex for double sided printing the top and bottom margins are not properly aligned.  However, when using the manual feed option there is accuracy which is the ca se when I print the same document (which I created using Office 2013) at my place of work.
    So, holding a document such as a letter or a report, with printed text on both sides up to the light shows that the top and bottom lines on page 1 are lower than those on page 2. This pattern repeats for documents several pages long and those created by other people. 
    I have check the feed and the rollers on the duplex  - all looks fine.

    Some printers (certainly some LaserJet devices) include features (accessible via front panel menus, or Embedded Web Server, or Toolbox equivalents) to adjust the registration of the image on each page.
    Some such devices allow different adjustments for each paper tray, and for differences between front and rear faces.
    I've no idea whether or not this might apply to your OfficeJet Pro 8610 printer. 

  • Two-sided printing with HP Officejet 6310

    When I go to layout the two-sided printing option is off. I'm not able to click on it and turn it on for some reason. How can I fix that?
    I have printed things double sided before with this printer. It's only with this computer that I haven't been able to.

    two sided printing isn't a feature belonging to Pages so there is no reason to describe it in Pages User Guide.
    If it's described somewhere, it's in the System's Help.

  • Problem with two sided printing

    I routinely did two sided printing with my C7280 All-In-One printer, using Vista.  But, now that I upgraded to Windows 7, I can no longer do so.  When I select two sided printing, a three picture window appears, which instructs me to turn over the odd numbered pages that are printed out first, following by printing of the even numbered pages on the reverse sides of the odd numbered ones.  When I use another computer that still has Vista, all works well; i.e., each page is pulled in again, and the second page is printed on the opposite side of the preceding page.  I have uploaded the new printer drivers for Windows 7, but still can't get it to automatically print two sided.  How can I correct this? 

    Go to the first post in the link I gave and read the details. In particular: 
    No option for two-sided printing. The selection for automatic two sided printing may be grayed out, or only manual duplexing is offered.  This typically occurs because the duplexer is not recognized as installed, or the driver may default to not installed.   To correct this in Vista do the following: go to Start, Control Panel, Printers, right-click on the printer, Run as Administrator, Properties, (continue), Device Settings, Installable Options, set the "Two Sided Duplex Unit" to installed, OK.  For Windows 7 the method is similar:  go to Start, Devices and Printers, right click on the printer, Printer properties, Device settings, Installable Options, set the "Two Sided Duplex Unit" to installed, OK.

  • Two sided printing on HP with Yosemite no longer available?

    Since updating my iMac to the latest Yosemite, (10.10.2) my HP all in one C6280 printer does not even offer the option of two sided printing.  Is there a way to get this feature back? The printer used to do two sided printing, and the option used to come up, but no longer seems to be there.  I read several posts which suggested renaming a preset, but in the preset dialog box, it indicates that this is no longer an option.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks

    If it's greyed out, it could mean that your device does not support duplex printing under OS X.  One thing you could try if you haven't already is remove the printer entirely then add it back in again.  The drivers that Apple supplies are the latest drivers for this device, there are no full-featured drivers available for this OS version.
    Also, verify that you are using the proper steps for manual duplex printing:
    http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-Officejet-6500A-e-All-in-One-Printer-seri es---E7/4083974/model/4083869/document/c…
    If that doesn't work, you could try this two-sided printing application from HP:
    http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software12/COL35975/mp-88750-2/HP_Two-sided_Printi ng.dmg
    If the above doesn't work, I think an email to HP support is in order.  I suspect that they dropped support for duplex printing for your device with the later OS versions.  When was the last time you had duplex support?  Was it automatic or manual (i.e. you had to flip pages and print again)?

  • Two sided printing problem

    When I use the two-sided print mode, the margins are slightly shifted and the document is smaller than when I print single-sided mode (whether it's text or graphics).  Is there a way to make sure the document prints the same way it does in single-sided mode?

    Sorry to hear about your troubles. Could you post a little more information about your setup? Here is a quick list that should allow us to troubleshoot the issue.
    What printer your using?
    What operating system your using?
    What application(s) you are printing from?
    Thanks!

  • Two-sided printing option greyed-out HP OfficeJet 7500a

    Hi,
    Could anyone help me? I just bought a HP OfficeJet 7500a (which does support duplex printing) and I am unable to do two-sided printing as the dropdown menu (located in layout in the print screen) is greyed-out.
    Do I require a driver or anything like that?
    By the way I am running Mountain Lion Developer Preview if that matters.
    Thanks in advance.

  • HP ColorLaserjet 2600n-Two-sided printing with Snow Leopard

    Hi,
    I have a question relating to double-sided printing. I have a HP Color LaserJet 2600n. Two-sided printing worked fine for me with Leopard. Since I updated to Snow Leopard (now I have version 10.6.4) the two-sided printing options in the printing dialogue are disabled (greyed out). I use the printerdriver 1.3.0.261 How to enable this option again? Software update does not have any new software for my printer.
    Thanks!

    I have this printer and the same problem. This printer does not have a hardware duplex unit, the duplex is entirely manual.
    In the old driver settings, you could check off the "Two sided" checkbox (beside the Collate checkbox), and the unit will basically print off the odd pages, then after that it will pause until you take the printed pages and put it back in the tray, then press the Go button to initiate the print for the other side.
    There is no settings (besides Tray 3) in Options and Supplies.

  • The print menu on my MacBook Air won't allow me to select two sided printing, how do I do this?

    Hi Community,
    I recently purchased a MacBook Air (my very first Mac) and I cannot access all of the printing options when I print.  I am able to print and the printer driver was downloaded, but my options are limited.  I cannot enable two sided printing, which is something I was able to do with my current printer via my old laptop.  I am in grad school and have a lot of journal articles to print and read that are 60-70 pages each.  I'd much rather print these two sided to save paper.  I have the latest version of OS X (version 10.8.5) and my printer is an HP Laser Jet P2035n. 
    Can anyone help me fix this issue so I don't have to use my old laptop to print?
    Thanks,
    Melissa

  • Two-sided printing with Epson Workforce 630

    I bought a new iMac a few months ago and got the Epson WorkForce 630 printer at the same time. However, I can't figure out how to do duplex (two-sided) printing. I've searched around, and it looks like this feature may not be supported for the Mac. Now, why would Apple sell a printer through their website that doesn't support Mac? This seems like a basic feature that all printers should have.
    Does anyone know a work-around? The "two-sided" selection is grayed out for me.
    Thanks!

    Thanks! Unfortunately, on the Epson site, it says, "
    Q:
    Is manual duplex (double-sided) printing supported in Mac OS X with my product?
    A:
    No. This feature is supported in Windows only."
    I really don't know why Apple would sell a printer through their stores that doesn't support all features in their OS. I might end up going back to my older printer.

  • Two sided printing with wordperfect HP Photosmart 6515

    Any ideas how to set up two sided printing with wordperfect documents using  HP Photosmart 6515

    Hello,
    You should be able to print on two sides using this method for your product:
    NOTE:You can print your document on both sides of the paper, instead of just one side. Click on the Advanced button on the Paper/Quality or Layout tab. From the Pages to Print drop-down menu select Print Odd Pages Only . Click OK to print. After the odd numbered pages of the document have been printed, remove the document from the output tray. Reload the paper in the input tray with the blank side facing up. Return to the Pages to Print drop-down menu and then select Print Even Pages Only . Click OK to print.

  • Two-sided printing with HP C7280 all-in-one?

    Howdy all!
    I just bought an HP Photosmart C7280 all-in-one. While ordinary printing works fine, I see no way to do two-sided printing with the current driver. (The accessory is already installed by default.)
    Has anyone managed to get this to work?
    Thanks!

    Hi Randy,
    Yes the upside down issue was fixed for me, but only when I manually downloaded and installed the latest HP print drivers from Apple support directly. Apparently the automatic update doesn't recognize the network printer, so it won't download the drivers. I can't remember the exact driver I downloaded and installed, but it was the latest that included the All In One 7200 series. This is the latest I could find, and I believe it was what I downloaded
