Can't get Two-Sided checkbox to "stick"

For a while now I've been having a problem getting my printing presets to remember the two-sided checkbox. I select the preset (Named "Two Sided", then check the Two-Sided box. Then select SAVE under the presets dropdown, and the two-sided checkbox is immediately cleared. This is the behavior on an HP4550. On my HP2605 it seems to work OK. The driver is "HP Color Laserjet 4550 v3010.107" and the duplex Printing Accessory is checked. Any help would be appreciated.

I also have the problem that the "Two-sided" option will not get saved in the presets I make, this is quite frustrating. I expect it has something to do with either the HP printers update or recent system updates.

How can I get two-sided print on Canon Pixma IP3000 with Snow Leopard?

I've just upgraded to Snow Leopard and find that duplex printing is no longer available. How do I get it back?

You should have a menu item called Duplex Printing and Margin. This is part of the v10.26 driver that is provided via Software Update.
This was the same menu item that was available with the v4.8.3 driver that was included with OS X 10.5. If you were not using this menu previously with 10.5 then maybe you were using the iP3000 Gutenprint driver?

I can't get two "room" objects to "glue" together in a floor plan

I can 't get two rooms to "glue" together in Visio 2010.
I've tried several ways to drag the "room" objects and handles around the floor plan but not only do the rooms not glue to each other, they snap or glue to other things (like ruler divisions), making it almost impossible to get the room walls to
overlap cleanly.
I found a forum posting somewhere where the respondent only suggested verifying default settings and I matched mine up with those, but that thread went cold without a solution.
What settings are required, and what steps are required, to glue two "room" objects together in Visio 2010?
Wayne Erfling (aka Cornan The Iowan)

Thanks, George,
You began your message with a question, but I think you understand "why I would want rooms to snap together", thus your work-around.
Nonetheless, the "big answer" is that I want to set the
room dimensions for each room individually (we're using Visio to place our belongings within each room) and then snap the rooms together to "build the house".
I started out by creating several rooms with correct dimensions (which I then locked with Developer / Protection).
That's when I discovered that the rooms "wanted" to snap to ruler divisions and geometry instead of to each other.
It's pretty clear that the room design templates / stencils in Visio 2010 have limited functionality - the "convert to walls" feature, for example, generates some pretty horrendous artifacts.
The second most irksome problem is connector routing - I've spent an hour or two doing nothing more than removing excess connection points because connectors insist on routing around some shapes, generating bizarre, wandering paths that I can't seem to disable.
But still, Visio 2010 is better for this purpose than CorelDraw and far better than "SmartDraw", and I don't have any CAD software. I just doubt that Microsoft has made Visio 2013 any better - Microsoft
seems to flip between simple maintenance releases and "grand" rewrites, failing to embrace anything like "continuous improvement".
Finally, the ribbon, a "blonde" solution at best, is particularly horrible in Visio - much of my work on this drawing has required me to switch among ribbon tabs.
Sorry for the rant, George, but anything I can learn to help with these issues will make the remainder of the job better.

Can't get pop-up blocking to stick. I have the check the box again every time I open Firefox. Any suggestions?

I am unable to eliminate pop-ups. Firefox is opening every time with pop-up blocking disabled. I manually check the box and am good for that session, but blocking is disabled again when I open a new session. This is a new problem, as I have used Firefox for many years without pop-ups. It may be coincident with upgrading to Firefox 4. How can I get pop-up blocking to stick?!

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:

Can't get 2-sided Preset to save

I’m using this printer connected by USB to an iMac running OS 10.9.5, but this is not a new problem.
I want to print my bank statements using this configuration: double-sided and odd pages only. I can’t get this to save as a preset. It appears that when I attempt to Save Current Settings as Preset, neither the Destination Paper Size:U.S Letter Two-Sided margins nor the Two-sided option are saved. I’ve also tried using Long-edge binding and that won’t save either. The same problem occurs whether I print in a Safari window or if I save the document as a PDF and try to print from Preview.
I don't have any problem achieving the desired result for one document, but I'd rather not have to change the settings each time I want to print. Isn't that why we have Presets?
Is this a driver bug?
This question was solved.

Hello @TigerMO,
I would like to assist you today with resolving the Presets printing issue that you're experiencing when printing to your HP Photosmart 6520 e-All-in-One Printer from your Mac OS X 10.9 Operating System. Because your driver is failing to 'save' the Presets for future use I am going to run you through a series of software and driver troubleshooting steps below to resolve this issue.
Step 1: Reset the Print System:
To start, I am going to have you Reset the Print System on your Mac. Please click here for instructions on how to perform the Reset. When the website opens follow the steps under'Resetting the printing system in OS X Lion' as the steps are the same for Mac OS X 10.9. This Reset will remove every printer from your Mac. However, it does not uninstall the printers. Therefore, should you use other printers on this Mac, once the Reset is complete simply ensure that the printers are connected via a USB Cable or Network connected and (+) Add them back in. Do not add your HP Photosmart back in at this time.
Once the reset is complete, please proceed to the next step.
Step 2: Uninstall Drivers and Software:
Next, please click here for steps on how to properly uninstall your printer. Once the site opens select the dropdown for 'Mac OS X v10.6, OS X v10.7, OS X v10.8, and OS X v10.9' and follow the appropriate steps to complete the uninstall process.
Once the uninstall is complete, please continue on.
Step 3: Verify and Repair your Disk Permissions on the Mac:
Open Macintosh HD and go to Applications
Go to the Utilities Folder
Open the Disk Utility
Select the Hard Drive volume you are using (usually on the left)
Select Verify Disk Permissions
Once that process is done, select Repair Disk Permissions
Step 4: Check for Apple Updates:
Go to Apple
Select System Preferences
Select Software Update
Click Update Now
Install your available updates
Restart your computer
Step 5: Reinstall your Software and Drivers:
Lastly, please click here to download the driver package for your printer. Once the website opens select the Download button on the top left. Once the download is complete please follow the onscreen instructions to install your printer.
Once your printer is added in, please check the driver to ensure that the HP Photosmart driver is being used and not the Apple AirPrint driver.
1. Click the Apple menu, and then click System Preferences.
2. Click Print & Scan, and then check if the name of your printer displays in the Printers list.
3. Click the name of your printer, click the minus sign (), and then delete the printer.
4. Click the plus sign (), click Add Printer or Scanner, click the name of your printer,
5. Click the Use or Print Using box, and then select the name of your printer in the pop-up menu. Ensure that the Photosmart driver is selected.
6. Click Add to add the printer to the list.
Once the printer is successfully added in, please try to save the printing Presets again to verify if the settings stick this time.
Please respond to this post with the result of your troubleshooting. Good luck!

Hi,
Please follow the steps below in order to automatically print two-sided print jobs:
1. Verify the duplex-printing accessory has been installed properly. To verify this open the System Preferences and go to Print & Fax. 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.
2. On the File menu, select Print. The Print window appears.
NOTE: The Print window might be minimized. Click Show details to see all available settings.
Note: If you use Adobe Reader, click teh button to launc the system print dialog.
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.
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).
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.

Shlomi

How can I print two-sided with Mountain Lion and an Epson WF-2540?

I just purchased an Epson WF-2540 printer with two-sided printing capabilities. The manual includes easy to follow instructions on doing this with a PC. However, it doesn't seem to be present in OSX Mountain Lion (10.8.4). I have looked all over for the answer, but nothing helps with this specific problem. It seems like, before Mountain Lion, there was a simple check-box within system preferences>print and fax>options and supplies>drivers that said "duplexer." Now, that option is not present. I would love to be able to use this function on my new printer. Thanks for all of your help!

I have the answer ...
The Epson WF-2540 does not appear to be a two-sided printer!
Reference this article:
http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/jsp/Product.do?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&sku=C11CC36 201
The following is extracted from that article:
There is no reference anywhere in what I've shown or the rest of the article to two-sided printing.
Compare that to my Epson Workforce 645, which is a two sided printer. Here's what it says in the Epson writeup:
... and indeed my options under the Layout dropdown menu look a lot different from yours, and from there I can choose two sided (whether I've attached as AirPrint or not, by the way).

How can I get two hand drawn images to line up?

How can I get these two images to line up? I am stumped.....I have used auto-align, scale, etc.....but I get one side right then other side not aligned.

You are dealing here with a difference in image size between the top and bottom sections and perhaps a difference in verticality.
Consider the bottom units. The left side should shift right and the right side should shift left in order to align.
Your next move would be the adjust the size of one of the layers by using Edit > Transform > Scale. Hold down the Option key to maintain proportion.

How can I get a static checkbox to default to ticked?

I have a checkbox on a form that I want to default to TICKED. I then need to check the value of the checkbox before deciding upon whether or not to do some processing (not if the checkbox is UNTICKED).
I have tried with the following values:
Default Value Type: Static Text with Session State Substitutions
Named LOV: - Select Named LOV -
Display Null: No
List of values definition: STATIC :;Y
My checkbox is always defaulting to UNTICKED. How can I get it to default to TICKED?
This is only my second week with APEX, so excuse me if I'm missing the obvious.
Thanks

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.

Mac can't remember two sided printing?

I print a document using two sided printing. To do that in Layout I set Two-Sided: long edge binding. Then I print a second document using "Last Used Settings". It remembers the other settings, but forgets about two-sided and sets it back to "Off" each time. Is there a way to get it to remember my settings? I'm using an HP Color LaserJet CP2025dn printer. Thanks.

Have you tried running the Help > Repair Acrobat Installation command to see if it corrects the problem?

After enabling my firewall, I can't get the itunes permissions to stick

I recently turned on my firewall (Security & Privacy --> Firewall-->Advanced-->Automatically allow signed software to receive incoming connections). I made sure to add iTunes to the permissions box above it. Regardless, now every time that I run iTunes, it asks me "Do you want the application “iTunes.app” to accept incoming network connections?". I can't get the permissions (in the firewall) to stick.
I followed someone's suggestion that there maybe a problem with iTunes' code signing (so that the firewall will recognize it as such) so I ran "codesign -v /Applications/iTunes.app" in Terminal, and the response i got was: "/Applications/iTunes.app: a sealed resource is missing or invalid In architecture: i386"
This is the iTunes version that was preloaded on my MacBook Air, then updated (today) to 10.5.1.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Sounds like a Codesign issue. From terminal, type:
codesign -vvv /Applications/iTunes.app/
You should see:
/Applications/iTunes.app/: valid on disk
/Applications/iTunes.app/: satisfies its Designated Requirment
But if you see:
/Applications/iTunes.app/: a sealed resourse is missing or invalid
[lists reources]
You can either delete the offending resouces (risky) or try redownloading and reinstalling the latest iTunes.dmg from Apple. Try the reinstall first.
