Cannot Enable Odd/Even Printing

Hi,
I am attempting to print double sided on my p1102w by first printing all the odd-numbered pages of my document, and then the even-numbered pages.
However, under OS X Yosemite (10.10.3), there is no way to edit the default printing presets. I can view all the presets and see their settings, but there is no way to edit the values.
There are buttons to Delete and Duplicate presets but these buttons are greyed out and inaccessible. Does anyone know how to enable the different presets? I realise the p1102w is a basic printer, but surely odd/even printing is a fairly basic requirement?
It seems a pity that HP do not provide their own Mac driver for Yosemite but rely on the included Apple driver, which surely must be much more limited.
Cheers, Steven

Hello Steven!
Great to see that you were able to locate the expended settings and complete the required task!!
To add, from the lowest menu (The one listed as Layout / the application name (e.g. Textedit) / Copies & Pages within MS Office appliations) you may select Manual Duplex for the printer, that will guide you to reload the other side easier.
If there is no dialog shown to reload a page simply load the printed side faced down into the input tray, then open and close the top cartridge access door to resume the manual duplex job.

Odd even printing won't work

I am unable to print either "odd only" or "even only" pages in all applications that I've tried, Pages and Textedit. Up until today this function worked fine.
It now prints all the pages odd or even within the range I've selected.
I have two printers and have the same problem with either one, so it's probably not the printer driver (?).
Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the reply. However, I am pretty sure Smart Web Printing (SWP) WAS compatible with IE9 until a recent upgrade to the browser. When I first set up my new desktop on Friday, the clips I had imported from my old desktop were visible. However, as I installed the inevitable upgrades issued since the PC's software was installed it became clear that SWP no longer worked. As far as I could see there was nothing in HP's directions for the "upgrade" to Smart Printing that said I had to uninstall any old versions. In addition, there was nothing in the upgrade to check the Bing Bar as I clearly had the wrong one installed and had to manually uninstall it and reinstall from Microsoft's website. Finally, having sone all this I eventually got Smart Printing to and, boy, what a disappointment it turned out to be! What happened to the ability to select clips and save them? All I can do now is drag a selection box around a webpage and highlight a rectangle, preview it and print it. Overall, VERY unimpressed with this "upgrade"; it's gone backwards! Also, HP's installation is poorly constructed and poorly documented.

Odd Even Printing with OS-X Tiger using free software

I have solved the problem of printing large documents so that they come out double-sided, using a standard printer.
First, download the free text-to-pdf app:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/automator/texttopdfconverterautomatoractio ns.html
When you run this app, you don't see much, but that's OK. The icon is on the bottom in the toolbar waiting to do its work.
Now, take the document you want to print double-sided (the app takes most docs, text, etc). If it's an HTML page, copy it, paste it in TextEdit and, if necessary, convert it to plain text.
Now drag the document over the Icon for "Text to PDF" in the tool bar and, Voila!, as they say, you now have a PDF copy of your original document. It will be in the same folder as the original. I use the desktop since it's convenient.
Now you can print the PDF document using Adobe reader which does have the option to print odd and even pages separately.
Print the odd pages, take out the stack and put them back into the printer feeder so that the backside of page 1 is next to print.
Now print the even pages, and if you have done everything right you have a perfect double-sided copy of your original document.
It's a lot easier to do than it seems by reading what I wrote, but once you do it, you see that it's actually quite trivial:
Run the text-pdf app
Drag your document over the icon in the tool bar
That's it.
If you need to get rid of pictures, images, etc., first copy the document into TextEdit, convert to plain text (maybe rtf will also work?) and then drag that doc over the icon.

You don't need to go to all that trouble. You can print odd or even pages from any document using the options available in any print window. Use the pop up menu "Copies & Pages" and look under "Paper Handling". You will see that you have a variety of choices on how to print your documents.
If the document is long enough to justify it, I will print the odd pages (reverse order depending on the printer). While those pages are printing, I will bring up the print window again. This time I will use the "Scheduler" menu item to place the job on Hold. Then I select to print the even number of pages. Click the Print button. The even numbered pages will be sent into the printer's queue. After the odd number of pages are done printing, I can reload the paper, highlight the job for the even numbered pages and tell it to Resume Printing. For longer jobs, I can be "done" with the document I want to print having sent both print jobs to the printer. I can do some other work while printing finishes.

Cannot enable option to print double sides

When given the printing options in Apple Pages before pressing "print," the option to print 2-sided is set as off and I cannot change the option to print 2-sides.
To be more exact, in Pages, I go to file-print-layout-and the two-sided option is grey and unclickable.
I had to manually print one side and print the other side seperately but I would rather do it all at once.

Hi,
Do you see the option to perform manual duplexing but not being prompted to reload the printed sheets or may you do't see any such option anymore?
If you found the option but the device attention light bliks without showing any prompt on your Mac, reload the printed sheets faced down, then open and close the top cartridge access door to resume the 2nd side printing.
Hope that may help,
Shlomi

Cannot enable web services to get printer onto ePrint

Got a new Photosmart 7520 and got it onto our wireless network alright. But I cannot enable on the printer the web services (always jumps to automatic software updates and fails to connect; and hence cannot enable ePrint or web services.
Also typing in the IP Address into my browser gives me only a blank page...
What to do and where? on the printer or Mac (OSX 10.9)?
Thanks for the help
Max

Hi Max4Print,
Thank you for the update.
Yes you should be able to ping the printer. That is the best way to check the communication. I have included wikiHow’s article on How to Ping an IP Address. It has a section on how to do this on a Mac. I’m wondering if you have a guest network and if the printer is connected to that. Typically when you can’t access the embedded web server it would indicate that one of the devices is showing connected when it isn’t.
If the ping fails, I would recommend rerunning the wireless setup wizard from the front panel. The instructions on how to do this can be found on page 48 of your User Guide in the section titled “To connect the product with the Wireless Setup Wizard”. Once you have run the wireless setup wizard chose the option to print the report.

Cannot enable cookies

Hi, Alison. OS X includes a whole lot of little components that one ordinarily never sees. Some are invisible, and some are just buried deep down in the folder hierarchy somewhere other than the Applications folder. Some of these are applications, though they have no user interfaces and you probably don't even suspect that they exist, never mind interact with them directly. If you do a search for all the applications on your hard drive, some or all of these will turn up, depending on what you use to search for them. And because they're part of the OS, heaven only knows what consequences will ensue if they're deleted.
I don't know exactly how AppZapper works, but I mistrust anything that, without my informed consent, deletes any file whose function(s) I don't know. I've always refused to use automated "cleanup" tools that substitute their developers' judgment for my own. And especially since adopting OS X with its hundreds of thousands of mysterious files, I've completely refrained from deleting — automatically or manually — anything from my drives that I'm not perfectly certain I can do without. I wouldn't dream of using AppZapper to do a wholesale cleanup, and even less would I dream of setting it loose on any application that lived outside the Applications folder. Nor would I delete any application from inside that folder that was installed as part and parcel of my OS (such as Disk Utility, Mail, Safari, Address Book, iCal, and a host of other small utility apps: Printer Setup Utility, Airport Utility, Image Capture, DVD Player, etc.).
Maybe I'm just needlessly suspicious. But considering how often in life things prove to be interconnected in unexpected ways, and how bewilderingly complex OS X is "under the hood", I suspect that your faith in AppZapper's good judgment about what was OK to delete may have been misplaced.

Printing only odd/even numbered pages does not work

I've got following problem: Printing only odd/even numbered pages does not work. Not in Preview, nor Adobe Reader. I Don't know why. i'm using a hp Color LaserJet 2550L. I just worked fine, but I cannot remember the time this failing first occured. I really hope the problem will be solved quick and easy.
Thanks so far
Bastian.

Mine does not work either. I have trashed prefs, rewrote permissions, ran Disk Utility from a separate HD, etc. and I cannot get this feature to work.
I got 45 odd pages to print last night and now it won't print odd or even pages. I am reduced to printing every backside page one at a time. If I would have known about this problem before I could have saved myself an hour and just printed them all on single sided sheets. I tried to save paper and now I'm screwed (timewise)......
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You,
Dave Buckley

i get a message when trying to sync..."requried disk cannot be found" even after enableing disk use

First make sure you are using the most up to date version of iTunes and have all the latest Windows updates/patches installed on your PC. From there, try again and if still no luck, make sure you are plugging your iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port.
Otherwise try these steps:
1. Run “c:\WINDOWS\system32\devmgmt.msc” (i.e. *Device Manager*), and leave it open for now for later use
2. Start up iTunes
3. Next, connect your iPod.
4. Go to your iPod Settings and select the “Enable disk use” option from under theSummary tab.
5. A dialog box will pop up reminding you that you’ll need to manually eject. Go ahead and hit OK
6. Hit Apply to save changes to the iPod
7. Quickly switch to the Device Manager window and right-click on any item within the window and select “Scan for hardware changes”
8. Finally, switch back to iTunes, and try re-syncing your iPod to see if it helped.
It might not also hurt to trash your iPod's Photo cache if it has one (i.e. you sync photos to the iPod). See this article for information on where to find this folder on your Windows XP machine.

Cannot enable web printing on my photosmart 310a

I have not been able to enable web printing from the day I took this printer out the box. When I touch the ePrint icon to enable it says cannot enable. It also says I am not connected, which I know I am because I have been able to ePrint from day one and it tells me in connection I am connected to my router. Can someone tell me how to enable web printing so I can get my email address from the sheet it prints out? Thank you.

Hello Grace-in-BC,
Welcome back to the HP Support Forums!
I would like to help out in anyway I can regarding the network issues with the 7525. The results of the network test that state all pass is referring to the connection to the network only, not the ability for the printer to access the Internet.
The typical cause of this Internet connection issue is the DNS. Which DNS info have you used?
I have found the best DNS's to use are the Level3 and Google, from this web site: Free and Public DNS Servers

Odd/Even pages with data from two tables

Hi Forum,
Can you please extend help/suggest with the following scenario:
I have two data tables and one table records needs to be printed on odd pages (Front page) and the other table records need to be printed on even pages (Back page). I need alternating front and back pages based on data records in the tables. Also second table will be having lesser records when compared with first table.
I'm able to get the alternating Odd/Even master pages. But the first table is being printed in both the odd/even pages first and then the second table is being printed in both the odd/even pages. How can I restrict the printing of the first table on odd page and second table on even page?
Thanks for your help/suggestions.

You can play with pagination tab in your LCD tab, but I have never learnt enough to be able to use it effectively.
If I were in your shoes, I would alter the DDIC structures in the backend so you will only display it in the form, without any suicidal actions through the pagination, scripting or similar stuff.
How: If you need to alter pages, you can do that in your backend, right?
Like you can have a structure page with attributes:
- up/ front: data for the front page
- down/back: data for the back page
and you will alter the data in the table with this structure as a line in your ABAP program and will use to form to display the trnaformated data only.
Well... I don´t tell it is clear/right/ proper solution and cannot tell if there are any obstacles which will not let you use this scenario in your case, but you could consider this as an option...

WRT54GS v.6 cannot enable security mode.

hey guys,
I've tried everything, even a firmware upgrade and I've been using IE and I cannot enable any security. anytime I try to select WPA or WEP or anything it refreshes automatically back to "disabled". I've tried multiple resets as well and am extremely confused....this is a new comp. but it seems odd for that to be a problem.
thanks and best,
Adam

After a firmware upgrade, you must reset the router to factory defaults, then setup the router again from scratch. If you have not done this since the last firmware upgrade, please do this now and see if it corrects your problem. If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it. You must setup the router from scratch.
See *** RESET TO FACTORY DEFAULTS *** below, for how to reset your router to factory defaults.
If the above does not fix your problem, then you probably have a communication problem between your computer and router. To fix this, do the following:
You do not need an Internet connection. The router's "web pages" are built into the router.
Use Internet Explorer, it usually works.
JavaScript must be enabled.
Use a computer that is wired to the router.
In the non-working computer, temporarily turn off your software firewall.
Point your browser to 192.168.1.1 , then login to your router. Your user name should be left blank. Your password is "admin" (with no quotes), unless you changed it.
If you are using Zone Alarm, right click on the ZA icon in the system tray (lower right corner of screen) and then click "Shutdown ZoneAlarm", and see if this fixes your problem. If this does not work, try the following with Zone Alarm: Open the ZAISS control center, go to Privacy, then temporarily turn off Ad Blocking and Cookie Control, and see if that fixes your problem.
Some Zone Alarm users have reported that adding 192.168.1.1 to their list of "trusted" addresses fixed the problem. This trick might also work with other firewalls.
If you are using Noton Internet Security with the Add-on Pack, be sure to turn off the Pop-up Blocker, and the Ad blocker. Some users have reported that they needed to uninstall the entire Norton Add-on Pack.
If you cannot get anything at 192.168.1.1 then perhaps this is not your router's address. Go to "Start" > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.
A black DOS box will appear. Type in "ipconfig" (with no quotes), then hit the Enter key. Look at the "Default Gateway". Is it 192.168.1.1 ? Point your browser to the "Default Gateway", then login to your router.
If the above fails, disconnect your modem from the router, and try again. If this corrects your problem, then most likely you have a "modem-router" rather than an ordinary modem. Report back with this problem, and also state the make and exact model number of your modem (not the router).
If all of the above fails, power down your entire system, unplug it from the wall, wait one minute, then power up and try again.
If all of the above tips fail, then reset the router to factory defaults: Power down the router and disconnect all wires from it. Wait one minute. Power up the router, allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes), then press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then release the button and allow the router to reset and reboot ( 2-3 minutes). Power down router. Wait one minute. Connect one computer, by wire, to a LAN port on the router. Boot up system. It should work.
If you still have trouble, then you need to download and install (or re-install) the latest firmware for your router. After the firmware upgrade, you must reset the router to factory defaults, then setup the router again from scratch. If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.
How to do a *** RESET TO FACTORY DEFAULTS ***
To reset your router to factory defaults, use the following procedure:
1) Power down all computers, the router, and the modem, and unplug them from the wall.
2) Disconnect all wires from the router.
3) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
4) Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then release it, then let the router reset and reboot (2-3 minutes).
5) Power down the router.
6) Connect one computer by wire to port 1 on the router (NOT to the internet port).
7) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
8) Power up the computer (if the computer has a wireless card, make sure it is off).
9) Try to ping the router. To do this, click the "Start" button > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. A black DOS box will appear. Enter the following: "ping 192.168.1.1" (no quotes), and hit the Enter key. You will see 3 or 4 lines that start either with "Reply from ... " or "Request timed out." If you see "Reply from ...", your computer has found your router.
10) Open your browser and point it to 192.168.1.1. This will take you to your router's login page. Leave the user name blank, and in the password field, enter "admin" (with no quotes). This will take you to your router setup page. Note the version number of your firmware (usually listed near upper right corner of screen). Exit your browser.
If you get this far without problems, try the setup disk (or setup the router manually, if you prefer), and see if you can get your router setup and working.
If you cannot get "Reply from ..." in step 9 above, your router is likely dead. Report back with this problem
If you get a reply in step 9, but cannot complete step 10, then either your router is dead or the firmware is corrupt. Report back with this problem.
If you need additional help, please state your ISP, the make and model of your modem, your router's firmware version, and the results of steps 9 and 10. Also, if you get any error messages, copy them exactly and report back.
Please let me know how things turn out for you.

Macbook won't let me enable double sided printing? (Samsung ML-191x252x series)

Hi,
i recently bought a macbook pro (currently running OS 10.8.4). I connected it to my 3 year old Samsung ML-1915 printer yesterday to print something and discovered i cannot enable the double sided printing option... I checked online how to do it from system preferences , only to discover that the option actually isn't available to me. I installed the driver online from Softpedia but i still can't switch on duplex printing when i go to system preferences. This really bugs me since i can't even select even/ uneven pages to print (to do it manually..).
Any ideas/hints how to fix this?
Kind greets,
Laurens

Hello,
so i updated to 10.8.5, then discovered there was an additional Samsung update in App store. I installed that one as well, but it still didn't show in system Preferences. Then i deleted the printer, added it again and it still didn't work... I contacted Samsung chat support, they helped me to get the latest driver, and hooked me up with Smart Panel. Smart panel seems useless though, as it doesn't really allow me to do anything special. It's just a small box that indicates the toner level. Nothing to add about software, or double sided printing. 'm kinda lost by now...

P1102w cannot enable "HP WEB SERVICES" for sprintConnection error" check

I have a new printer which works fine for wifi printing but I'd like to use web printing which I beleive is called eprint.
I printed the configuration page and my firmware is 20120814
I cannot see were my printers email address is.
I navigated to the printers url and clicked on the tab "hp web services" and clicked on the green button enable but I keep getting the following error message.
"connection error: check internet connection"
From the router I can see that both the laptop and printer are on the same network 192.168.0.??
Can you please advise I suspect I have a fault on the printer but cannot be certain what can I do, I have updated the software on my mac which is running mavericks 10.9.2 , I've even hit the update software and there is no further updates available whch should mean I have the latest software and firmware for the printer.
Please advise how I may overcome the error when there clearly is no network issue as I can get to the printer to print and go to its web pages without any issues at all?

Hi paz_egap,
Thank you for the thorough response, I appreciate it.
Since you have set a static ip with manual DNS servers and you are still cannot enabled the web services is the firmware up-to-date on the printer. Please follow the steps in Getting the Firmware and Product Updates. Once the firmware is current and the printer still has its manual ip address and manual DNS servers you should be okay to enabled the web services on the printer.
If you are still having an issue after completing the above please call HP’s Cloud Services at 1-855-785-2777 if you live in the USA/Canada region. If you live outside the USA/Canada region please click here to find the Technical Support number for your country/region.

Any reasons why the content of a fillable form cannot be viewed or printed?

I have created a 2-page form on Adobe Acrobat XPro. I emailed it to specific people and they filled it out, saved it and emailed it back. I am able to view what they typed in my monitor only, when I click on the field, but it will not print the content. Any reasons why the content of a fillable form cannot be viewed or printed?

That's what I asked the people I emailed the form to and someone just emailed me saying: "I'll check my adobe. It keeps asking me to update and I keep ignoring it so maybe it was my fault". So there is the answer I guess. I saved the document as an Extended PDF and selected Enable Additional Features. Is there anything else I should consider?
