Cannot print double-sided from Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.1.2

Cannot print double-sided from Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.1.2
Problem limited to Adobe Acrobat, MS Office 2008, Pages, Keynote.
Can print double-sided from Safari and Mac Mail
Using HP Color LaserJet 2605dtn. Have downloaded most recent driver from HP
Computer: Apple MacPro Tower, 6GB 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM, Quad-Core Intel Xeon, Processor speed = 3.2 GHz

Correct way to install new driver is go to Printer Utility and delete That printer from the list.
Then install the new driver.
Then go back to Printer Utility and add the new driver Back
Then go to systems preferences and to Print Fax (or Printer if no longer setup for fax) and set up for the the printer and set as default.
This way you shouldn't have to go into either print menu or Page setup menu and set for desired printer.
most hp printer in the pint menu you click copies and pages and mouse down to two sided pages you choose either book (facing pages) or Tablet (printed as you would a Tablet that's bound at the top.
you need to test a two page document to see which does correctly for you. Its best never to have the application set for two sided. in fact if you have set for two sided in both one counter acts the the other.
So set it only in the printer menu and no where else.
Also once you set up you can save printer profiles that you can go back to click on the Presets button mouse down to very bottom save with a anme you can remember even put the words two-sided in title then save. Then you can go to that preset and print your heart out.

I cannot print a PDF from Adobe Acrobat Pro or Adobe Reader with Mavericks!

I cannot print a PDF from Adobe Acrobat Pro or Adobe Reader. I tried on both MacBook Pros we have here, both now with Mavericks. Error message says "Opening printer connection failed. Unable to open printer connection . . . " This is after it says sending data, printing, shows the percentages etc., but then at the end I get the error message above. I can print a PDF (same one) from Preview, but not from Acrobat! What's going on? Never had this issue before Mavericks . . . Please help.

I cannot print pdf documents from Adobe Acrobat

When I open up a pdf document in Adobe Acrobat, I am unable to print it. If I try and use an HP Laserjet 1606 laser printer Acrobat crashes. When I use either an HP Office Jet 7000 wide format ink jetprinter or a Brother MFC 3360C multi function ink jet printer I either get an error message that says "This document cannot be printed" or Acrobat crashes.
I can print using the Preview program.
Any suggestions?

This function is related to the printer driver and the printer you use. If you do not give details, nobody can suggest a solution. Usually, the correct driver solves the issue.

How to print double sided from my Mac to my Canon MG6350

I have looked up everywhere on the internet and youtube of how to print double sided from my Mac Book Pro. I am using OSX 10.8.5.
All of the dicussions I have looked up before have told me to go to System Preferences>Print & Scan>Options & Supplies> Driver and then tick the little box that comes up and it will allow you to print double sided. I have tried doing this but THERE IS NO DRIVER TAB!!!
I was just wondering if there was a solution to this as I can print double sided from my other appliences, like the PC and iPad, it is just my Mac Book Pro that doesn't work.
It has become a big problem for me as I'm studying at college and I need to print things double sided quite regularly. I really need this to work.

The print dialog has several drop-down menus, one of which initially shows the name of the application you're printing from. If the printer supports duplex, you can choose
Duplex Printing & Margin
from that menu. You should then see a checkbox marked
Automatic Duplex Printing

Since I starting using my MacMini (2011 version) I have not been able to print double sided from my HP Photosmart plus - there is no option for this in the Printer dialog box as there was in the similar dialog box on my PC. How do I set up this option?

1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
How much free space on it now?

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.

Flipped even-numbered pages when printing double-sided from Preview

My HP 2015dn printer has the ability to print double-sided. Yet I'm finding that when printing from Preview, the even-numbered pages are flipped 180 degrees. I can see the rationale for this, but I'd like to disable it and have the orientation the same for both odd- and even-numbered pages. There is a setting in the print dialog to "automatically rotate each page," but that is not what I want.
Any ideas?

That fixed it. The pdfs were rotated so that they would appear in landscape orientation on my screen (they're originally photocopies of side-by-side book pages). Well, now I understand the difference between short-edge and long-edge binding! Thanks for your help.

Printing problem from Adobe Acrobat 8 and Reader 9

Hello together,
i've got a problem while printing from Adobe Acrobat Professional 8 and Acrobat Reader 9.
I've got the Error: /usr/libexec/cups/filter/pstoraster failed
It happens with my new Canon ip4700 and my brother laser printer.
I got the newest available Version of OSX and the Adobe Updates.
The PDF files are printed in the "OSX Preview", but not in the Adobe Software
Happy for any help or advice.
Best,
Lukasz

Acrobat 8 and Reader 9 are not compatible. The only versions of Reader and Acrobat designed to be compatible with each other in Windows is Reader and Acrobat X.

HP all-in-one C6180 with a duplexor fitted that printed double sided under Win XP but not Win 7 32bi

I have an HP all-in-one C6180 with a duplexor fitted.
I could print double sided under Wimdows XP but have now upgraded to Windows 7 32-bit.
I have installed the latest drivers for the C6180 from the HP site.
I cannot print double
sided because in Printer Properties > Device Settings > Installable Options the "Duplex unit for 2-sided printing" option is not available for Install.
Can you please provide a patch or the latest driver with the Install option enabled please.
Regards,
John Seager
{Personal Information Removed}

You may need to enable the duplexer while logged in as a user with administrative privledges. Alternately go to the Devices and Printers folder, right clisk on the C6180, Printer Properties, Security, and click the settings to allow "Manage this printer" for the user.

How to print double sided on Canon MG5400 series?

I have tried to tick the duplex option under the printer driver tab but this only prevents the document from being printed! I am trying to print double sided from my mac mini... I am currently using a printer cable as I have no network available; when I printed using my ipad and the wifi facility, double sided printing wasn't an issue...

My first thought would be it isn't do to whether you are using cable or wifi to connect. ... Could be on though.
Have you looked on the internet site & seen if there is a more recent driver? wag.

Can't print double-sided on my HP printer (laserjet CP2025)

I have owned an HP laptop and printer (color laserjet CP 2025) for about one year. When I purchased the printer it said that the printer was not compatible with Windows 7 - I did not know this before i purchased the printer. I had to reset my computer recently and now do not have the ability to print double-sided. The printer works but I cannot print double-sided unless I manually insert the pages. I had the ability to print double-sided before I reset the computer. HELP! this is the most frustrating experience and I am hesitant to purchase another HP product because OF THIS BAD EXPERIENCE. When under warranty I was able to contact HP and received information on how to get the printer to be fully functional, I can't do that now. Does anyone know how to get this function working? Please help.
This question was solved.

asp29,
For the cp2025, if you have the duplex model (has d in the model name) then this document will help you re-set the printer when using the Unversial Print Driver. Make sure you read the document all the way through and pay sepecial attention to the notes as they explain the process in relation to this product. Please check it out...

Can't print double sided in Windows 7 & Officejet J6450

I am running windows 7 Home Premium
I am using Microsoft word 2010
I have an Officejet J6450 All-in-One
When I try to print double sided from within word, It prints the last page of the document, retrieves the paper, turns it over, spits it out and quits.
This is regardless of the number of pages in the document.
It is set to print all pages.
Any ideas?

As best I can tell, this printer does not have automatic duplex printing available. You need to print the even pages, turn them upside down and reinsert them and print the odd pages, using Paper Handling in the Print dialog. You may need to print in reverse order when printing the even pages, as I recall. It has been a while since I had a printer without automatic duplexing. It is a feature which I insist upon.

Trouble printing double-sided in Acrobat X Pro for Mac

I just tried printing for the first time today, and my pages come out single-sided rather than double-sided, though I am using the same settings as before in v. 9. Nothing I do seems to matter. using a Xerox machine (office capacity; don't have the specs handy; a Work-Centre Pro something though). Is anyone experiencing this problem? If so, are there any solutions?
Many thanks,
Jim P

Dear Mamak,
Many thanks for the note.
I followed your advice and dowloaded new drivers for my Canon MF4880dw.
The filename was different than yours, because the model was different.
However, I noticed that this last version I downloaded is pretty new (released in April), so I was hoping it would fix the problem. Also, it was the same file for all versions of Mac OS X from 10.5 through 10.8.
Unfortunately, no luck: Acrobat still does not ask me to scan the reverse side. Maybe I should have uninstalled the printer before reinstalling it?
I more or less solved the problem by scanning double-sided documents on Acrobat 7 for Windows (which I also have installed on my Mac), which is not optimal, but at least works.
Any thoughts?
Thank you again,
Salvatore

I need a tutorial on printing double sided business cards through adobe illustrator

does anyone have any suggestions on where to find a tutorial on printing double sided business cards through adobe illustrator?

First of all double sided printing set-up from Illustrator is something that is very specific to the printer you are using, so you'd need to refer to your printer's user documentation to review the correct settings. Having said that the steps you take are very similar for all printers.
Here are some steps that might be of help:
The easiest way to this is probably to place the front and back of the business cards on two separate artboards, for example Artboard 1 for the front of the cards and Artboard 2 for the back of the cards. Use the Artboards panel (Window > Artobards) add a second artboard of you've not yet got front and back on separate sheets.
In the File > Print dialog box, in the General section ensure that 'All' Artboards are selected or define the Artboards Range to print if you have more than two artboards in your Illustrator file.
You might also want to enable Trim Marks (Marks and Bleed section) so you can easily trim the cards after printing.
You can access your printer specific settings, such as duplex or double sided printing by clicking 'Setup...' at the bottom of the Print dialog box in Illustrator.
Mostly you'll find an option you can enable called 'Double Sided' or 'Two Sided'.
There will also be a second option for either Long Edge or Short Edge binding. For a portrait artboard you'd select Long-edge, for a landscape artboard you'd select Short Edge.
Once you've set the Setup specific to your printer click OK and you'll return to the Illustrator Print dialog box, from where you can now print.
You might need to tweak the position of your 'back' a little if your printer doesn't print perfectly registered.
