Cannot turn off double sided printing on HP 8600 OSX v 10.8.4

Hello! I cannot figure out how to turn off double sided printing. I do not see an option in the system print dialogue or on the printing settings itself. When I remove the double sided attachment from the back of the printer - it won't feed the paper properly. Help!

Hi,
Please follow the steps below in order to disable two-sided printing:
On the File menu, select Print. The Print window appears.
NOTE: The Print window might be minimized. Click the blue triangle next to the printer name to see all available settings.
In the expanded Print window you will find next to Copies the checkbox for Two-Sided. Uncheck that box.
NOTE: If the checkbox does not appear within the specific application print dialog, skip this step.
Click the lowest selection box, listed as the name of the program (e.g. TextEdit)
Will appear as Copies & Pages within Microsoft Office applications.
Select Layout from the drop-down menu.
Set the Two-Sided option as Off.
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.

  • Turning Off Double Sided Copies

    I need help turning off double sided copies (copy function not the printing function).  On the printer itself, I go into copy settings and find that "Two0Sided" copies is checked off.  I can't uncheck it to return it to single sided copies.  Help!

    There should be an arrow, to get more choices to show. Also the checkbox is just showing you the current selected, you change the setting by touch the big icon, not the checkbox. The touch panel is not a high resolution one, so try to touch the checkbox, result in the icon being selected, that's why the setting didn't change. Try find the 1:1 icon and touch that.

  • How do I create a custom preset in my print window? I want to permanently turn off 2-sided printing under the Fiery Features?

    At my office I work on a mac, I print to a Canon C5240, my print dirver is current (Canon iR-ADV C5200s-B2 psv1.ous). We just got this new computer at our office and it defaults to 2-sided printing.
    The cannon people said we need change our printer setting on our sever to single sided printing, our IT guy says we have. However, we still continue to get all prints 2-sided.
    The only way we've been able to get around this is when we are in the print dialog: manually changing the page setting > Fiery Features > and turning off 2-sided printing-- every time. It's so frustrating.
    Is there a way to save this preset rather then have it always revert back to the default print settings?
    PLEASE HELP!

    Hello,
    Click on the Presets dropdown item, choose save as Default, Save As, or Maybe just Save depending on OS version.

  • Can't turn off 2 sided printing on HP7520

    I have seen a number of recommended solutions as to how to turn off 2 sided printing on the HP 7520 printing on the HP site.   None of them work for Mac OS X 10.9.5  and/or  MS Word for Mac 2011 version 14.4.5 .
     I am really concerned that HP has not provided an easy way to perform this function (.e.g. on the print options drop down list allow a user to click on  a     " TURN OFF TWO SIDED PRINTING " option.   Acutally concerned is an understatement -- it is totally unacceptable for a company that has specialized in providing printers for decades to have so poorly designed a product and it's software.
    Having said that does a solution exist for this design defect ???

    Hi,
    Follow the steps below in order to disable two-sided printing:
    From the application used to print, click the File menu and select Print. The Print window appears.
    NOTE: The Print window might be minimized. Click the Show Details button to see all available settings.
    At this point I would suggest clicking the Presets menu within the print dialog and save the current settings as a preset (e.g. 7520 Duplex)
    Click the lowest selection box listed as the name of the program (e.g. TextEdit)
    Will appear as Copies & Pages within Microsoft Office applications.
    Select Layout from the drop-down menu.
    Set the Two-Sided option as Off.
    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 and these can be used to easily swith between standard and two-sided printing.

  • Can't Turn off 2-sided printing photosmart 7510

    The printer insists on printing 2-sided, and I can't figure out how to turn it off in Mac OS X 10.10. It seems to happen mostly in Word, but that may only be because I usually only print from Word.

    Hello @FritzMills!
    Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!
    I would be happy to provide some assistance with the 2-sided printing issue.  Have you had a chance to try printing from any other Applications on your Mac to see if you get the same issue?
    The first thing I suggest is to reset the printing system and re-add the printer.  This will reset print settings back to default and 2 sided printing should be turned off.
    To reset printing system:
    Click the apple icon at the top left corner
    Click System Preferences
    Click Print and Scan
    In the Print and Scan menu hold down the "control" key and click with the mouse in the white space bellow the printer
    Click the reset printing system dropdown button that appears
    You should get a color wheel and the printer should disappear
    To re-add the printer
    In the same Print and Scan menu click the plus (+) sign below the printer list
    Click "add other printer or scanner" even if you see your printer in the dropdown
    You should get the add printer window
    Select your printer in the list.  If the printer is wireless it will say Bonjour beside the name of the printer
    Click the dropdown  called "Use" or "print using" and select "HP Photosmart 7510 series"
    Click add at the bottom right
    printer should be added back to the Print and Scan menu
    Try printing again!
    Please post back and let me know how it goes!  Thanks again for posting on the HP Forums!

  • How can I permanently disable double sided printing in Acrobat Reader 11.0.09?

    It is annoying to have to manually turn off double sided printing every time I print a *.pdf.  Is this fixable?

    Hi prtlaw,
    Are you still look for answer?
    These option are available with printer drivers. So, this is something you need to check from printer http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows/choosing-print-options#1TC=windows-7
    Or change the properties of every document:

  • 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...

  • Printing JTable after turning off double buffering causing repaint problems

    I've followed all the instructions to speed up a print job in java by turning off double buffering temporarily by using the following call before calling paint() on the component...
    RepaintManager.currentManager(printTable).setDoubleBufferingEnabled(false);
    ... and then turning it back on afterwards...
    RepaintManager.currentManager(printTable).setDoubleBufferingEnabled(true);
    but the problem is that if it is a long print job, then the rest of the application (including other JTables) isn't repainting properly at all. I have the printing going on in a separate thread since I don't think it's acceptable UI practices to force the user to wait until a print job finishes before they can proceed with using their application. I've tried controlling the double buffering at the JPanel level as well, but it always affects the entire application until the print spooling is complete.
    Does anyone have any suggestions to solve this annoying SWING printing problem?
    Thanks,
    - Tony

    When you post code, make sure and put it between code
    tags, so it looks good:
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    System.out.println("Doesn't this look great?");
        public int print(Graphics g, PageFormat pf, int pageIndex) {
            System.out.println( "Calling print(g,pf,pageIndex) method" );
            int response = NO_SUCH_PAGE;
            Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
    // for faster printing, turn off double buffering
            disableDoubleBuffering(componentToBePrinted);
            Dimension d = componentToBePrinted.getSize(); //get size of document
            double panelWidth = d.width; //width in pixels
            double panelHeight = d.height; //height in pixels
            double pageHeight = pf.getImageableHeight(); //height of printer page
            double pageWidth = pf.getImageableWidth(); //width of printer page
            double scale = pageWidth / panelWidth;
            int totalNumPages = (int) Math.ceil(scale * panelHeight / pageHeight);
    // make sure not print empty pages
            if (pageIndex >= totalNumPages) {
                response = NO_SUCH_PAGE;
            } else {
    // shift Graphic to line up with beginning of print-imageable region
                g2.translate(pf.getImageableX(), pf.getImageableY());
    // shift Graphic to line up with beginning of next page to print
                g2.translate(0f, -pageIndex * pageHeight);
    // scale the page so the width fits...
                g2.scale(scale, scale);
                componentToBePrinted.paint(g2); //repaint the page for printing
                enableDoubleBuffering(componentToBePrinted);
                response = Printable.PAGE_EXISTS;
            return response;
        }

  • Turn off two sided, duplex, printing on ipad

    When i print emails from my Ipad to my HP 6500A Plus it always prints two sided. How do I turn this off?

    Hi,
    Are you using AirPrint (the iPad's inbuilt print application) or HP's e-print?
    If you're using e-Print, select the options below to turn two sided off.
    After selecting your printer, select the settings option on the top right.
    Then select more options.
    Finally, you should see an option to turn on or off two sided printing.

  • Double sided printing on HP officejet 7410 and windows 8.1

    I recently had to upgrade to a new computer with Windows 8.1 and after downloading the driver for my old HP Officejet 7410 All in One WITH the double sided printing attachment, I cannot get it to print on both sides automatically, as in the printer setup there is only "print one page" or manually print double sided.  I continue to get the manual print instructions to turn the pages over.  I have downloaded the driver twice and cannot find an option for the double sided driver.  The printer still prints double sided automatically with the other old computer i have.
       Help ~ wanting to print double sided!

    I have the same problem.  I have the HP Officejet 7410 that supports automatic double sided printing.  I recently upgraded to Windows 8.1.  I installed the most recent software and drivers from the HP support site.  But automatic double sided printing is no longer an option.  What's up with that HP?  How about a fix?

  • HP Photosmart D7160 printer could it be fitted with a double sided print unit?

    I only need to know if my HP Photosmart D7160 printer was made with the provision of or could it be fitted with a double sided print unit.?  If I had got the answer I would have purchased the required part.
    i have been searching the HP web site on and off for the last four years for the answer to this question only to find myself going round in circles without ever getting any practical answer.  If and when HP have the courage to answer the question
    and the answer is what I think it will be I will take the printer back whence it came from and demand a refund in full!
    I have just tried a spell check and the website doesn't recognised the name/number of HP manufactured equipment that is clearly printed on the front cover and when I instal HP print cartriges HP tell me I have been a good boy.

    Page 9 of the user manual indicates there is an optional accessory for double side printing.  The data sheet here indicates that (in the US) the part number is:
    HP ph5582 Two-sided Printing Accessory
    Q5582A

  • How do I use the double sided printing with my HP Officejet 6500A plus

    I need help with learning to use the double sided printing with my HP Officejet 6500A Plus

    Click on the Show Details button just above:
    You can configure various options from the dropdown menu just below Orientation.
    Printing two-sided requires a two-sided adaptor for the printer. Otherwise, you have to print out odd numbered pages first, turn them over and reinsert into the paper feeder, then print even numbered pages. If you do it right you get a nice two-sided document. If you do it wrong all the even numbered pages will be upside down.

  • How do I print double sided on my mac? (OSX)?

    I used to have a windows PC with office 07 on it, and i still have the same canon ip1800. This is NOT a double side supported printer, but in office, it gave me the option to print half the document, and then turning the pages that my printer printed (without changing the order that the printer made) upside-down and printing on them again. This way i got double sided printing, but i want to know how to do this is Pages, Adobe acrobat pro or Preview in leopard. Thanks!
    (PS, i'm printing multiple pages, now just one, so i cant just take flip it, and print page 2, etc. That will be very very painful!)

    When you choose to print, choose 'Paper Handling' from the printer options menu.
    Here are options for printing 'all pages', 'odd pages' or 'even pages', which should do what you want.

  • Double sided printing to Canon C2620

    Hi, I have a problem with a couple of documents I am trying to print double sided from Indd. I have chosen double sided printing in the canon settings but it doesn't work. When I check the settings again, it has gone back to double sided 'off'. Is this Indd or the printer? I have tried making sure my master is double sided as it was a single sided document to start. I have also tried a save as which does not work.
    Any help greatly appreciated.
    Thanks very much.

  • When using AirPrint is it possible to select double sided printing

    I am trying to use AirPrint to print from the Pages app on iPad Air running IOS 8.1.1. Is it possible to select any of the printer options, such as double-sided printing, when doing this?
    Many thanks

    Once you start to print using AirPrint, a display appears where you select the printer and options. Presumably the HP is your only AirPrint printer (as the Epson is mine). On that same screen, I can select the number of copies, and I also see an on/off slider for "Double Sided".
