Change print driver settings on canon printer to select one or two sided printing

My Canon print driver prints double sided by default. I want to change to single sided, or be able to select single or double on a per document basis. How do I change my print driver settings?

Here is the solution I used.
The Print driver for Canon, UFRII will default to double sided printing.
Select a document, and select Print.
Open Presets and select Show Presets (this step may not be necessary)
Open Layout, then open Finishing. Change Prunt Style to One side or one page
Open Presets and Save Current Setting. At this point you can change the name of the preset (one page) and select if the chafe is for only the selected printer or all (Canon) printers.
This sure seemed harder than it should be.

HP Photosmart 2610 All-in-One, Manual Two-Sided Printing, HP e-mail support Ticket no: 8028153835

HP e-mail support, Ticket no: 8028153835
I purchased my HP Photosmart 2610 all-in-one printer in 2005. It was previously installed on a HP Laptop, Windows XP, and all the features worked.
It is now on a PC running Windows Vista Ultimate 32. When I tried installing the printer software CD, it wouldn't load because of the Vista OS. I then loaded the HP Photosmart 2600 series full feature printer driver (Vista OS compatible) from the following HP website link:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-47754-1&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&...
Now I cannot get the Printing Preferences to allow Manually Duplexing (two-sided) printing. This option was available on the original printer software.
I've tried the solutions on: HP Image Zone Help / Two-Sided Prints which indicate: Click the Finishing tab / In the Document options area / select the Print on both sides check box (this box is not available).
When I run the printer from the Control Panel as Administrator, the printer Properties / Device Settings show Manual Duplexing: Enabled. When I go to the printer Properties / Advanced / Printing Defaults, neither the Finishing / Print On Both Sides check box is available nor will the Printing Shortcuts tabs allow the Print On Both Sides option to appear (only shows Print On Both Sides: Off).
HP e-mail support told me to install this patch to correct the problem:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/genericSoftwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-69848-1&cc=us&lc=en&...
When I try installing the patch, it won't load because it wants the original CD software. So I'm back to my initial problem of trying to load the original printer software that won't load because the CD is for Windows XP OS. I am at an impasse between the Software CD that I have, and what is available on the HP website.
What is your solution?
This question was solved.

Also, if it were, do you download the driver?
The driver is supplied through Windows Update. Go to the Devices and Printers folder, Add a Printer, then select Windows Update. It will take a few minutes to update the list, then the Deskjet 6500 series will be a choice under HP (not Hewlett-Packard).

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.

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.

HP OfficeJet j6480, Duplex (Two-sided) printing, adobe, and "default"

I've been through many of the duplex printing posts, and can't find an answer that works.
The system:
A MacBook Pro running 10.5.6 with the latest HP printer drivers (1.1.1 as per
http://support.apple.com/downloads/HPPrinter_Driver_1_11 )
A HP OfficeJet j6480 connected over the wireless network (or via USB, it doesn't
seem to matter).
The problem:
1. Duplex printing from MS Word only works if I click the "Two-Sided Printing"
option in the print dialog +every time+ I print: saving the print setup
configuration doesn't retain the two-sided setting. But at least duplex
printing works in Word -- if somewhat awkwardly.
2. In all programs with a print dialog box, the "two-sided printing" choice
selector in the [Layout] panel is greyed out.
3. In Acrobat Reader and in Firefox, two sided printing just doesn't work
at all. No matter what the settings.
I've tried the hpijs drivers as well -- the 3.9.2 version did no good at all.
(From http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/MacOSX/hpijs#More_Info .)
HP support was a little less than useless -- not only did they not solve
the problem, they made me late for dinner. sigh.

Print Driver Settings Not Saving at Print Dialog [IDCS3, Vista]

Hi. On our only design machine that runs Vista, when the user tries to print something from InDesign CS3 and has to turn on duplexing in the printer driver setup, on clicking OK, those settings immediately go away, and thus the document will not print duplexed. It works fine on our XP machines.
A workaround is to set such printer driver settings via Vista's Control Panel, and this does work, however it's a bit cumbersome, since we print all kinds of documents.
Pertaining Specs:
- Adobe InDesign CS3 (5.0.3) for Windows
- Vista Home SP1 (I think)
- Konica-Minolta Bizhub C500
- EFI Fiery 2.01 Driver for Vista / PostScript / Image Controller 405
It's similar to this issue, but the specs differ:
Michael C Stone, "Indesign documents reset printer settings IDCS2 XPSP2" #, 14 Jun 2008 5:19 pm

It does say, "Double-sided: Yes," in Windows' printer properties for the Bizhub PS (and PCL) Fiery driver(s) -- in fact, this may have been from me turning it on for the PS driver in Windows Registry, as it was off for some reason, but seemed to make no real difference anyway -- but I think the duplexing option would have been grayed-out in the Fiery driver's dialog if not available as some various other options are -- the driver has the capability to poll the device for such options availability -- and I don't actually see anything duplexing-related on the Installable Options tab, but the Installed list is identical to one of our XP computers with no apparent issues with printing to the drivers from InDesign -- although at one point, if a Vista user printed an InDesign document and saved it (and thus the printer settings), XP users for some reason couldn't print the document without forcing a change in the print driver settings, but I believe this was due to using the same drivers but different TCP/IP port configurations per machine (Vista doesn't need the IP_ prefix as XP seems to).

I'm having trouble instaling a printer driver for my Canon MG5220. I downloaded the latest printer driver from the Canon website (10.67.1.0) and installed it on my Intel iMac. It said the installation was sucessful, but when I try to add a printer, no go.

CS6 cant save the printer driver settings

The problem is similar to this http://forums.adobe.com/message/4431235#4431235
Illustrator simply does not save any of the settings in the driver tabs (such as custom print sizes, paper tipe, source tray etc) unless I hit the Print button (e.g. I cant save those settings temporarily by pressing the Done button nor I can save a print presset for a later use), and that is a very very very annoying thing an it brings back some memories of the time I upgraded to CS and CS2 and the case then was even worse because it didnt save the printer driver settings even by printing and allways reverted to the default settings, and now I remember why I hate Adobe so much, because they never had a fix for that until CS3 came out.
That issue has been tested with XP 7 Vista both 32 and 64 (a lot of printer drivers) and it is not a single configuration problem, so please before asking some questions about the kind of the system and software etc do the following with your CS6 (or CS,CS2) and please tell me what happens. Choose File->Print and in the dialog choose whatever printer you have, press 'Setup...' button in the lower left corner, ignore the stupid prompt that some unknown Adobe genius tech invented, press Preferences button in the new Print window that pops up and in the printer driver UI window choose whatever setting you like that differs from the default setting, and then press Ok then Print and in the main Illustrator print dialog pres Done (but not Print if you are in CS6) button to close the dialog. Then open the Print dialog window again, navigate to the printer driver you just adjusted and please tell me what settings you have - those that you adjusted or the default settings. Thank you in advance!

Thank you for the responceq Johny_07, unfortunately it solves the problem only if I have to specify the size of the media, but I need to specify the source tray, paper type and so on, parameters that are not present in the dialog box, and those are not remembered by Illustrator also. Do you experience that problem, I have allways wondered why there is no info concerning that problem, is it happening only with my instalations or it is a general program bug.

When using printer Epson R1900 with Aperture 3 and if I mistakenly choose the wrong paper such as, epson's luster instead of glossy, does that change the exposure? Like make it too dark one or two stops!

Hi,
If you choose the incorrect settings for printing, yes - the print quality will be affected.
Different papers absorb the ink differently, so you can end up with prints that are too light, too dark, or have a colour cast if you make incorrect choices in your Aperture or printer settings.

How do I select two-sided printing now that I have Adobe Reader? I didn't know it would change my print function at all and am curious why it does. My HP printer always did this and on the old screen there was a check off box for two-sided printing. Thank you!

Hello Mickeyps
What's the Adobe Reader version at your end? I am using Reader 11.0.06 and I do see this option. See below.

How to STOP default two sided printing

I have a macbook air (2013) and a Canon 8350 all in one laser printer...it ALWAYS defaults to two sided printing and I NEVER want to print two sided as I print for business and have no use for it...I often forget to uncheck it and thus end up wasting paper and ink.
I have looked through all the settings and cannot figure out how to get it to NOT default to two sided printing. I know I can save the settings, however it doesn't default to that new profile, so I would have to select the profile every time to change it, which makes no sense as a solution (I still have to remember to do it EVERY TIME).
Anyone know of a way to stop this behavior?

You can change the default via CUPS, which is the core printing system of OS X.
Open Safari and enter the following URL
http://localhost:631
By default on 10.8, access to the CUPS page is blocked. To enable it, open Terminal and type "sudo cupsctl WebInterface=yes" (without the quotation marks). Enter the admin password when prompted and then refresh the Safari view.
With the CUPS web page open, select the Printers tab and then select the printer you want to modify. Then from the Administration drop menu, change to "Set Default Options".
This will show a new page with four menu headings (links); Options Installed, General, Banners and Policies. Select General.
Scroll down the list until you see the Print Style menu. Change it from 2 Sided to 1 Sided and then scroll down the page until you see the Set Default Options button.
Click on this button to save the change. You will then be prompted to authenitcate to CUPS.
Enter the account name and password that has been set as the admin for this Mac. And then press the Log In button. You will then see another page stating that the information change is completed.
You can now check that the change has been successful by selecting to print this page from Safari. With the correct printer selected, change to the relevant menu to ensure your modification has worked.

HP6840 two sided printing

The printer is attached to a router and shared by a number of machines. It used to print 2-sided from Tiger (but you had to remember to change a setting each time you printed). It always prints 2 sided from a PC. There is no 2-sided option under Leopard and HP's site has no drivers after 10.3.
Any ideas or is this yet another retrograde step caused by the upgrade?

Found the answer to my own question: For the Canon Copier/Printer, "Fiery" driver determines two-sided printing, among other things. When the print dialog box is open, tick the button that reads "layout" and this should be a drop down window that exposes "Fiery" and that selected will offer the option to print two-sided. See ScreenShot below:

OfficeJet Pro L7590 and two-sided printing

Anyone been able to implement 2 sided printing with this printer. Seems like HP driver is broken, even though print setup allows one to check two-sided printing.

This may help in regards to this two sided issue. I did have some orientation problems on landscape mode but was able to print two sided. After hours of working between HP and Apple etc. I in theory figured out something that proved to work. HP's web driver page warns of not trying to use 10.5 drivers and programs on Snow Leopard. My theory was that in the upgrade process to 10.6 could there be some problems in the process of changing out the drivers and programs, (some programs are even said not to work at all by HP in S.L.). So I did a complete uninstall of all HP printer programs, software and drivers and then reinstalled the printer fresh in Snow Leopard. Wonder of wonders now the two sided printing works properly and the needed adjustments are all back. In a few different places but they are there and they do work. So maybe the problem exists in the upgrade process? I did not have the problems at all in 10.5 but after the upgrade everything changed. Now that it is more like a fresh install in SL all seem to work. The only thing I have not done yet is use the scanner process which HP admits is very different but they do give instructions about it on the driver download page. Hope this helps someone else.

HP Deskjet 970cxi two sided printing

I've got an HP Deskjet 970cxi printer connected to a print server on my LAN.
I'm able to print to it from Leopard with no problems. Just works with the Leopard "HP Deskjet 970C - Gutenprint v5.1.3 drivers".
However, I can't figure out how to enable the duplex unit in the Leopard drivers.
When I goto the layout settings in the printer driver the "two sided" printing option is grey out.
How can I tell the drivers that I have a duplex unit to enable this option?
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Steve

I have the same printer connected to a D-Link DP-300U print server. I get full access to the printer's settings, including duplex and photo settings, by using the HPIJS driver, which is an open source driver put out by HP. You can find a link to the OS X version of the driver at:
http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/MacOSX/hpijs
Good luck.

Two-sided printing with HP Deskjet 960c

My printer used to print two-sided just fine. I had a jam and cleared it. Now the software doesn't offer me the two-sided option any more. I reloaded the drivers, made sure two-sided printed was enabled under my printer settings, but still no luck. Any suggestions?

Try enabling the duplexer in device settings as discussed here. If that does not solve the issue please indicate what operating system you have and what driver.
