CS4 Double-Sided Pamphlet

I'm rather new to the InDesign printing process. I have a 65 page pamphlet, each page 5 inches by 5 inches- thus, an entire spread can fit on a 8.5x11. I want to print double-sided and I want to stack the papers and stitch down the middle. What options should I choose to print? I don't understand the printing presets at all.

What you are looking for is called Print Booklet, and it's under the File menu.
That said, 65 pages is a bit of a problem. Folded and stitched books need to be constructed in multiples of 4 -- two pages on each side of each printed sheet. Some of those pages can be blank (and you need to set up the print dialog for Print Booklet to include blank pages). In the case of a 65-page document you have 3 choices: lose a page, add three, either blank or with additional content in positions of your choice, or let ID add three blank pages at the end automatically, whcih will probably not give you the booklet you expect if you intended a back cover.

Crop marks out of alignment on double sided pdf

I have an Indesign CS4 two page document I have saved as a press pdf with crops. The client has just told me the double sided proof has come back with the crop marks out of alignment (offset vertically). Isn't this something the printrer can easily sort, or should I be setting it up differently in Indesign??
Cheers

You should set it up as facing pages if it is double sided.
I don't see a reason to do that for a two-page document. It makes it harder to scroll between the pages since thay are not vertically aligned on the pasteboard and it should have no effect on things like crops.
And yes, screen shots of the page in ID and the PDF would help a lot....

Print spread double-sided

Hello,
i have a nagging question that's been bugging me since i ever started using indesign CS4:
how do i print double-sided spreads in a single-side printer?
the print shops i work for(and myself of course) want me to print a makeshift of a book which i do using the print booklet option on 2-up spread, but they're consecutive and i haven't found any option to alternate spreads for single side printing. It'll all be ok if i had a double-sided printer so i'd use a driver setting and force doubleside on the printer itself, but without that option....
is this possible or wasn't even considered?, because the other solution is to print spread by spread and manually feeding each page back which is totally unproductive....

Like my answer of yesterday you can use the 2-up Consecutive feature of Print Booklet and enter you page numbers/order manually.

HP Laserjet P2035n is set to print double-sided, but I can't change it in the preferences

Last week i downloaded and printed a PDF file. Since then, my HP Laserjet 2035n is set to print double-sided. Here are the details.
I'm running an HP Pavilion Laptop with Windows 7 Home.
The printer is set up as a network printer.
When I try to print something, it stops after one page waiting for me to re-feed the paper manually to print on the other side.
It's only this laptop that's messed up. My other computer prints fine
When I go to Printers, right click on the 2035n, and select "Printer Properties" and look at the bottom of the General tab, it reads under Features "Double Sided: Yes"
If I then click 'Preferences..." and go to the Finishing tab, under Document Options, the box "Print On Both Sides (Manually)" box is unchecked.
Here's what I've tried:
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the printer
I reinstalled the printer drivers
I have tried reinstalling under a different name
Any suggestions? Can someone tell me where the printer preferences file is so I can manually delete it then reinstall the printer drivers? Is there a tool for the P2035N to uninstal EVERYTHING related to it?
Thanks.
This question was solved.

Hi,
Please try the following settings:
Right click the printer icon, then click Printer Properties.
Click the Device Settings tab.
At the very bottom, uncheck the Allow Manual Duplexing option.
Now try printing and check for any change.

How do I enable double sided printing on my iPad through the HP ePrint app?

HP Laser jet 1102w
I have Windows 7 64 bit and a original iPad.
I would like to save paper when I am printing from my iPad. Is there a setting to enable double-sided printing when printing from an iPad using the HP ePrint app?

Hi,
Printing a manual duplex printing is not supported by the HP ePrint app or AirPrint as well, it can only be done with printers who provide automatic two-sided printing.

Hp Color Laserjet pro M177fw won't print double sided anymore

Hello. I have a Hp Color Laserjet pro M177fw until about three weeks ago it would print double sided no problems. I have used this printer on my pc and now my mac with no problems previously. I am running a Macbook Pro (less then six months old) which is running 10.10.1 (Yosemite). I attend college and I know at the end of last quarter during finals week (Dec. 15th) I still had the ability to do 2 sided printing. Sometime between then and the new quarter starting last monday I lost the ability to do 2 sided printing. After scouring the internet I have tried everything they suggest:
Uninstalling printer and reinstalling
resetting the printer setting on the mac and then reinstalling printer
resetting the printer settings on mac, rebooting and then reinstalling printer
installing older drivers( hp automatically installs newest drivers even if you use an older driver file)
resetting physical printer to factory default and reconnecting to wireless network.
repairing the disk permissions
The only new software I have installed on the computer in the last three weeks is Adobe Creative Cloud and the printing problem preexisted that installation.

Hi @Arboria9 ,
I see that you are experiencing issues printing two-sided from Yosemite. I would like to help you resolve this issue.
You have pretty much have done all the steps that I would have provided.
Are you still able to print two-sided from the Windows computer?
Are you missing the option to select two-sided printing in the print driver?
Check the driver name that is installed for the printer. Make sure it shows just the printer's name.
Click the Apple menu and then click System Preferences. Click Printers & Scanners, highlight the printer name on the left side and on the right side of the screen it should show the printer's name. (Officejet 6500)
If the full printer name isn't listed correctly, delete it and add the printer name back in from the list. Click the - sign to delete the driver and then click the + sign to add the driver, might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name to add it in.
How was the printer name listed?
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a great day!
Thank You.

HP Officejet Pro 7680 and double-sided printing

I just got this yesterday, but I cannot get this to print double-sided in my Macbook Pro (10.5.1). I checked the feature in the printing preference (system preference), but the double-sided option in the print dialog is always grayed out on all applications.
My previous HP 7310 didn't have any problem printing double-sided.
Also I get the error message related to hpsuppliestool program every time I try to print. I keep pressing ignore to get rid of the dialog but it's annoying.
Any one with similar experiences or solutions?

I'm updating this so that others can benefit from my experience.
I got everything working now-duplexing, scanning, etc.
I found the beta scanning software on the forum, and installed it. It works. I can scan multiple pages using the ADF w/o any problem.
I found the beta printing software for HP OfficeJet Pro 7300 in the forum and installed it according to its instructions. Now duplexing is back.
I found the HPsuppliesTools.app in my Library/printer folder and deleted it. No more error messages.
So, now everything is working 100%!
Thanks for HP folks to post things on this forum!

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 in AirPrint

Hi All,
I just purchased the NP LaserJet Pro CP 1525nw which is fully compatible with AirPrint. Printing works great. However, When I print to the HP and look at the Print Center it always says "Double-Sided Off". I tried tapping on it without success. Double Sided printing works fine from Windows.
Is there a way to enable double sided printing on the iPad 2?
Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Alas, that page is no longer active.
We have a Canon inkjet that does automatic duplex printing, but no duplex option shows up-- either under iOS 5.1.1 on an iPad or 6.1.2 on an iPad mini.
Of course, it's not AirPrint certified, although it does work with the Mac add-ons Handy Print, etc.-- and it does show page numbers for certain sites and PDFs.
Glad to hear that duplex printing would be an option if we upgrade printers.
Have they added Print Preview yet? That's a biggie as we often end printing gobs of pages from a web site and only want part of the page.

How to print double sided in Win 8.1 similar to Win XP?

Recently purchased Win 8.1 PC. Installed my printer, a HP psc 1210. All appears to work except unable to select "print both sides" as I was able to do on my old Win XP PC. Noticed print properties in XP that Double Sided is marked 'Yes' while in Win 8.1 it is marked 'No'.

Thanks Rashmi for your reply. Is there any other way to do so? Actually I am trying to automate the actions of an app where launching and subsequent exiting of an app is a test case.
No available command to allow you do this, I don't know if OEM have the permission

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

How to print double sided with macbook pro on Samsung CLX-3180?

Hi,
I recently switched to using a macbook pro but cannot figure out how to print double sided/two-sided.
The printer I am using is Samsung CLX-3180 and it allows double-sided printing. I was able to do this with my windows computer previously.
The frustrating thing is that I see the two-sided feature but I cannot figure out how to turn it on. There is no option to change it.
It is listed here.
First, I go to "show presets."
Then, I click on "copies & pages" but I cannot turn it on.
Does anyone know how to turn it on?
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

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.

HP Officejet 7410 All-in-One no longer 'automatically' print double sided

After upgrading my PC from Windows XP 32-bit to Windows 7 64-bit my HP Officejet 7410 All-in-One printer no longer prints double-sided automatically. When sending something to print I am presented with only two options: Print One-Sided or Manually Print on Both Sides. If I choose the latter I have to manually reload the paper when prompted. I have tried searching for updates and downloading drivers but nothing has resolved the problem. I've even gone into printer properties printing shortcuts and changed the settings in "Print on Both Sides" to 'automatically' and still I am prompted to reload the paper. It is a real pain when I have to print a very large slide pack especially when the printer decides to pick up two sheets at the same time. I have spoken to HP and they say my printer is old and they cannot help me. It is about 8-10 years old. Any advice would be gratefully received.

Hello Toosweet
In Printer Preferences make sure the duplexer is enabled. Do you have the full feature software installed?
