CS5.5 InDesign: Last 2 pages of multipage duplex print come out 1-sided

Using CS5.5 InDesign, last 2 pages of a multipage duplex print come out 1-sided. Same page ranges print OK in PDF. Printer is HP Color Laserjet 4700 with latest device firmware. Have latest HP drivers on Mac OS 10.7.
This is a recent problem. Had no problems with CS5 InDesign duplex printing from this computer to this printer until a couple weeks ago. First sign of an issue was that printing slowed to a crawl. Literally 5 minutes to resolve one page to the printer. Updated the printer firmware and speedy printing returned, but then noticed the duplex printing issue. Problems began about the same time as a Mac OS system update, but I'm not sure which came first, the software update or the printing issues. No problems with the printer from other software or other computers on the network.
I have read that certrain InDesign print settings sometimes produce unexpected results in some computer environments. Am hoping this is the case, and someone on this forum will know the trick.

I think for most users, "the trick" that produces the most consistently predictable result is to never print directly from InDesign; always go to PDF and print that. Personally, I haven't even attempted to print from InDesign since CS2.

  • Laserjet 1320 - no duplex, print comes out offset, top 4 lines missing

    Hi,
    I have an HP Laserjet 1320 connected to an Ubuntu (Gutsy) server and shared as a SMB printer.
    Printing from Linux or Windows XP works fine: the print is aligned, I get duplex etc.
    When I print from my Macbook Pro running Leopard 10.5.1 I get the following:
    - The print alignment is offset vertically, resulting in the top four lines or so missing from each print (i.e. off the paper).
    - No matter what I sent in the print dialog duplex does not work.
    I have installed the latest driver from the HP site, but that didn't make any difference.
    Any ideas?
    Regards
    D.

    I found this fix for duplex from a 1320;

    The thrust is that the print option is set intra-application, not at printer level. Say launch word, select print, then click on copies and pages, this gives you the option for 2 sided. You can over type the "standard-1" with text such as "Duplex 2 sided printing", which then defaults to mail etc.

    Hi, My printing has suddenly changed in adobe to a large scale, as in, what should be one page of print comes out as 24 pages?   I havent changed anything, its happening on more than one document also, I have to stop my printer before all the pages spew out. I have tried printing 'one single page' and it does exactly the same? Help?

    Is the Poster Print feature turned ON?

  • Prints come out as blank

    prints come out as blank using Adobe X 10.1.2 win 7 on network printer ( HP 2035N )

    I started to have the same issue last night on my Samsung printer. Here are some things I did. One, I noticed it defaulted to printing to One Note and not my printer. I also had to change the Quality advanced setting from 600 to dpi1200 . I was also printing blank pages from gmail so anyway hope this helps. I'm printing today. Also my drivers for my printer were recently updated via software update so I don't know if that had any impact or not. I went to my Samsung Easy Printer Manager app and made sure the settings looked okay and I had the right default printer selected. The good news is that it technically is "printing" now it's just finding out the setting or why it's not getting the text info. You may want to also mark print in gray scale to see if that has some impact. Good luck

  • When printing objects with lowered opacity prints come out pink

    At the office here we have a SHARP MX-5112N PCL6. We use Adobe Indesign CS6 for designing and printing our marketing material. A problem I have encountered is everytime I use a lowered opacity on a filled coloured object the print comes out a pink/magenta colour no matter what the colour is on the document.
    I have attached two images to show what the print should come out like (first image) and what it does come out like (second image) on the SHARP MX-5112N PCL6.
    I have tried various printer colour settings but nothing seems to correct this.
    If anyone has a solution for this please leave a comment below. This only happens when using tints/opacity adjustments so its definately a software issue.
    Many thanks,
    Nick

    Have you got the latest print driver for your printer?
    Have you downloaded a postscript driver for your printer? If you do - you can install the PS driver as a separate printer in your printing options and try print from that instead.

  • Every photo I print comes out red.

    Colour printing works fine till I choose photo paper.  The picture is black and white. The print comes out of printer Red.   This has never happened to me before.  I tried printing from Adobe Photoshop elements and Iphoto  Same results from both.

    Check your printer.  The nozzels may need to be cleaned.  Run the printer's utility to clean and check the nozzels and check the ink supply.  Some printers use multiple colors in prints B/W images.

  • Just bought a 8500a, when printing a photo on HP Premium Plus paper, the prints come out not glossy

    Just bought a 8500a, when printing a photo on HP Premium Plus paper, the prints come out  flat,not glossy.
    On my old HPL7680 a photo w/same paper come out glossy & shiny. This maybe what should be expected w/8500A and is not a problem w/the printer. The 8500A is set to advanced photo paper, best quality. I worked w/HP tech support and was told to send back to the Amazon where I bought it for replacement. But if this is not really a defective printer than it doesn't make sense to send it back. I also purchased a HP C510 Photosmart and the quality on photos is excellent, so I have solved my photo printing problems per say. Has anyone else noticed lack luster, non shiny photos coming from the 8500A?
    My thought process was that if the L7680 printed a shiny, glossy photo, then the 8500A should too. But this may not be what I should expect... 
    IS MY 8500A DEFECTIVE OR JUST WHAT SHOULD BE EXPECTED FROM AN OFFICEJET PRINTER AS OPPOSED TO A PHOTOSMART PRINTER.
    thx Jim

    The Officejet 8500 uses pigmented inks which have different characteristics than dye based inks.  HP Premium Plus paper is not really very suitable with pigmented inks, a better choice would be HP Advanced Photo paper.

  • HP Deskjet 5568 WiFi Printer - Last page gets stuck while printing

    I bought a HP Deskjet 5568 two days ago. I have printed nearly 50 pages already.
    I am having a problem while printing "manually" on both sides. It prints the odd pages first from back to front. While printing the last page (the first page of the document), the printer gets stuck. The page is halfway in and the printer just stays there. If I pull out the page, the 'orange' resume light blinks; if I press it, the printing restarts.
    The problem is that after it gets stuck, the printer doesn't print anything. I have to delete the print job and now I have to print the other 'even' pages myself.
    Please help me. Is the paper getting stuck part of the printing process (stupid question)? I don't actually think it's getting "stuck," I think the printer doesn't allow the page to come out for some reason as the page is actually fully printed (the data is all there).
    I have also noticed that this only happens while printing in "manual" two-sided mode.
    Also, I can't edit the printing shortcuts in the printer control panel. If I change the paper size to A4, the next time I open the control panel, it is once again set to Letter. Why is this? 

    Hi I_am_Ann,
    I understand you are having an issue printing from the computer on your HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 2515 All-in-One Printer.
    I do need some other information to assist you.
    The current OS installed?
    Did you install the printer on your computer?
    This document should help take a look at the printer to make sure all is ok.

  • Blank pages inserted during duplex printing

    I just installed an OfficeJet 4500 G510g on a 64-bit Windows 7 system and configured it using the network interface.  After having some initial installation problems I downloaded the latest Full Featured driver and was finally able to get everything (printer, fax, scanner) working okay.  Tonight I tried my first duplex printing job and found that the output has random blank pages inserted.  The first time I printed, I got page 1 on the front of the first page and the back was blank.  Page 2 was on the front of the second page, page 3 on the back of that page and so forth up to another blank page between pages 6 and 7.  After looking at the configuration to see if I had something set up incorrectly, I tried it again.  This time I got page 1 on the front of the first page, a blank page on the back, another blank page on the front of page 2 and from then on it was correct up through page 7.  I am an embedded software developer and the ability to print duplex listings is very important to me.  Unfortunately, at this point I have no idea what to try next.  Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    I'm hoping for an answer to this problem also. Here's what I've found so far:
    "I am printing statements on a double-sided stationary capable printer. To ensure that each new statement starts on a new physical piece of paper, I need to add a blank page if the previous statement had an odd number of page sides. How can I do this?
    Place an invisible boilerplate line before the repeating frame that contains your data. Give it a Page Break before and anchor it to the repeating frame. Then write a format trigger that only prints the boilerplate object (and thus the page break) if it is an odd page number. "
    I've tried this but it isn't working for me. I'm using this logic for printing the page:
    v_page number;
    begin
    srw.get_page_num(v_page);
    if mod(v_page,2)=0
    then
    return (FALSE); --if an even page don't print
    else
    return (TRUE); --if an odd page do print
    end if;
    end;
    If you find an answer I'm hoping you'll share it with me. Thanks!

  • J4680 printing comes out as program

    In order to print out, have to select what printing is wanted, copy, then to go Microsoft Word, paste, print.  When tech had me uninstall printer completely & then reinstalled it & tested - it printed test okay.  When went back again from wanting print from other, i.e.. Bank payments, HP, E-mail, etc. only thing is getting "PROGRAMMING RESULTS"
    How is this corrected to have not have programing printed out instead the actual printed?
    Please advise - this is something new in last few weeks - it printed any wanted in the past.
    Thanks
    PS
    Wanting to print this post, but again got only "PROGRAMMING RESULTS". 

    when i print any images (photos etc) on a pages doc, it comes out as a negative image
    The colourants on the colour desktop display and the colourants on the colour deskside printer are controlled by a conversion that is supposed to be under the control of what is called a colour profile, that is, a colour matching transform in the file format of the International Color Consortium.
    Publishing software uses its own machinery while software for personal productivity publishing uses the machinery in the operating system. Supposedly, at least. This suggests that you either have a problem in the setup of your printer driver, in the setup of the ColorSync Utility (where the ICC transform for your colour desktop display and colour deskside printer are registered) or in the ICC profiles assigned to colour objects in Apple Pages. I'm sorry, but it is not possible to be more specific without more information.

  • Everything I try to print comes out blank.

    No matter what I try to print from firefox it comes out as a blank page.. unlike other similar posts on this site my print preview is NOT blank. It looks normal, but then only blank pages shoot out of the printer.
    I am using two different printers.
    I CAN print to both printers from the SAME websites using chrome or IE10 but it CANNOT print to EITHER of them from firefox.
    I HAVE ALREADY tried every trouble shooting step located here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-printing-problems-firefox
    I HAVE ALREADY tried the 'reset' firefox and I've uninstalled and reinstalled firefox. None have solved the problem in any way.

    Known issue with Win10. There are multiple Bugs filed which the Mozilla developers are working on.

  • Prints come out wrong size

    I have 32 bit Vista Ultimate, an HP 7410 printer, and Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0 with all the updates. When I print a single print, it comes out the size it is supposed to be. However if I use the "Print Multiple Photos" Option using the same pictures, the pictures do not come out the size I select from the menu.
    Is anyone else having this problem? Any fixes?

    What size you are getting when you are trying to print multiple copies.
    Are you using Organizer or Editor for printing...
    Did you try resetting preferences?

  • Lexmark X4550 Double Printing/Two Sided/Duplex Printing Greyed Out

    Hey all,
    Been just over a week since I got my new MBP and while I can print wirelessly to my Lexmark printer, I can't get double sided printing to work - it's greyed out and unselectable.
    I've tried various help pages on Lexmark's website, I've got the latest drivers for Leopard but it hasn't helped - as for Lexmark's support...pfft! I think they're all sleeping at work; phones are never answered.
    It seems many people are experiencing the same on all various printer brands and someone had given a HP solution download but obviously it won't sort this LM printer out!
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Just another idea... Could it be that the option is greyed out because the printer doesn't have an automatic duplexer?
    What I mean is that even when printing double sided from Windows, it would print a page and then I'd have to re-feed the page - so it's like manual double sided printing.
    If so, is there an option somewhere else for manual duplex?

  • When I print multiple photos on the same page,  the prints come out different.

    I have printed several copies of the same photo, 2 to a page.  The 2 copies are different.  One seems to be before adjustment and one after, so the exposure appears different. My printer is a Canon pro9000. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
    Thanks!

    If you print the photo (2 to a page) twice separately, i.e. not 2 copies of the same setup in iPhoto,  are they different?
    Try this:  in the Print menu use the PDF button and select the Save as PDF option.  Then open the file in Preview and print the 2 copies.  Do they look the same?  If not then the problem may lie with the printer not maintaining the same settings from one print to the the next.
