Disable duplex printing on Canon MX 410

Hi,
I have a canon MX 410 printer and I can not find how to disable the duplex printing.
So far I have tried
to change the settings on the printing preferances (duplux printing is unchecked).
to update the driver to the latest from http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/pixma_mx_series/pixma_mx410
Do you have an idea what else anI do?
Thank for the help,
Dmok.

Hi,
From word open the print dialog and click the Copies & Pages. select Layout from the menu and then set the Two-Sided as off.
You may click the Preset drop-sown ansd save the setting as a preset, then it will remain as defautl till another preset will be used.
From Adobe open the print dialog and click the Print... button, then click the lowest drop-down and select Layout, the Two-sided option will appear there.

Duplex Printing on Canon IX6560 Problem

i've got problem with duplex printing on canon ix6560, i've installed the latest driver from canon website (11.7.1.0) for OSX Maverick (10.9.5). what is the solution ?

First, check the printer specification to make sure it's capable of duplex printing. If it is, there should be a setting in the Finishing tab of the print dialog. Reportedly, Canon tech support sometimes advises customers to uninstall the existing software before installing an update.

Disable duplex printing on HP7520 Mac OS X

How do I disable duplex printing on the HP7520 in Mac OS X? All updates are installed. Only Text Edit offers a Two-Sided check box in Printer Details. I cannot find a way to turn it off in Word or in an Adobe Acorbat pdf file. Two hours with HP tech support tonight to no avail. I have read the Windows resolution to this question but I need to fix it on the HP7520 in Mac OS X. Thanks.

Duplex printing on Canon MG6150

Hey everyone,
I recently bought a Canon Pixma MG6150 printer which comes with automatic duplex printing. I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
I want to use it in InDesign to create a booklet however, whenever I go into Print Settings>Printer>Duplex Printing & Margin everything is greyed out.
I've tried all the drivers I can find on the Canon website and the CD that came with the printer. I've heard about using older drivers, does this mean to download older OS drivers (I tried 10.5 and my Mac said it was not possible to install) or older drivers from Canon?
Any ideas? Thanks!

I fixed the problem, however I've seen a lot of questions about the Canon duplex printing issues with some Mac users so I thought I'd put my solution up to help anyone else.
Going through the On-Screen Manual that comes with the CD I found out that:
When a media type other than Plain Paper, Hagaki A or Hagaki is selected from Media Type menu of Quality & Media, Automatic Duplex Printing appears grayed out and is unavailable.
When Borderless Printing is set, Automatic Duplex Printing appears grayed out and is unavailable.
Automatic Duplex Printing can be performed only when one of the following paper sizes is selected from Paper Size.US Letter, A5, A4, B5 JIS (JB5), Hagaki
After printing the front page, there is an ink drying wait time before starting to print the back page (Operation stops temporarily). Do not touch the paper during the time. You can change the ink drying wait time from Custom Settings in the Canon IJ Printer Utility.
After going through the printing settings and following these regulations, Duplex Printing was no longer grey!

Duplex printing on Canon i860

I have a Canon i860 printer which I have had for a couple of years and have loved it. But since I upgraded a little over a year ago from a Lombard PB running OS 9.1.1 to a G4 iBook running OS 10.4 in its various incarnations I have not been able to print duplex copies. When I can get it to show up on the under the printer menu when I attempt to print the job just automatically stops and it will not print. I have tried loading new drivers but nothing seems to help. Any advice?

Hello James,
I am assuming from your post that you can print simplex (ie single sided) without the printer queue stopping. Is this correct?
Where do you select to do two-sided? Are you making the selection under Layout or is there another choice in the printer menu?
FYI - for the iP6000D I have currently connected to my MacBook there is the option 'Duplex Printing & Margin'. This is part of the Printing Dialog Extensions (PDEs) that get installed with the driver. The driver version that provides this option is v4.15. I know this version is available for the i865 (the i860 wasn't sold in Oz) and you can download it from the Canon Europe web site. Are you using this version and if yes, are you selecting Duplex Print from this extension?

Duplex printing challenges - Canon Imagerunner C2550

I'm trying to perform some duplex printing with a Canon C2550. The printer is capable of duplex printing however the option to enable duplex printing in the printer settings on the Mac is greyed out. Trying to use the Canon iR C2380/2550 UFR II (US) driver. I can't find any deplex driver settings in the properties of the driver either. If I switch to the Generic PCL Printer driver installed the Duplexer check box shows up in the driver properties however the printer sees the print request as an invalid formatted job.
Any suggestions as how to correct this issue?
Thank you!
Greg

One more important point to include: This is a networked printer, not a local printer. Thanks!

Duplex Printing on Canon MP830 possible?

Does anyone have a Canon MP830 connected to their MacBook running OS10.4.6? I am able to print, but not able to duplex print. The Layout section of the Print dialog box does not allow me to click on the double-sided printing option.
In Pages 2, there are a few other sections in the drop-down whose labels are struckthrough, one of which is named Duplexprint430, which I think belongs to the MP830, but again, I am not able to select it.
Any help, anyone?

Well I don't have a MacBook (yet), but on my PowerBook with 10.4.6 I see a pull down category called Duplex Printing & Margin. What yours shows sounds suspicous. Canon indicates you should be using driver 4.80. See this link:

To get the driver look here:

Disable duplex printing in Oracle Apps

All our reports from Oracle Apps have been configured to print in duplex mode. But we want to disable this option. I came to know that this can be controlled by Printer Style. Can someone please elaborate on this?
Thanks in advance for any help
-MS

Thanks Fadi and hsawwan for your replies. Actually it is not defined in the initialization string so it picks up whatever setting is there on the printer. Because we are using a common printer, we wanted to get out of this situation where the type of printing is controlled on the printer's side. Your suggestions helped, and now I am changing the current driver to forcefully print simplex and I am going to create a new driver in which I explicitly specify duplex, and this will be assigned to a new style which will be used only for prints requiring duplex. Is my approach right?
One more clarification I need - after changing the driver, I need to restart the internal concurrent manager from within apps?
Thanks

Duplex printing with Canon LBP3300 on 10.5.4

After struggle for over 24 hours, I finally managed to get my LBP3300 to print something for me.
http://cweb.canon.jp/drv-upd/lasershot/captusbmacx.html
This is the driver I use in case anyone wants it.
However, the next question is that I CANNOT get LBP3300 to do duplex, which is the ultimate idea of buying this printer!
I do see the item "Two-sided" under "Layout" in the printing option, but then it is in grey and I cant select it...
Is there anyone who can help????

I downloaded the manual that is located on the bottom of the page you have given the link to. Unfortunately it is written in Japanese (understandable given it was on the Canon Japan web site) but looking at the picture on p3.34 it shows the binding position of the paper. The image looks similar to the view in the UFR2 driver so you may have a menu heading of Finishing. If not, have a look at the picture on this page and see if you can match the view with the options you have in the driver.

Cancel duplex printing on HP 6700 using Mac OSx Yosemite

I've been searching the HP Forum site for weeks for a solution to turning OFF the duplex printing on the HP 6700 printer. The "tab" listed does NOT appear...so it's impossible to click on it. There are NO options or two sided printing on the HP 6700 print screen. None of the solutions here work...at least for us. It appears lots of others are having this same problem with the HP 6700 printer...no way to turn off duplexing. Does anyone have THE solution that works? Again, using a Mac Pro with the OSX Yosemite. (We couldn't get the duplex printing to stop with the last OS either.) Help would be much appreciated.

Hi,
Follow the steps below to disable duplex printing:
Open the file used to print, click the File menu, select Print. The Print window appears.
NOTE: The Print window might be minimized. Click on Show Details to see all available settings.
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.

Shlomi

Canon MX870 duplex printing problem

I usually have letterhead paper in my printer tray. And everything used to work fine: if I were printing single-sided or duplex, the printer always printed the first page properly, on the side with the letterhead.
But ever since I upgraded to Mavericks, it will print single-sided on one side, and page one of duplex printing on the other.
If I load the paper face up, duplex printing puts page one properly on the letterhead side. But if keep the paper face up and print single-sided, it will print page one on the back of the page.
Anyone else experiencing this? Anyone have any dieas how I can fix this?
Thanks in advance.

Hello Roger,
I just tested your symptom on a Canon MG6150 and it appears to be working fine for me.
I loaded a letterhead sheet face-up into the printers cassette. I then selected to print a single page from TextEdit. The text printed on the correct side.
I then created a second page in TextEdit document and selected to print. From the print dialog I enabled the duplex setting in the Duplex Print & Margin menu of the Canon driver. With the letterhead sheet loaded as face-up, page 2 printed on the blank reverse side first, and then paper was pulled back into the printer and page 1 was printed on the letterhead side.
So can you reply with what application you are having the issue with.
Can you also reply what driver version you are using. I am using v10.89.1.0 which was a recent update. You can check this by opening Printers & Scanners, selecting the MX870 and clicking on Options & Supplies. The General tab will show the version.

Connected wirelessly to Canon printer MX340. Duplex printing option is grayed out for me but not on my daughter's non-Mac laptop or husband's PC which is connected to the printer. Mine has two-sided option available at the Apple store. Any ideas?

We use a Canon MX340 series printer/fax/scanner. My husband has his PC hooked to it and my daughter prints wirelessly from it with no problem with her non-Mac laptop. I have trouble printing. Often it does not print and I have to delete the job from the queue. Other times it will print OK but two-sided printing is always grayed out in my printing options. When I took it to the Apple store and printed on their network (selecting their printer) the two-sided option was available. Makes me think the printer is set up wrong, but I am not certain. A fw times at home when trying to print I got an error message about incompatible fonts, but it printed anyway after deleting the job and starting over. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks

OK, just an update.
Two years into this, I still find I can only do full duplex printing by using Windows XP running inside of VMWare. I've had occasional, ephemeral luck with duplex printing, but nothing long lasting.
I've tried this in Tiger and Leopard (now at 10.5.6), and I've had this issue with Canon printers MP780 iP4300 and MP610, direct connected to my Core2Duo 17" MBP. I also have this issue when printing over a network, but that's a much harder problem to solve.
Currently, this is my #1 most pressing issue for my Mac, because not being able to print from a computer when you print a lot is a really big drag, and using VMWare all the time is also a really big drag. Other people posting seem to be able to print in Duplex using the very same printers. What could be wrong with my MBP? I see the duplex box option, but most of the time it's grayed out as if my printer doesn't support duplex.
I've tried direct selecting printer drivers from the system preferences, but nothing seems to have an effect. And this is off of a clean Leopard install.
My wife now has similar problems with her new MBP - the Canon print drivers (CUSP & non CUSP) aren't allowing the Duplex box to be checked.
I am willing to pay good money to anyone who thinks they can fix this problem.
Thank you,
- Jeff

Canon MF4150 duplex printing

Hi All,
Has anyone gotten duplex printing to work on OS X (10.4.9) with the Canon MF4150? They just released a new driver version (1.5):
link: http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=DownloadDetailAct&fcategoryid=3 35&modelid=14444
I installed this over the 1.4 version. The two-sided option (on the finishing tab of the print dialog) is still greyed out.
Canon tech support says that two-sided printing is unavailable on this printer.
However, someone over at macintouch says that they have gotten two sided printing to work on the MF4150:
http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/printing/topic4318.html#apr13
So, what is the answer. Is two sided printing possible from OS X on the Canon MF4150?
MacBook Pro 2.0GHz Mac OS X (10.4.9)

The MF4150 uses the UFR2 driver that is also used on the imageRUNNER copiers, which I already have installed on my 10.4.9 MBP. I added the printer driver and can see that the machine definitely supports duplex printing. As you have found it is located under Finishing > Print Style > '2-sided Printing'.
Since your option to select this is not available, I'm wondering if it is a detection issue? The UFR2 driver, like the PS driver, cannot be configured via Printer Info > Installable Options. For the iR's, the driver polls the copier to determine what accessories are installed. This is usually done on installation but I have also seen this 'get device info' window appear the first time you try to print. I would try selecting the printer in the printer list and clicking Utility. This will open the UFR2 Print Monitor which will give you info about the printer setup. This may 'update' the driver so that 2 sided becomes available?
Also, I've had issues with the Canon drivers/ppds where one option is greyed-out due to a constraint. For example, to staple a print job the collate needs to selected. But after selecting this, the staple option is still not available. You have to select another menu item, such as ColorSync, then go back to Finishing to select Stapling.
A last suggestion would be to delete the driver, reset the printing system and delete the UFR2 folder in Library/Printers/Canon. Then reinstall the new v1.50 driver (which is a Universal version) and add that again to see if it resolves your problem.

No Duplex printing (canon mp830) on mac os x v10.6.

How can I configure this? Updating the driver file to the latest version from canon failed.
I can not get access to the printer setting like Duplex Printing. Post Script printers usually have a lot of settings, but I don't see any.
Print Center is no longer available on Mac OS X v10.6.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
smkilcoyne

Hi,
It seems as the printer is not supported in any Macintosh envoirnment..
Check page 98 of the user guide, only Windows operating systems are listed within the system requirements:
