Double Side printing in Lion?

Ever since I upgraded to Lion I've noticed that I cannot double side print in Reader. Other apps are set to double side print without issues, but I can't get Reader to DSP. I have Adobe Reader X (10.1.0), Mac OS 10.7.1 and a Lexmark Prevail Pro705. I've even gone to the Lexmark site and updated my driver. Any thoughts? I checked the sticky on the Forum Homepage about Lion compatability, but I was unsure how to translate the work around to my situation.

I ran into the same issue - Adobe Reader does not print double sided on my Lexmark Genesis S815. Did you find a solution in the meantime?

Mac Microsoft Word 2008 double side printing

Hi.
I recently purchased Macbook Pro 15, and installed Microsoft Office 2008.
I have a SamSung Express 282 series laser printer.
When I use my window pc or window labtop, it double-side prints all right.
But when I try to double-side print with Mac Pro Microsoft word 2008, it doesn't work.
From the Print menu, I go to 'printer feature' and click on 'reverse two-sided printing', but it keeps saying
"Changing the setting of Reverse Two-Sided Printing to On would cause a conflict that cannot be resolved. No change will be made,"
and does not let me click on it.
Does anyone know what's going on?
I really want to save some trees and do only double-sided printing, but it doesn't let me.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, guys.

Be sure to pick the OS X Lion 10.7 driver from the pulldown menu before selecting the driver category below it.
If that doesn't work, contact Canon. There are some Lion supporting double sided printers for sure.
Mind you,when manufacturers rely on the CUPS drivers as they did in this instance they may have
taken the easy way out, and that might avoid having the double sided printing.
http://support.apple.com/kb/dl899 may be able to patch those drivers to give you double sided printing if the Canon ones do not.
There are a few other open source alternatives*.
When double sided printing doesn't work, the trick is to rotate the pages upside down and feed face down switching odd and even page numbers.
Test with single sheets first, and then once you get the hang of it, do multiple.
I don't know where your printer feeds, so you'll have to try a couple times to figure out the correct direction.

Black ink only & double side printing

This is regarding a printing issue using my newly bought printer. I wish to print double sided using the option black ink cartrige only under grayscale printing. However, when I select double side printing, there were only 2 options under the grey scale printing (off which means color or high quality). Is there a way to select both double side and black ink cartrige? Furthermore, does grayscale printing using high quality option uses ink from the black ink cartrige or also from the color cartriges? thanks in advance

What printer model? What operating system?
Generally there are two options for grayscale printing, either "use black cartridge only" or not. If the "use black cartridge only" box is not checked color ink will be used as it provides better print quality.
Some printers and some drivers do not support "black cartridge only" when printing in duplex mode. In duplex printing a small amount of color ink may be used to underprint the black print to make it dry faster to prevent smearing in duplex printing. (Not intuitive, but it is correct....)
See here for some information on how ink is used. Some ink will be used for servicing even when printing with black ink only.

Double side printing from SAPScript, last page missing

Hello all,
I try to setup double side printing from SAPScript, but have a problem and hope that somebody might help me.
In my form I have two pages with main window (FIRST and NEXT) which have print mode set to 'D' and next page set to 'TANDC'. Page 'TANDC' has only one VAR window which contains terms and conditions text.
Now, everything works fine except that T&C text isn't printed after last page (ie. after last 'NEXT' page). Is there a way to force printing of last (back side) page?
PS: Calling 'WRITE_FORM' from the print program at the end didn't help either.
Thanks in advance.
Grigor

Hi Vinod,
this has a same effect as calling NEW-PAGE from form.
Again, window 'FOOTER' is printed on a new page instead bellow 'MAIN' window and there are no T&C on the last sheet. I also tried to explicitly call text element in window 'FOOTER' before calling 'CONTROL_FORM', like this:
CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_FORM' "last element in 'MAIN' window
       EXPORTING
            element = 'LAST'
       EXCEPTIONS
            OTHERS = 01.
CLEAR sy-subrc.
CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_FORM'
       EXPORTING
            element = 'FOOTER'
            window = 'FOOTER'
       EXCEPTIONS
            OTHERS = 01.
CLEAR sy-subrc.
CALL FUNCTION 'CONTROL_FORM'
       EXPORTING
             COMMAND = 'NEW-PAGE'
       EXCEPTIONS
             UNOPENED = 01
             UNSTARTED = 02.
It looks like the 'FOOTER' window is under control of SAPScript, not of print program.
Note: 'CONTROL_FORM' call is placed immediatelly before 'CLOSE_FORM', so at the last possible place.
Kind regards,
Grigor

Anybody here have try the double-side printing?

It doesn't work when I try to do the double-side printing. And in the schedule info, it is Single-side --!!. Of course our printer support the double-side printing.So,any idea about this?
And I add the filter to transform the pdf to ps,is this the possible reason that the tray selection and double-side printing do not work?

To print on both sides (Duplex Mode), you have to
1.Have a Postscript ready printer.
2.Install Pasta
3.Install and Setup third party software like xpdf or Ghostscript to convert the PDF to PS file
4.Setup Printer Style and Pasta Config file
a.Define custom print style like 'Duplex PDF Publisher'
b. Assign this print style to Printer Type with with standard PASTA driver 'PASTA_PDF'
c.Then query printer driver 'PASTA_PDF' and on the arguments field, enter following -pn$PROFILES$.PRINTER -f$PROFILES$.FILENAME -c$PROFILES$.CONC_COPIES -Fpasta_pdf.cfg
d. Verify that the file $FND_TOP/resource/pasta_pdf.cfg is present and that it contains only one "uncommented" entry corresponding to the installed third party tool, as follows:
preprocess=pdftops -duplex {infile} {outfile}
pdf2ps (Ghostscript) by itself does not support the duplex option. You will need to use XPDF software (pdftops).

Double side print

I can't double side print because the pdf size is always changing & my printer only will do the double side print if the document is standard size 8x11. How can I change the size of my adobe so it defaults to the required 8x11?

That is specified when the document is created.
But in your case, can't you get it to print when changing Page Size & Handling, e.g. Fit, or Shrink oversized pages?

PhotoSmart Premium C309a driver problem in Win10 at double side printing

My problem is as follows: I created a catalog in MS Publisher 2013 for A4 paper format with 2 page per paper. I selected booklet side-fold type and double side printing. MS Publisher prepared all pages in correct way. I even created PDF versuions of such pages. But each time when I print pages, the printer keeps make them smaller (I think it scale them for Letter format) despuite the fact I changes in printer preferences A4as default paper source, all documents are in A4 format etc. As result, the printed pages are shifter from the center page on the left side, which is ok for one side printing but cannot work for doyuble side printing as shift is in different directions for result paper. Additionally, I cannot any more print on DVD or CD surfaces as the driver doesn't support sauch a feature. Please let me know how I can replace the native Windows 10 driver with the one for Windows 8.1? Or is there any other solutions except using another OS? Thx, Vlad.

Hi , Welcome to the HP Forums! I noticed that your HP PhotoSmart Premium C309a is having a driver problem in Windows 10 when printing double sided. I am happy to help! According to this guide, How to Use the 2-Sided Feature, it looks to me as if the double sided printing feature is only available to use with regular plain white paper. (Letter sized), which could be why the printer is scaling the size to letter. You could possibly try using an alternate driver, by going to this post, How to Assign Alternate Print Drivers in Different Versions of Windows, by , and follow the steps for Windows 8, as they will work on Windows 10. Then you could attempt a custom size print. But as mentioned previously, I am positive that the 2-sided feature for this printer is for Letter sized paper only, and cannot guarantee this will work. Hope this answers your question, and thank you for posting! “Please click the Thumbs up icon below to thank me for responding.”

Keeping the double side printing box ticked

I want to do double sided printing. I tick the box and all is OK. But next time I find the box has unticked itself and I have to start all over again with system preferences/print and scan/ select printer/ open print queue/setup/driver/ tick the box. How do I make the box STAY ticked? It used to stay ticked but now defaults to unticked after each double sided print job.

To print on both sides (Duplex Mode), you have to
1.Have a Postscript ready printer.
2.Install Pasta
3.Install and Setup third party software like xpdf or Ghostscript to convert the PDF to PS file
4.Setup Printer Style and Pasta Config file

Double side printing through SAPLPD ?

we have defined a few printers which use the SAPLPD
now we have 2 printers which use SAPLPD
LOCL with the type SAPWIN -> driver SWIN SAPlpd/SAPWIN driver
and
LO02 with the type HPLJ4 -> driver HPL2 HP LaserJet driver PCL4
If I have defined in my windows printer that I want it double sided and with a staple then the LOCL respects the local settings in the windows printer (but the layout is horrible since not everything is recognized correctly)
with LO02 the layout is correct but the print is not double sided and not with a staple ??
anybody got a clue how I can define a SAPLPD printer which has enough font settings etc possibilities to get the layout correct and still respects the local printersettings from windows concerning double sided printing ?
kind regards
arthur de smidt

I found out that the SAPWIN printer could not handle HELVE and times properly. with arial installed the layout is much better and no strange behaviour in sapscripts

10.6.8 and Canon IJ Double-side Printing

I have a Macbook Pro running OS 10.6.8, and a Canon Inkjet Printer (MP276). However, I can't get print duplex/double-sided printing when printing from my Mac. When printing, selecting the "Layout" dropdown option, the "Two-Sided" option is greyed out.
This problem existed with my older HP printer too. This only seems to be the case with my Mac as my other laptops running Windows can print double-sided.
Could someone render me some assistance please?

I think its under the Tab Pages to sheet
My Epson I select Layout and then select 2 sided
Select that tab and see what the options are
selecting the "Layout" dropdown option, the "Two-Sided" option is greyed out.

Who/Why did recent updates embed default double-side printing all PDFs

Until the recent updates, I have had no difficulty saving and printing online/saved pdf documents. Today, my printer (set up for single page printing) was comandered by
Adobe PDF and went into double sided printing when when recent and past pdf documents were printed and checked.
THIS IS AN "UNACCEPTABLE" UNANNOUNCED IMPROVEMENT (?).    I was not provided with any list of "options" to include/add/choose regarding default printer behaviour embedded in PDF saved/read/new documents. This used up printer time and ink with loading, notices to reverse and/or note to add more paper. I now have to double check and clear the checked box for double sided, and clear PDF default. When the same supposedly defaut free document is closed then reopened, the default free status has reverted to "double sided"
It should be that this eco-friendly politically correct option should be a printing option that one should check to obtain when appropriate and wanted. I should not be this stupid unannounced, poorly thought-out, aspberger-teckie enforced assumption of proper consumer conduct and needs.

This is my thanks for the swift and professional responses by Dov Isaacs and Dave Merchant to my angry extensive diatribe about a glitch that could have been stated in one sentence/question.
Since 11:55 a.m. Jan 11, after receiving Dov Isaacs' response e-mail notifaciton until this moment, I have attempted to e-mail multiple my thanks response. This was my attempted response: (which I now had to retype, since copy and paste don't work on this reply message):
Thanks for your immediate response. I wentthrough a recent document, changed setting to one sided in both printer page and document default, then printed that document single sided and saved it (replaced previous this this saved one). then closed documents folder, reopened the PDF folder, clicked pring on this new replacement saved document. It now retained the single page setting. I went through other documents previously checked and each one now retained the single page printer setting.
They all previously had retained the double paged setting of the very first pdf that printed double sided.
I now understand that whatever is page paper sided setting of the last printed saved document, once that document is printed, the printer reads future pdfs as the same setting, until a new document with a new setting is printed. The last printed setting then is retained and applys to the rest of pdfs until changed and printed again in a new printing, etc, etc.
Thanks for your (now Dov and Dave) immediate, professional response(s) to my outrage and stupid assumptions. I stand corrected and I apologize.
Now as a note for Adobe/Website from one who spent extensive time searching for anything that allowed me to ask a question, and once found, I posted my question to somewhere that God himself only knew where or who may respond.
One simple easy-to-fix glitch question from a consumer frustrated by naive endless website rovings to post the question, to me, incites outrage. I refuse to throw my computer out a 10 storey window, take an ax to my monitor and drive over it with my car and dump everything on the freeway. Until now, I was taking a deep meditative breath and sputtering FY all.
Compound that with the following seemingly avoidance behaviours and the sputterings become paramount. Suddenly I am listed in Membership Areas (as an expert--someones got to be kidding). My reply/reply to all resulted in the following return message: "jive-2063828440-vep3-2-2g;[email protected] email address as reply or as entered in new message was rejected by receivers servers and was returned as rejected--This is the mail system at host mail.sgaur hosted jivesoftware.com.

All areas resulted in message the services were unavailable, until the final message message Adobe is updating webpage.   Adobe contact us resulted in typical tips menues that avoided nonsense consumer e-mail direct contact to anyone, except telephone contact.
To me, one simple solution to e-mail response notification: At the first sentence of each notification e-mail state: No Reply Response to message sender address allowed (whatever posted by other e-mails I receive).
I still don't know how I finally got here in the first place, but thanks to one and all for assistance. No reply required, since I may never find this spot ever again.    K.D.

Double side printing alignment issues

I have a officejet pro 8500a plus. I have Windows 7 and have gotten all the updates that have been sent. I am having trouble with the alignment of the back pages. It cuts off about and inch at the top. How can I get the back page aligned? I try to double side everything, but certain documents are worse than others.
Thanks, Shelly

Shelly,
It sounds as though the Back Side, Top Of Form is shifted down an inch when duplexing. It also sounds like the shift is dependent on media type and size. Here is my suggestion; remove the cables (Power Cord & possible USB or Ethernet cable) from the rear of your unit. Then, remove the duplex module in the lower rear face of the device. There should be a set of pictorials (stickers) displaying how to do this. Once removed, open the doors on the duplexer (there are 2) and make certain no foreign debris or other contaminants are present. You can wipe the elastomeric rollers off with alcohol if they are white colored with paper dust. Replace the module in the rear and reconnect the cables. Then, open the ink supply access door prior to powering the unit up and inspect the other elastomeric rollers. If they are white as well, clean them with a few Q-tips wet with alcohol until the traction returns to the roller. Lastly, check the top cleanout and make certain all the small rollers (which are held in place by small springs) are intact. If you can, whip any paperdust out from the top cleanout and the recess that it fits into. Power the unit on and try a simple duplex command with A size media (81/2" x 11"). Let us know if this fixed your problem.

Can't make double side print after installing Lion OS X 10.7.2

I'm using Canon D520 printer. With Lion OS X i can't make any duplex print.
Any one can help to fix this issue,

Hi WLV_Jim2,
Apple changed the way the OS functions with the 10.6 update. Please refer to: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/cant-print-pdfs-mac-os.html This document outlines how to create PDF files with Acrobat 9 on OS 10.6 and later.
