Drivers for duplex printing?

does anyone know how to find drivers for duplex printing?

If your printer has the ability to shuffle the pages and print on both sides in one pass, duplexing is in the appropriate Driver for your Printer.
If your printer cannot already do this, you need to do part of it manually, it takes a lot of fiddling, but the key features required are the ability to Print:
• Odd Pages
• Even Pages
• specified pages in reverse order.
Every standard Mac OS X printer Driver supports these already.
Reverse Order is a checkbox on the Layout menu on your "Print" page.
Odd or even or all is an option on the Paper Handling menu in your "Print" page.
For my face-up feeding, face-down delivering Printer, I use a little saying to help me remember:
"First, print to Odd pages evenly (in normal order) [then shuffle Output to Input for the second side]
Then, print the Even Pages Oddly (in Reverse order) [and if the paper does not jam, fronts and backs will be correct]"
Your procedure will probably be different. I had to draw myself a lot of little diagrams of stacks of paper to figure it all out, and without my little saying, I would have to find that page of drawings (or re-create it from fundamental principles) to be able to print on both sides.

Mac OS X 10.7 drivers for HP LaserJet 1300: installation at the "Add Printer" process ended, every time, with message "Currently drivers for this printer are UNavailable..."! PLEASE HELP?

APPLE [see Apple Support's Article HT 3669] says Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) has drivers for this Printer.
But, every time I've tried installing it to my Mac Book Pro (which came with OS X 10.7), it does recognize that the Printer (connected via USB cable) is HP LaserJet 1300 -- in fact, right below, this statement appears: "The drivers for this Printer are available...". But, when it comes to the actual process of downloading, the "Add Printer" window -- after 20+ minutes of its "searching" for the drivers -- always ends with the message: "Currently drivers for this printer are UNavailable... contact the manufacturer."!!! (Can you imagine? Apple says it's available... but its own "Add Printer" process says it's UNavailable!)
I went to HP's support site, and it, too, says that drivers for this Printer are available! -- see the 2 links:

Finally upgrading from 10.5 to 10.6; what should I do about drivers for photo printer and Nikon slide scanner?

Finally upgrading to 10.6 from 10.5.8. What do I need to do about drivers for my epson photo printer and nikon slide scanner? May be going all the way to 10.8.

I suggest you determine if compatible drivers are available either in the OS X drivers package or directly from the manufacturer. The following has a link for application compatibility. You can check this, too:
OS X- Printer and scanner software available for download
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
If you need to purchase Snow Leopard contact Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service. The price is $29.00 plus tax. You will receive physical media - DVD - by mail.
Third-party sources for Snow Leopard are:
Snow Leopard from Amazon.com
Snow Leopard from eBay
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store.
If you need to purchase Lion contact Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download.
Be sure your computer meets the minimum requirements:
Apple - OS X Mountain Lion - Read the technical specifications.
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
Are my applications compatible?
See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps - App compatibility and feature support for OS X & iOS.

Drivers for HP printer 5L compatabile with MAC OS 10 system

Does any one knows if Drivers for 5L HP printer compatable with MAC OS 10 ssytem are available? We have drivers for MAC OS 9 system but these do not work with MAC OS 10 system? Thank you for your help.
This question was solved.

Hi,
Although it is not clear which OS X version you refer to, the Laserjet 5L is not supported on Mac OS X 10.8:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?&objectID=c03411613
The same also apply for OS X 10.7 and 10.6 as well:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&taskId=120&prodSeriesId=...
If you have any of the operating systems mentioned above, although it is not officially supported you may still try the 3rd party HPIJS drivers which compatiblw with any of those latest OS versions and list the Laserjet 5L as supported.
Be sure to install any of the 3 required downloads prior following the Printer Set Up Instructions below:

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select

Does anyone know if I can print to hp photosmart 5510 from my 1st generation ipad if I can't download the drivers for the printer?

Am trying to set up an HP Photosmart printer and it is proving much more complicated than I'd expected. I don't seem to be able to download to my ipad from the HP website - does anyone know how I manage to print, or get my ipad to recognidse the printer, if I've no printer software downloaded?
Thanks, in anticipation, for your help

You can't download drivers, or any other software, via a browser on the iPad. If the printer isn't the HP Photosmart 5510 e-AiO B111a which supports AirPrint, and it also isn't supported by HP's ePrint app, then you can see if any of the third-party printer apps such as Print Central For iPad or Print n Share work with it.

Creating documents for duplex printing

Hi forum,
I've got a report that containts a repeating frame in such a way that each record is a letter to be sent to a particular person from database. Each letter might take a particular number of physical pages, depending on the amount of information that goes in it. Some of them takes one page, others take two, three, ... And here comes up the problem: As the PDF to be generated must be printed in duplex mode, I need to make sure that each letter takes an even number of pages. How can I do this?
Thanks a lot for your eventual help.
Luis Serrano.

Can an officejet 6500a be upgraded for duplex printing

I have an Officejet 6500a without the duplex option. Can I upgarde this printer by simple buying and installing the duplexer? Many thanks ...

For the E710a printer CN555a, the duplexer is not an option. It may physically attach but is not designed to work with that particular model.

Vista Drivers for Finger Print Reader on a Portege R200????

Please help
I have a R200 model, which originally came with Windows XP, now have Windows Vista Business Edition Installed & having problems getting the Finger Print Reader to work. I have tried plenty of programs which Windows says have installed properly, but they all state that the reader is not conected??
I have tried so many times to get it to work, and looked at the manufactures web-site for Drivers or Software, but nothing.
Seems very strange for a Toshiba Laptop not to work fully, even when it states on the OS sticker Windows Vista Capable ???
Ummmmmm

Drivers for epson printer FX286e

I have an older dot matrix printer that was connected to my old windows computer. It print thing like a tax return that has a lot of pages. I got a USB to parallel converter cable so I could it to the Mac and print low quality pages. Howerver Epson says Mac is the reason it will not print and Apple wants me to pay for support since my one year extended contract is done

By switching from Parallel to USB, you're going to lose a lot of direct control over the printer - it would surprise me if this would actually work. But the thing you'll need to research is how to control and drive the printer through the CUPS printing subsystem in OSX. But you're hiding the real FX-286e behind the USB adapter... so again, I'm not really sure how that would work.

No internet connection. How do I get drivers for my printer installed on my computer

I have an imac and Epson R2400 printer. No internet connection so can't get the drivers downloaded at site where printer is. I am able to get on the internet at the library and could download drivers to a flash drive if that is possible. Then flash drive could be used to load the drivers at the non-internet site. Is this possible or do I need to lug this heavy printer to a site that has a connection.

Epson might send you the drivers on a disc.
Use the email link here > Contact Us - Epson Contact Information, Email, Phone Numbers - Epson America, Inc.
That way you can install the driverrs direclty on your Mac.

ReportViewer Control Layout for Duplex Printing

I have been looking around for a solution to this. What I need to do is print out postcards in Landscape mode in a 2x2 format. With careful sizing of the tablix control and the Body, I have accomplished this such that it will print this way.
The problem is that the reverse side of the page needs to contain a canned message.
There doesn't seem to be any way to control what goes on the reverse side, as only the header and footer have access to the PageNumber.
It's almost as if I need a second Body to the report or something, but I doubt that this is allowed in the .RDLC definition.
Any assistance here would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I doubt, too.
I guess the canned messages are the same,so,why not print the back first?
