Duplex printing control on Mac

Running Reader 10.1.3 under Mac OS X 10.6.8.
According to Help, Page Sizing and Handling should look like
but instead I see
which I suspect is the 10.1.2 version, and it doesn't print duplex, which is what I want.
Yes, my printer is a duplex printer.
Any help?

Oh wow, thank you for providing such a detailed post!!
If you don't have the driver tab, then some thing is wrong with this driver; Either you didn't install the correct one or you didn't install the full feature software. Before going any further, please uninstall the HP software you currently have installed by following this HP document on Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Please perform method one and two from this document. Once this is complete, you need to download this HP software:
I will even provide the link right here for you, so you can download this right now. Please let me know if this makes a difference.

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.

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 mac

I Have an Officejet 4612 with duplex printing on a Mac using OS 10.10.10 when printing duplex from Word the back of the page is upside down. What can I do to make this right.

Hey @Effectsman,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I would like to assist you today with resolving the duplex printing orientation issue you're experiencing with your HP Officejet 4610 series Printer. I'm going to start by providing you with generic duplex troubleshooting steps to resolve this issue for you.
Step 1: Check the Duplex Settings:
Please just ensure that the Duplex print settings are set correctly.
Open the document you want to print.
On the File menu, select Print. The Print window displays.
Print window
In the expanded Print window, select the check box next to the Two-Sided option.
Expanded print window
Click the down arrow next to the name of the program to see the available panels.
Click the down arrow next to the name of the program
Select Layout from the drop-down list. The Layout panel opens.
From the Two-Sided drop-down list, select Long-Edge Binding or Short Edge Binding, depending on the orientation you want for your pages. When you select one of these options, the illustration shows you how the pages are oriented.
Select type of binding
Source: Printing on Both Sides of the Paper (Duplexing) in Mac OS X
If everything is set as it should be but the backside of the page is still upside down, can I have you proceed to the next step.
Step 2: Check Driver:
If your product happens to be using the Apple Airprint driver than that could cause duplexing issues. To ensure that this is not the case can I have you:
Click on Apple
Select System Preferences
Select Print & Scan
Under Print &Scan select your Officejet printer queue and verify if the title shows 'Airprint'
If it does, hit the (-) minus sign to delete this print queue
Select the (+) plus sign to readd the printer
Ensure that the 'Print Using' selection is set the the correct HP model of printer you have and not Airprint.
Now try to duplex print again.
Please let me know if these steps resolve your issue. Best of luck!

New Brother 52050DN printer. Can't figure out how to duplex print

I just got a Brother 5250DN printer. It says it's capable of duplex printing on PCs and Macs. I've installed all the latest drivers and still can't find anything that says duplex printing. The included docs only tell how to set up duplex printing on Windows XP.
Thx

Adobe Acrobat X Pro on Mac does not select duplex print by default

I have Adobe Acrobat X Pro 10.1.8 for Mac. When I print a document, Acrobat does not select duplex print (i.e. "Print on both sides") by default. While I can manually select duplex print, I don't understand why this isn't the default option here as in every other application. Just for reference, here is a screen shot of my default print screen:
I have played around with duplex printing in the advanced properties of PDF's. I have also played around with the DuplexMode property in the com.adobe.Acrobat.Pro.plist file. Actually, there is no DuplexMode property in the file, but I tried making one, which didn't solve the problem. There is a printBookletDuplexMode property but that doesn't seem to make a different. In any case, nothing has worked.
There are some similar questions on the forums, but they are either slightly different or haven't been answered. Is this such a difficult issue?
Thanks for any help,
Jonathan
Message was edited by: jondaman21. Small clarification to what I've tried.

I agree with your statement; even for a particular document, if I choose to "Print on both sides" and then print again immediately after, "Print on both sides" will be deselected.
However, I'm not sure what you're implying by you're statement. I'm asking precisely why this setting isn't sticky. Acrobat uses a non-standard printer dialog; in the usual dialog I can easily set a defualt duplex setting. I almost always want to print duplex. Why can't I do this by default in Acrobat?

Duplex Printing Problem in Adobe Reader X (Mac)

My normal printer setting is for duplex printing. However, Adobe Reader X will only print on one side of the paper.. This is on a MacPro under Mac OSX 10.6.6 and Adobe Reader X Version 10.0.1 printing to a Canon IP4500 inkjet printer. Other applications duplex fine.
Any one else with this problem? Fixes or workarounds?

After having the problem / aggravation, I went through each area trying to
learn how to get past it. Finally, I checkmarked 3x "Don't Show Me This Again"
Then I established a default printer thereby forcing Adobe to retain print preferences
instead of defaulting to "Any Printer" and losing custom settings
STEPS I TOOK (you may know of something faster, easier?)
CTRL P or File, Print to receive standard print dialogue
Within "Printer:" use drop down to select "PRINT & FAX Preferences...."
Note: You can set print & fax preferences thru System Preferences, but for
now we're here
Select the printer you will normally use and set up a default printer (for Adobe)
If the Lock at bottom left is closed it will require the system admin ID and PWD
to unlock/lock in order to make changes :-)
Once finished close this (top left)
You will be returned to this panel
To the right of the "Printer:" drop down is the arrow that expands your options,
make sure it is aiming UP
Middle of screen is "Layout" Select the drop down and select "Two-Sided Printing"
Look at the next screen image posted below and you will see there's more steps to
follow for two sided printing
Check mark "Print Both Sides"
By Re-Opening the Drop down now showing "Two-Side Printing", you can of
course adjust other items while here
Paper Type/Quality allows you to select items such as print quality, color settings
Select "Print" (bottom right of screen) to return to Adobe Reader Print Page
Save time by opening the "Presets:" dropdown and save this as a custom print setup name
i.e. grayscale_DblSided, Color_DblSided...
Finally, Check Mark "Reverse Pages" to print Back to Front and help Adobe
not to print a single sided first page and double sided pages for the others... Nice!
It's time to press "OK" and hover over the printer to ensure Adobe didn't send
instructions to print your 100 single side pages despite all best efforts
Since going through this rigamarole I have not had to reset it every time

HP Pro 200 M276nw Color Printer Duplex printing with Mac OSX Yosemite 10.10

So, I have been trying to use the duplex printing feature with my Mac. However, I havne't been able to figure it out. I see the option for manual duplex printing, but the actual duplex printing feature is not working.
Any advice?

Hi @joshcooley09 ,
I see that you are experiencing issues duplexing from Yosemite. I will certainly do my best to help you.
Did you download and install the latest software for Yosemite for the printer?
HP LaserJet Pro 200 Color M276 Full Feature Software and Drivers.
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. (Laserjet M276)
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.
Now try and print two sided.
On the File menu, click the Print option.
Open the Finishing menu, and click the Manual Duplex tab or open the Manual Duplex menu.
Click the Manual Duplex box and select a binding option.
Click the Print button. Follow the instructions in the pop-up window that appears on the computer screen before replacing the output stack in Tray 1 for printing the second half.
If the issue persists, connect the printer to the Mac by a USB cable and test the printer. Just to rule out a network issue, if the printer is networked.
How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet/Wireless)
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

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

Can't get duplex print option for pdf files using Adobe ReaderXI 11.0.04, Mac 10.8.5 with HP8600

I get two-sided option for normal printing, but
I can't get duplex print option for pdf files using Adobe ReaderXI 11.0.04, Mac 10.8.5 with HP Officejet Pro 8600. HP says it's an Adobe problem. I'm stuck.
Thanks in advance.
VO

It depends where the pdf is located. If in the Finder or in an attachment to
an email in Entourage, the message is ³You can¹t open the application
³Acrobat Reader 5.0² because PowerPC applications are no longer supported².
If an attachment in an email that has come via Safari, the message is
³Safari can¹t open the file because no available applications can open it².
In each case the menu bar is Finder or Entourage or Safari as the case may
be.

Duplex Printing - running Mac OS X 10.9.3

I can't figure out how to turn on duplex printing on my MacBook running Mac OS X 10.9.3. I've tried downloading the driver twice and I can't find the "Driver" tab as outlined in step 7 on the following link.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c03874521&lc=en&product=4323648&tmp...
Can somebody please help me figure out how to turn on duplex printing?
Thank you in advance.

Hi Imtall62,
I would like to help you enable your duplex printing.
I added an 8600(just picked a printer with a duplexer) onto the Mavericks, and with the AirPrint driver there are only the two tabs (General and Supply Levels) under the Printer Setup. When I delete that printer and add it again using the HP driver, I have all the tabs I was expecting in the Options.
If you see AirPrint next to your printer name like the image above, delete the printer and when you choose your printer now in the list of printers you will see 'Use', Airprint (it's typically the default), click on AirPrint and choose the appropriate HP driver.
Once you have added the printer, you should now be able to use the two sided feature. To verify that the two sided accessory available check the settings like the image below, (it may look a little different)
Please let me know if this resolves the issue. Thanks, I will watch for your reply.

Hello dekcanada,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly what you are asking or describing. If you are asking how you would set up double-sided or duplex printing in Yosemite, you may find the information and steps outlined in the following article:

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:

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.

HP LaserJet M1217 nfw MFP duplex printing mac

This printer prints duplex manually. Is there any way (as there is in Windows) to set printing to duplex so alternating pages print on one side and then paper is reinserted to complete duplex printing. Duplex option is grayed out in Word and other programs. Doing the job completely manually would be annoying.
Thanks to anyone who can help!

Hi,
Try following the steps below and let me know if that helps:
From Word, open the Print dialog.
Click the Copies & Pages dropdown menu and select Layout.
Set Two-Sided as Lpng-Edge binding and click on Print.
If you cannot see the exact options, go to Printers & Scanners and click the Plus sign.
Select the M1217 printer and then click the Use drop down menu.
Be sure to select the printer model rather than the default AirPrint option and check for any difference.
Please let me know of any issue,
Shlomi
