Duplex Printing for MX922

Hey I didn't see this in the forums anywhere so thought I'd make a new topic.
How do I duplex print with the mx922? I'm printing from a USB stick and can't seem to find how to print both sides of the paper.
Bonus question: my printer only seems to accept jpegs. I've tried PDFs and it keeps telling me the format us not supported. That can't be true, eh?

Since this is not an auto duplex printer, you will need to go into your printer properties and set the allow manual duplex check box. Once you have set it there it will duplex all the time.
Start menu >Device and Printers Folder > Right click on the printer > choose printer preferences > finishing tab (I think that is what it is called, if not look for the tab that has...print on both sides (manually) or allow manually duplexing (Sorry, I don't have this printer hooked up to a test box or I would get you a screenshot )
If you want to only duplex certain jobs, then you can do this through the application at the time you pick your printer by selecting printer properties (located under your printer selection button) and setting it for only that one job.
Open application > File > Print > Printer Properties > finishing tab (steps are the same as above)
Just remember...
Box checked = duplex (default option so this should already be set unless you have unchecked it)
Box unchecked = not duplex
Last word of caution on these instructions...you may have some variation as I am going off my memory here....my printer is not hooked up.

How do I set up automatic duplex printing for my HP Laserjet Pro400 M401n series?

How do I set up automatic duplex printing for my HP Laserjet Pro400 M401n series from my PC using windows 8?

Thanks for your reply.
Looks like I didn't do enough research as the HP site said it's available however upon further investigation only manual duplexing is available with drivers installed.

Duplex printing for smartform

Hi,
Has anyone worked on Duplex printing for smartform? If yes, please tell me the procedure/steps that need to be taken for the same.
Thanks
Regards

Hi,
You can select Duplex printing in th epage properties of a page (D = Duplex)
The printer STARTS duplex printing from that page. This means that the printer triggers a pagefeed on that exact moment and starts printing on a new page. So when you have 1 page that stretches over more that one sheet of paper this means trouble. after every page the flow of the program starts a new Duplex print (thus feeding the current sheet and starts at a new page) this results in a new sheet of paper every page. this is not what you want.
You can solve this by creating 2 pages and set their respective NEXT PAGE to each other. Page 1 you set to DUplex, pagae 2 you leave blank..
But notice that when you select duplex printing most (if not all) printers start printing on the backside of the paper. When you use pre-printed (logo) paper, you will find that it prints the front on the back etc.
This can sometimes be corrected (if needed) by sending prescribe commands to the printer directly.
Good luck!

Auto duplex printing on MX922 won't double side print PDF's that my old MP560 did. what can I do?

My MP560 got the dreaded B200 code, meaning get a new printer. Hesitated to buy another Canon, but the MX922 had all the features I was looking for. Easy set up, but first problem was printing from the internet, 922 wanted to use paper in the top tray not the letter size in lower try. Had to save doc. as PDF then print that, 560 did this without any extra work. Auto duplex is way to complicated and haven't got it to work yet. 560 duplex print was selected from print dialog box. Anyone have any helpful suggestions. I am thinking of returning the printer.

This YouTube video solved the problem for me.

Duplex printing for last 2 pages only

A customer has an invoice report where they want the terms and conditions (which are 2 pages) duplexed while the report itself is not printed that way. Any ideas if this can be done using native SSRS?

I am not sure this will work or not, but you could embed the printer code for duplex printing into your stream.

Duplex Printing for Officejet 5740

I recently purchased an Officejet All-In-One 5740 printer. I did not realize that automatic duplex was a default and not an option. I can't find a way to change to 1-sided print (there is no selection in Properties). Is there an allowance for 1-sided print for this model printer?
This question was solved.

Hi,
From the application used to print open teh Print dialog, then click on Properties / Settings / Preferences to access the Printing Preferences dialog.
Within the Layout tab set Two-Sided printing as Off, confirm the changes and try printing again.
Additionally from the Control Panel open Devices and Printersm right click the printer icon and select Printing Preferences.
Ensure the same that Two-Sided printing is disabled to ensure it is diabled by default.

Duplex Printing for HP Color LaserJet CP4005dn Setup

How can I get my duplex printing to show up/work from the printer pop-up menu. Have installed all HP CP4005dn drivers. Installed the printer with all installable options. Printer works fine except no duplex print options. Have followed Mac Help's "Displaying a printer's special features when you print" to the letter. Nada. Have UNinstalled the printer. Downloaded all Mac updates. Downloaded all HP updates. Have reinstalled the CP4005 printer with intallable options. Still no duplex print options. Where is the miss? Why can't I get the duplex to function?

Have you taken a look to the configuration of the Printer? I have a HP 2340 with duplex and to configure it I have to do the following:
On the Preferences Pane, click on Printing and Fax or open the Printer configuration Utility. In any case, click on the printer and choose "Configuration of the printer" (in the Printer utility this is in the pritner menu). Then you will see information of the printer... May be there you have an option to activate the duplex... In may case there is a checkbox.
But may be you have done this...
Bests,
Álvaro

Set Simplex/Duplex Print for Adobe Reader documents

Hi,
I'm developing documents using Adobe Acrobat Pro that our users will open with Adobe Reader 8.0 or higher. I need to set the Simplex/Duplex print parameters individually by each document.
I've tried adding trusted javascript in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\Javascripts directory. I can set the number of copies and lastPage properties but no luck with Simplex/Duplex.
my script includes pp.DuplexType = pp.constants.duplexTypes.DuplexFlipLongEdge;
The Simplex/Duplex works if the document is opened with Adobe Acrobat Pro but not using Adobe Reader 8.0
I see a posting suggesting "Cos level APIs - see the PDF Reference 1.7" but do not find anything in PDF Reference 1.7.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
I see Acrobat/Reader 9.0 is available. Is there anything regarding passing collate=true/false in 9.0?

How do I turn off duplex printing for Photosmart 7520

When printing boarding passes, tickets, or legal forms, I want to print on one side only. However, I do not find this option anywhere, and I am forced to print one page at a time.

What is the OS and version? On Windows, if you want a printer settings to stay, you change it in the system print property, if you change it in the pop up when printing, typically it's considered per session and the change don't stick. If you change a setting in a specific app (word, adobe), they may or maynot send that info to the printer.
If you are using presets, after making the changes, you may be able to save a new preset with the wanted properties and use the new preset from now on for the type of print jobs (e.g. save a preset named "boarding pass")

Duplex printing problem with Reader Upgrade

I upgraded Acrobat Reader 10.1.8 to 11.0.4 and can no longer access fast or duplex printing for PDF's. I have a Canon MP970 printer for 3 years and have always been able to do both fast printing and duplex printing of PDF's.
How do I resolve?

I have an identical issue to neuegestaltung, but with an HP 5500. I can print single-sided to A3/tabloid successfully but when I try printing duplex the right quarter of the page is cut off on both sides - almost as if it thinks it's printing portrait.
Applications affected include Adobe Acrobat 8 and 9, Adobe CS3 and CS4 applications including InDesign.
Preview works fine, but of course the colour balance makes the output unusable.
OS 10.6.2, print driver HP Color LaserJet 5500 v 3010.107.
Using the Gutenprint driver I can't either do A3 or colour so there is no solution there.
Worked fully and correctly with the same apps under 10.5.x.
At the moment I am running Windows XP under VMWare to print from Acrobat, which is plainly silly.
Any useful* observations, suggestions or workarounds welcome.
*Needless to say, "It's Adobe's problem" or similar are not acceptable responses. It may well be an interaction between the Adobe's applications and Apple's printing system and/or driver of course; in that case the companies need to collaborate to solve the issue.

Duplex printing with cups

Hi,
We have a bunch of Macs all running 10.4.9 (Client) which are unable to print double-sided documents to our printer which is hosted by a redhat enterprise server (v4.4) box, cups version 1.2. The annoying thing is everybody else (windows, linux) can. The printers are set up as A4 paper size, the Macs see that and we see the duplex option in the print dialog box but the printouts come out single-sided with a blank sheet at the end. Another aspect is that when we add a printer using System prefs>Print & Fax etc the cups printer description is displayed as the printer name in the set up dialog on the Mac. Has anybody come across this before and, more importantly, does anybody know how to solve this problem?
Cheers,
Matt

Can you tell us which driver you are using on the Mac's. If it is the included GIMP-Print drivers, try the new Gutenprint 5.0.0 drivers.
Also, you may want to check the printer info in case you have to add the duplex option. And also try setting the Page Setup > 'Format for' in the application for the printer, rather than any printer, as this can impact duplex printing for some printers.
Re the printer description being displayed, I know that when you add a network printer the IP address or DNS name is shown as the printers name in the Printer List. You can select it and do a Get Info to rename it.

Duplex printing- 2540 all-in-one desk jet

Just bought an all-in-one in the online manual it says how to set up duplex printing for OS X 10.7 however when going into system preferences the option in the drivers tab for duplex does not appear. Does the printer actuall allow for duplex printing or do i need to install another driver?
thanks
Chris

Hi Chris,
The Deskjet 2540 do not support Automtic Duplex Printing.
As the specific device provide manual duplexing only you may perform manual duplexing as following:
In order to perform manual duplexing, you shouls use the Pages to Print setting, as you may find listed within the Printing on both sides of the paper manually section below:

How to duplex print pdf file on hp 1320 using upd pcl5 on windows 7 ?

I am running Windows 7 Professional (64bit), with a HP laserjet 1320 using driver HP UPD PCL5 (v5.5.0.12834), with Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro v9.5.2 and MS Word 2010. When I print a Word 2010 file I can choose duplex printing (print on both sides) and everything works fine. However, when I open a PDF file, click FILE then PRINT then PROPERTIES the PRINT ON BOTH SIDES option shows "none" and no other option is shown. I searched Adobe support and it says duplex printing is controlled by the printer driver, not Adobe software. I have uninstalled & reinstalled the UPD PCL 5 driver two times already but still the same problem of not being able to choose duplex printing for any PDF document - yet it works for MS Word. Any ideas ? Thanks

Duplex printing with Reader XI?

Adobe Reader XI (11.0.07) does not recognize duplex printing for my Brother HL-5370DW printer. This occurs in OS X 10.6.8 and Mavericks (on different computers). All other software, including Acrobat Reader 9 (and earlier versions of Reader) and Acrobat 8 do recognize the duplex mode on the 10.6.8 machine.
Is there a solution or a software workaround?
Thanks

I don't know what is causing this; you could try Print as Image (Advanced button on the Print panel).
