Duplex printing prints first page single sided

When I print duplex on Adobe Reader (odd # of pages) it always prints the first page single sided. How do I change it so that the last page prints single sided?

I've got a Brother MFC J6510DW, so it doesn't seem like a printer problem.
It works normally when I print from other programs as well, which makes it even more annoying.

How do I print the first page of numerous documents?

Computer setup:
Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.10 on Windows XP Professional x64 Edition.
User experience:
I consider myself proficient in office (Excel, Word) and software use in general (Windows XP). The extent of my Adobe Acrobat experience is creating custom dynamic stamps. I have little to no javascript programming knowledge.
Problem:
Numerous pdf files in multiple directory locations must have the first page of each document printed.
Current (and time-consuming) solution:
Copy the files to a single directory
Use Acrobat Pro to combine files and individually select the first page for each document
Combine and print.
Tools
Filename Extractor (can be used to extract the filename OR filename and path of documents)
Bonus Points
An index of all documents exists in Excel format. Documents are selected for printing by filtering this Excel index. The Excel index will have a column containing the path of each document. A solution that can utilise this path information to shortcut the time-consuming "copy and paste" method currently used will attract bonus points.
Thanks in advance,
Simon

Create a batch process the executes the following JavaScript code:
this.print({nStart:0, bUI: false, bSilent: true});
It will silently print the first page of any file you batch. Be careful not to overload your printer's queue by sending too many files in one go.

New iMac with OS x Lion. Printing envelopes w/ Address book makes a second blank envelope. Drivers up to date. Have to mark print only first page. Had no problem with Snow Leopard. How to correct.

I recently purchased a new iMac with OS x Lion. Previously was using a four year old iMac with snow Leopard. I have three HP printers with up to date drivers for Lion. When I try to print an envelope from Address Book I have two problems:
1) I have to change the orientation to vertical to get the proper margins, which I never had to do before and
2) It prints a second blank envelope unless I tell it to only print the first page.
Neither of the problems occurred with my previous iMac/w Snow Leopard and it appears to be a Lion/HP software incompatibility. I have worked with a Apple supervisor (Case # 316225300) for hours and finally reinstalled the operating system to no avail.
I do I correct both problems???

Contact HP and ask them to write better drivers for Lion. Find a printer that is more compatible with Lion. I've not printed envelopes with Lion before, though I've had no difficulty with either Epson Artisan 810 or Canon MX700 for regular printing. Sometimes open source drivers also work better than manufacturer drivers. See this FAQ*:
http://www.macmaps.com/printersx.html
While many open source drivers won't give you duplex or printer diagnostics, at least they may work better for other features.
Lastly, I've often found for a more consistent print, saving as PDF, and then printing from Preview can sometimes be the best work around. Someone in the Mac OS X Technologies forum might be able to help you write an automator script to do this in one fell swoop, if you find it works better for your needs.

I am using window.print() to print the data of my webpage, it prints only first page and left the remaining while it works fine with IE and Google Chrome, ie print all the pages.

My Page has data more than one page, it has verticle scroll bar to view all data .
I used window.print() to print the data of webpage, but it prints only first page and left the remaining information.
This works fine with Internet Explorer 6+ and Google Chrome.

Does the entire webpage appear in Print Preview? <br />

Macbook Pro won't print the first page of any file in any application.

Problem: My Mid-2009 Macbook Pro won’t print the first page in Microsoft Word, Sibelius 6, or in Adobe Reader. My printer is an old Canon MP480 that’s worked for almost 2 years perfectly. As well, the “print to pdf” function results in the same error. However, if I open a new user account it all works fine. To change user accounts would be an extreme hassle though so, if possible, I would like to first remedy this one.
Recent changes: the motherboard of my computer was replaced about a week and a half ago. I printed a lot of stuff from Word two days ago and that worked fine but, already then the print to pdf function was cropping off the first page. At the time, though, I accredited the issue to the word documents being filled with pictures of sheet music that I was printing instead of text.
Things I have tried:
Updated Mac software
Repaired Disc Permissions in Disk Utility
Checked for new printer drivers/firmware
Reset the PRAM (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379.)

No but it's not a printer-related issue because the "Print to PDF" function also leaves out the first page.

I'm trying to print out a credit card statement from my iPad, it only prints the first page not 4pages, please help

I'm trying to print out a credit card statement from my iPad, it only prints the first page not the 4 pages, please help

I read your first post when I was posing a separate question on the Mac Pro board. I now see that we may be talking about printing from an iPad with Airprint instead!!!!! I very much suspect the print command and settings are different for Airprint but I have never used it to be able to offer concrete advice. I think the setting choices could be different even with Airprint on the laptop and further that you may not even be using Safari but some special app???
I've not heard or seen the term "frame" in the context of printing before except perhaps in the context of a screen shot. Is the credit card statement a "pop-up" of some kind rather than a webpage or pdf?

When I print a web page it only prints the first page and not the rest of the web page below the page break.

When I print a web page firefox will only print the first page, all of the content to the first page break and nothing past that.
How can I change the settings so that it will print more than on page?

-> Tap ALT key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar
-> go to Help Menu -> select "Restart with Add-ons Disabled"
Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. Now do this:
-> Update ALL your Firefox Plug-ins https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
-> go to View Menu -> Zoom -> click "Reset" -> Page Style -> select "Basic Page Style"
-> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> unselect All Unwanted toolbars
-> go Tools Menu -> Clear Recent History -> '''Time range to clear: select EVERYTHING''' -> click Details (small arrow) button -> place Checkmarks on '''Cookies, Cache, Site Preferences''' -> click "Clear Now"
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Content -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Block Pop-up windows 2) Load images automatically 3) Enable JavaScript
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Security -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Warn me when sites try to install add-ons 2) Block reported attack sites 3) Block reported web forgeries 4) Remember Passwords for sites
-> Click OK on Options window
-> click the Favicon (small drop down menu icon) on Firefox SearchBar (its position is on the Right side of the Address Bar) -> click "Manage Search Engines" -> select all Unwanted Search Engines and click Remove -> click OK
-> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Extensions section -> REMOVE All Unwanted/Suspicious Extensions (Add-ons) -> Restart Firefox
You can enable your Known & Trustworthy Add-ons later. Check and tell if its working.

Firefox only prints the first page of several multi-page URL's.

When I try to print a multi page URL, it only prints the first page and identifies it as Page 1 of 1, instead of Page 1 of x.
But, IE-8 prints ALL x pages of the same URL perfectly.
I've noticed this exact same FF problem with certain other URL's.
This problem is on the current version 14, and dates back to version 9 or before! Any suggestions?

They gotta fix this. It's been a huge problem for me for more than a year. I''ll defect to Chrome soon if they dont address this bug soon. Printing has been atrocious, even pathetic, i hate to say it. I can only print one page, maybe two if i am lucky. Sometimes, if it prints more than one page, the first page is mostly blank and the formatting of the text and sidebars is completely overlapped and sometimes unreadable. Basically, printing in Firefox is useless - it's a joke. I have to take the URL from Firefox and paste it into Chrome to get a decent print job. Why isnt this bug a higher priority?

Why does my Laserjet 2055dn only print the first page of a print job?

In our domain, we have a number of 2055dn printers that act up on intermittent bases. At times, they function properly, but other times they will only print the first page of a print job. Our domain has only HP printers so there should be no conflict with drivers. My solution has been to delete the printer on the local machine and then to reinstall them after reboot. That has helped at times. In other cases, I have installed the printer only on the local machine and not the copy on my printer server.
I have updated the print drivers, on the server and on the local machines. I have changed drivers to PS, to PCL 5 and to PCL 6.
This only seems to occur in one of my three buildings that house this model of printer. I have even done firmware upgrades on the printers.
I appreciate any help that I can get on this continuing problem. Thanks much.

Then use the latest solution!
Which doesn't need specifying either.

My printer will only print the first page of a doc from "Pages" in good quality.

I've tried reloading drivers etc. Nothing works. My printer prints everything just fine EXCEPT for when I try to print a doc from the PAGES app. Then it only prints the first page (technically the last one prints first) and then all subsequnt pages are very poor quality.
Lexmark tech support says the problem is not with their drivers.
Any thoughts as to what the problem might be ??
THANKS for any help !

Printing only first page of multiple PDF's

I need to be able to process a stack of PDF documents.
What I need: to always print-out only the first page of all documens.
These are invoices with sometimes 5 pages, sometimes 2....but I only need to archive the frontpage.
So: opening each of these maybe 100 documents and always only print the first page manually seems a bit like "nonsense" to me.
Could do this on a friends machine who has an Acrobat Pro X installed.
Help appreciated
Anna

Great! Many thanks
Is there actually a kind of marketplace for Javascipts for Adobe Acrobat Pro somewhere? ...

Second o/p been printed from first page due to page format

Dear All,
I have created a new page format with width 210 mm and height 290 mm and included it a smartform for invoice printing that I have created.The problem is that when i take a printout of the invoice program it prints the first page perfectly,but when I take printout of the next invoice,it starts printing from the same page itself ,hence the second invoice is printed on the first and the second page .Other page formats are been printed correctly.The problem is only with the this page format that i have created.Even if i Change the width and height of the page format from SPAD ,the output remains the same.Please help.
Thanks in advance,
Subhabrata Choudhury.

Hi,
I am not sure which device type you are using, but it is possible you need to add some commands in the sections below from SPAD:
SPAD -> Full Admin -> Device Types -> <Device Type> -> Formats -> <Format> -> End of page
E.g. In a windows device type like SAPWIN, the command below is needed:
formfeed
\f
This ensures that there is a formfeed after each page. You can check the standard page formats such as DINA4 to see which commands are required for your device type. Also for some device types, commands are needed in the printer intialization section for your custom page format to tell the printer the length of the page.
SPAD -> Full Admin -> Device Types -> <Device Type> -> Formats -> <Format> -> Printer Initialization
Again you can check the standard page formats like DINA4 or LETTER as a reference.
Regards,
Aidan

I want to print an email which has multi pages but I can only print the first page

Firefox cuts off the URL in your printout, if it's really long, and you also have on the same line (header or footer), the Date and Pages
What I have summarized below is based on this page . . . http://www.watchingthenet.com/how-to-change-or-customize-firefox-printing-defaults.html
I have two questions:
To fix, do a custom setting, for the Header and Footer as follows:
Print / Page Setup / Margins & Header/Footer / "Customize" the "Left" as follows (leave Center and Right all blank)
&T
&U . . . . . . . &D . . . . . . . &PT
&D shows the Short date as: M/d/yyyy - and then the time
To change the format of the Short date in Win 8.1, go to:
Control Panel / Date and Time / Date and Time tab / Change date and time / Change calendar settings /
Date / Short date . . . change from M/d/yyyy . . . to . . . MM/dd/yy
QUESTIONS:
1.) How do you get rid of the time, which appears after the date? In IE, you use a lowercase "d" - but that doesn't work here.
2.) Is there a way to change the font just for the Header and Footer, to something like Microsoft Sans Serif 10?
Firefox leaves no room around the text in the Header and Footer at the edge. To fix:
Address Bar / about:config
Enter keyword "edge"
Then change all four values for the printer you're using to:
print.printer_Foxit_PhantomPDF_Printer.print_edge_bottom . . . 5
print.printer_Foxit_PhantomPDF_Printer.print_edge_left . . . 10
print.printer_Foxit_PhantomPDF_Printer.print_edge_right . . . 10
print.printer_Foxit_PhantomPDF_Printer.print_edge_top . . . 5
