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.
Please click the Thumbs up icon below to thank me for responding.

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.

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!

Cannot find c310 printer running mac osx 10.7.5

hi, I had a c310 connected wirelessly to a macbook pro running osx 10.7.5 working fine.
suddenly could not print, and message read cannot find printer.
tried following steps as described in different threads:
- restarting mac and printer
- uninstalling and resetting printers
- trying to add printer
but mac can't seem to find the printer
However both printer and mac are connected to the network. any clues on what to try next?
Thanks

additionally, printed the network configuration page and the netwrok config test page and both seems to be OK
Thanks

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

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.

I have Microsoft Office 2004 on my MacBook (2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo). It is currently up to date with Microsoft updates. I am running Mac OS 10.6.8. I just updated my Mac software with "Security Update 2012-001". I am now unable to print (Epson NX510 printer) from Excel or Word. When I click on the Print menu item in Excel, there is a flash in the background like it is trying to open the print window, but nothing else. I am able to print from other programs like TextEdit, Mail or KakeidaGraph. As far as I know I have the latest Epson print driver.
Also, I am also unable to open an existing Excel or Word file from the open menu - both programs lock up and do not respond. I have to force quit. After I restart Excel or Word I can open an existing file by double clicking on the file, but if I again try to open another file from the open menu, Excel or Word lock up.
Any similar problems?

Howdy,
Apparently some are reporting that this causes the older PowerPC (PPC) applications that are supported in 10.6 via 'Rosetta' to crash upon attempting to open/save/print using any dialog box, or fail in other similar ways such as simply not printing or quitting, or freezing/hanging/crashing of the application.
I have read of some companies that have indeed submitted proper bug reports to Apple, but that is not a guarantee of a bug-fix being issued.
You might wish to read:
http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/snowleopard/index.html#d02feb2012
If you are unsure if you are still using PowerPC apps, if the application is currently running, look under the 'Activity Monitior' (in Applications -> Utilities), or alternatively you could check in the System Profiler, Applications. Check the column "Type".
Here is a fairly simple way you can restore you system and restore you applications functionality again, if you don't have a recent clone or good Time Machine backup that you can restore from. If you do, restore from your backup prior to having installed the Security Update 2012-001.
Time Machine restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1427
If you are restoring a backup made by a Mac to the same Mac
With your backup drive connected, start up your Mac from the Lion recovery partition (Command-R at startup) or Mac OS X v10.6 installation disc. Then use the "Restore From Time Machine Backup" utility. Select the backup prior to your issues, and it will be restored back to the state it was in at that time.
If you can't easily restore from a backup, you can instead do the following:
- You first start by reinstalling your OS X 10.6.x, this will preserve all your user data, your applications, no worries there.
- Then install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 (links provided below)
- Make sure you're printers are showing up correctly in your system preferences, if not, re-add the printers
- Then finally, run the Apple Software Update (by pulling down the Apple Menu), and install any and all remaining updates, except do not then re-install the Security Update 2012-001. It is possible that you may have to reboot after installing some of the updates, and you may even need to run it a 2nd time to make sure that you've got all updates, except NOT the Security Update 2012-001.

How can I print to my HP OfficeJet 6500 Wireless Printer from my iPhone 4S which used to work before AirPrint printers were even available? (running Mac Lion OS, all software and HP sw updates are all performed)

How can I print to my HP OfficeJet 6500 Wireless Printer from my iPhone 4S which used to work (on prior iPhones) before AirPrint printers were even available? (running Mac Lion OS, all software and HP sw updates are all performed)
I don't get it, I read one post about why would we have to buy an AirPrint Printer when we have used the "print to a wifi printer" just fine in the past? Yes I feel that's exactly what's happening to me now too. I want to print from my iPhone and iPad to my WiFi Printer which is also now connected to my Airport Express WiFi network just fine. No problems.

Very glad you added that bit of information because I see different problems similar to this. I want to share with them what you did and hopefully you not only fixed your specific problem but you can lend some more advice to others with problems like this. Thanks!
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.

Laser Jet CP1025nw: Duplex printing not available from Mac

I just bought a new HP Laser Jet CP1025nw printer and have installed it for wireless use. When trying to print from my Mac (OS X 10.9.3) the option for (manual) duplex printing is not showing up (greyed out) in the print dialogues in applications (e.g. Microsoft Word, Adobe Acrobat Pro).
How can I get duplex printing workingfrom my Mac?

Hi there,
Does you printer/RIP support protocols other than AppleTalk? If it does, then I would change it to something like HP Jetdirect-Socket.

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

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.
This question was solved.

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.
