EPSON Artisan 810 Two-Sided Print Option Grayed Out

Hello,
I have written a document in Pages and am attempting to print double sided using an EPSON Artison 810 all-in-one as I have used it in the past. The media type is set to plain paper/bright white paper, the paper size is US Letter (or 8.50x11.00) and Artisan 810 is the selected printer. As far as I can tell, the Two-Sided option should be working, however every time I try I get the following screen:
Does anyone have advice on how to get this to work?

Read your Epson user manual to see what it states regarding 2 sided printing & Mac OS. Reason for this is because I have an Epson XP 400 which also allows for 2 sided printing. Yet, its user manual does state this option "may" not work on Mac OS. I could never get it to work w/SL.

Two-sided printing option greyed-out HP OfficeJet 7500a

Hi,
Could anyone help me? I just bought a HP OfficeJet 7500a (which does support duplex printing) and I am unable to do two-sided printing as the dropdown menu (located in layout in the print screen) is greyed-out.
Do I require a driver or anything like that?
By the way I am running Mountain Lion Developer Preview if that matters.
Thanks in advance.

Two sided print option is grey out

Recently, I noticed that when I need to print two-sided documents, the "two-sided" print option is greyed out. I have gone into System Preferences Printers & Scanners- and under "options" for the printer enabled the HP Two-sided Printing Accesory (Duplexer). This button continues to disengage (won't remain enabled) and each time I need to print two-sided, I have to repeat the above process. Please help

Hi,Try resetting the printing system and check if that may help:*Be aware that resetting the printer system will remove any existing print queue and reset any customized driver settings.
Click the Apple menu, and then click System Preferences .
Select Printers & Scanners.
Right-click (or Ctrl + click) your product in the Printers list in the left panel, and then click Reset printing system .
Click OK to confirm the reset.
Type your user Name and Password .
Click OK . The printing system resets. Next click the plus sign and select the listed printer. Within the Use drop down menu select the printer model and press the Add button. Hope that may help,Shlomi

J4550 All In One Two Sided Printing Option Lost after re-installation!?!?!?

Was wondering what I am doing wrong.
My computer crashed over the weekend and I had to restore to factory defaults.
I re-installed the printer from the installation disk that came with my All in One J4550.
I opened up a powerpoint of some menus I had made and printed before.
When I went to print out these menus there was no option available for 2 sided manual printing in the printing options/preferences page.
Before the reinstallation I had been able to print up menus using the 2-sided printing. Now it's nowhere to be found. Was this option maybe made available through an update or something?? I have downloaded several to no avail. Thanks for your help!

Hi Jill542,
if you goto the HP Officjet J4550 Printing Preferences > Printing Shortcuts tab, do you see "Manually" available in the "Print On Both Sides" option?
if you goto the HP Officjet J4550 Printing Preferences > features tab, do you see the "Manual" avilable in the "two sided printing options"? if you couldnt' see the "two sided printing optios" at all it might be due to you have unchecked the "enabled advanced printing features" in the print driver. to enable this you can
1. right click on the HP Officejet J4500 printer icon
2. click on the advanced tab
3. check "enabled advanced printing features"
4. now if you go back to printing preference again you should see the "two sided printing options "available in the feature tab
Say "Thanks" by clicking the blue Kudos star in the post that helped you.

Envy 5530 two sided printing option disappeared when updated to Win 8.1

When I updated my drivers after installing Win 8.1, my two-sided print option disappeared on the print dialouge window. It's not hidden, it is not there. The option is still there and works on my Win 7 computer. I can also copy two-sided documents using the touchpad on the printer.

Two-sided printing option causes crash

Hi all,
I searched a thousand times, but to no avail.
We have an HP printer, the DJ 6127 (DJ as in Deskjet ), and for a few years we've had nothing but trouble with it when printing from our Macs. I'll skip the details, but now, I've got all Macs able to print on it even through wireless. Phew.
Except that when you print and click on the "two-sided printing" option, whatever the application, it crashes.
A few months ago, it somehow worked on MS Word .doc documents, but crashed Preview and Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Pro for .pdf…
Now, even MS Word crashes.
Between now and then, we'd installed a new router (a D-Link), which caused serious trouble (took me ages to finally find a way to make the whole thing work).
Is this a driver problem? Because if it is, then the latest drivers by HP seem to be completely broken…
Thanks for reading,
Peter Craddock

Hello Peter,
The Layout > Two Sided Printing is part of the OS X print system, it is not vendor provided. So I don't think HP has a problem with their drivers. You have a problem that exists deep in your Mac.
The first thing I would do is download and run the 10.4.8 Combo Updater. If you kept your Mac updated by using the provided Software Update then the Combo updater may help to resolve a number of things. Once this is completed I would run the Repair Disk Permissions. This can also help to resolve printing issues.
Regards,
Paul

Two sided printing option disappeared?

I have an HP Officejet 6700 Premium printer, copier, scanner, fax, etc. Initially I could have the option of two sided printing both as a printer and a copier. I can no longer access that option. It has disappeared from the screen. What can I do?

Hi Tiqlov,
Welcome to the HP Support forums. I gather that you can no longer choose the double sided option on your Officejet 6700 printer.
Please follow the steps in Resetting Your Printer and ensure that the printer is plugged directly into a wall outlet. For reference purposes I’ve also included Printing on Both Sides of the Paper (Duplexing) document.

HP LaserJet P1005 Two-sided printing not working on network

Good day!
I have a desktop, with Windowx XP, to which my LaserJet P1005 is connected via USB. My wife has a laptop, with the same Windows XP, from which she can print, but the two-sided option does not work right. She can check it and print, but the window to restart printing for the second side does not open and there is nothing we can do at this point.
I have trie duninstalling the printer from both computers and reinstalling the newest drivers, it still won't work.
Thanks for your help!

I have an HP PhotoSmart 2575 All-in-One with the latest HP driver that displays the two-sided printing option greyed-out in the Layout window. According to HP, your printer must be capable of accepting an optional two-sided printer tray to work on a Mac. To me that is ludicrous since in Windows the driver supports manual two-sided printing.
To get around this, I select the Paper Handling window and from the Pages to Print drop-down list select Odd only instead of the default All Pages. After clicking the print button the odd pages print starting with the last page and ending with the first. I then remove all paper and reinsert the printed pages with the top of the page facing the printer. First, though, I reorder the pages with the first page on the bottom and the last page on top. If the total number of pages is an odd number, I remove the last page from the inserted stack, as that is the very last printed page. I then select Even only from the Pages to Print drop-down list and click print again.
Problem solved.

HP L7760 two-sided printing not working

I have an HP Officejet Pro L7760 which does two-sided printing, or it did until I upgraded from 10.5.2 to 10.5.5. I have reset the printer system, downloaded & installed the latest printer software from HP. I called HP. I called Apple.
I see the Apple website says the latest HP printer driver is 1.1.1. When I bring up Print & Fax, it says my printer driver is 2.3.1.
Does anyone know how to get back the two sided printing? Which driver version is correct? Any thing I can try?

Two-sided printing with Epson Workforce 630

I bought a new iMac a few months ago and got the Epson WorkForce 630 printer at the same time. However, I can't figure out how to do duplex (two-sided) printing. I've searched around, and it looks like this feature may not be supported for the Mac. Now, why would Apple sell a printer through their website that doesn't support Mac? This seems like a basic feature that all printers should have.
Does anyone know a work-around? The "two-sided" selection is grayed out for me.
Thanks!

Thanks! Unfortunately, on the Epson site, it says, "
Q:
Is manual duplex (double-sided) printing supported in Mac OS X with my product?
A:
No. This feature is supported in Windows only."
I really don't know why Apple would sell a printer through their stores that doesn't support all features in their OS. I might end up going back to my older printer.

My G4 w Tiger OS X won't connect to an Epson Artisan 810 All-In-One Printer

My G4 with Tiger connected via USB 1.1 to an Epson Artisan 810 Combination Copier, Printer, Scanner, and Fax won't add to the Printer List of my G4 with OSX 10.4.11. The error message is "An error occurred while trying to add the selected printer. Error: -9672 and has Epson Preferred Support stumped. Three individual techs each one building on previous attempts tracked by reference numbers end up with the same error -9672. The following are rough outlines of attempts to add the Artisan 810 to the other (hp) Inkjet 5550 printer on the Printer List for the G4.
1. Trash the com.apple.printer.plists, repair permissions, and install Printer Driver v6.61 (epson13216.dmg). Load Printer SetUp Utility, click on + (add) to show the Artisan 810 on the list to add, click on add, only to get error -9672.
2. Install instead the Drivers and Utilities Combo Package for the printer (epson13613.dmg). Same result: error -9672.
3. Trash Epson plug-ins in Library> Printer> Epson as well as Epsondriver.pkg in Receipts. Then install Printer Driver v6.61 again. No luck.
The last support tech suggested going to Apple (the Genius Bar) for help, essentially saying "it's an Apple issue".
BTW, the device checks out in a test using the copy feature. Beautiful!
Any ideas would be most welcome.
Thanks.

Hello Raymon,
I noticed you have USB 1.1 and that a
requirement for the 810 is High-Speed
USB.
PC Connection Hi-Speed USB, Ethernet 10 Base-T/100 Base-TX, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g, USB host

If you have a 10/100 Ethernet connector laying around you
can try to connect it that way.

Two-sided printing and booklets (HP D2360)

I am trying to do two-sided printing and booklets with an HP DeskJet D2360 printer. I installed on my MacBook the software I downloaded from hp.com. The printer was correctly identified even before I installed its driver.
I am trying to print web pages, ODT documents, and PDFs documents from Preview, either two-sided or as booklets. The booklet printing option appears nowhere, while the two-sided printing option is grayed-out. Both options show up and work properly under Windows XP.

1. If the form is a oure XFA form then you can control the duplex printing settings in the Master Pages. You may need to define a second Master page that has the duplex printing on for the appropriate pages.
2. Yes having a checkbox indicate a value in another field is possible but you will need script to do it. On the chanege event of the checkbox you want checked you can add code like this:
if (this.rawValue == 1){
numericFieldName.rawValue = 100.00
} else {
numericFieldName.rawValue = 0.00;

HP Deskjet 970cxi two sided printing

I've got an HP Deskjet 970cxi printer connected to a print server on my LAN.
I'm able to print to it from Leopard with no problems. Just works with the Leopard "HP Deskjet 970C - Gutenprint v5.1.3 drivers".
However, I can't figure out how to enable the duplex unit in the Leopard drivers.
When I goto the layout settings in the printer driver the "two sided" printing option is grey out.
How can I tell the drivers that I have a duplex unit to enable this option?
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Steve

I have the same printer connected to a D-Link DP-300U print server. I get full access to the printer's settings, including duplex and photo settings, by using the HPIJS driver, which is an open source driver put out by HP. You can find a link to the OS X version of the driver at:

Good luck.
