Flipped even-numbered pages when printing double-sided from Preview

My HP 2015dn printer has the ability to print double-sided. Yet I'm finding that when printing from Preview, the even-numbered pages are flipped 180 degrees. I can see the rationale for this, but I'd like to disable it and have the orientation the same for both odd- and even-numbered pages. There is a setting in the print dialog to "automatically rotate each page," but that is not what I want.
Any ideas?

That fixed it. The pdfs were rotated so that they would appear in landscape orientation on my screen (they're originally photocopies of side-by-side book pages). Well, now I understand the difference between short-edge and long-edge binding! Thanks for your help.

Hi there blbarbina,
Could you provide the community with a little more information to help narrow troubleshooting? Does this happen in only one application, if so what application? Is this a booklet style document?

When printing two-sided from my Mac on landscape A4 with 2 columns, how can I get my HP Photosmart 6520 to print the same way up?

Or, it is set the other way around (which makes more sense). Even though you are in Landscape mode, it is binding on the Long Side of the paper. Since you are in Landscape, you would want it to bind on the short side.
Think of the Binding like a Book. How would you flip the finished pages to read the “book.” Where it would be bound in the imaginary book is how you want it to print.

Cannot print double-sided from Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.1.2

Cannot print double-sided from Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.1.2
Problem limited to Adobe Acrobat, MS Office 2008, Pages, Keynote.
Can print double-sided from Safari and Mac Mail
Using HP Color LaserJet 2605dtn. Have downloaded most recent driver from HP
Computer: Apple MacPro Tower, 6GB 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM, Quad-Core Intel Xeon, Processor speed = 3.2 GHz

Correct way to install new driver is go to Printer Utility and delete That printer from the list.
Then install the new driver.
Then go back to Printer Utility and add the new driver Back
Then go to systems preferences and to Print Fax (or Printer if no longer setup for fax) and set up for the the printer and set as default.
This way you shouldn't have to go into either print menu or Page setup menu and set for desired printer.
most hp printer in the pint menu you click copies and pages and mouse down to two sided pages you choose either book (facing pages) or Tablet (printed as you would a Tablet that's bound at the top.
you need to test a two page document to see which does correctly for you. Its best never to have the application set for two sided. in fact if you have set for two sided in both one counter acts the the other.
So set it only in the printer menu and no where else.
Also once you set up you can save printer profiles that you can go back to click on the Presets button mouse down to very bottom save with a anme you can remember even put the words two-sided in title then save. Then you can go to that preset and print your heart out.

This function is related to the printer driver and the printer you use. If you do not give details, nobody can suggest a solution. Usually, the correct driver solves the issue.

How to print double sided from my Mac to my Canon MG6350

I have looked up everywhere on the internet and youtube of how to print double sided from my Mac Book Pro. I am using OSX 10.8.5.
All of the dicussions I have looked up before have told me to go to System Preferences>Print & Scan>Options & Supplies> Driver and then tick the little box that comes up and it will allow you to print double sided. I have tried doing this but THERE IS NO DRIVER TAB!!!
I was just wondering if there was a solution to this as I can print double sided from my other appliences, like the PC and iPad, it is just my Mac Book Pro that doesn't work.
It has become a big problem for me as I'm studying at college and I need to print things double sided quite regularly. I really need this to work.

The print dialog has several drop-down menus, one of which initially shows the name of the application you're printing from. If the printer supports duplex, you can choose
Duplex Printing & Margin
from that menu. You should then see a checkbox marked
Automatic Duplex Printing

1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
How much free space on it now?

When printing double sided, font is not clear on second side

Hi there, when I print double sided the printing on the back of the first page and the backs of all the pages come out blurred. I can make out the printing but I have to strain to read it. Is there anything I can do so that when I print double sided, the printing on the back of the page is a clear as it is on the front of the page? This only happens during double sided printing, the printing on the front of the page or if I am printing single sided is clear and readable.

Hi @anjema
I have truthfully never heard of an issue like this before, but I'd certainly be happy to help. I wonder if the issue has something to do with how the paper is being pulled through the duplexer, perhaps cleaning the rollers might help.
Please use the following document for helpful instructions to clean the rollers; A 'Paper Jam' Error Displays on the HP Photosmart 7510 e-All-in-One Printer Series. I know the issue is not a 'paper jam', but the steps in Solution 4 are cleaning the rollers
I hope this helps.

Extra margins when printing double sided

I'm using Word 2007 and have created recipe cards using a basic recipe templete in Word. I have the top margin set to .25 and I'm printing on a regular 8x11 piece of card stock (I want to simply cut the sides and bottom down to make a 4x6 index card).
However, the margin is printing at almost .75 when I print double sided. Any help would greatly appreciated! I've been working on this problem for two days and I bought the printer to print both sides.
Thanks!

Did you ever figure this out? Because my C309g changes my margins when I print double sided, and I can't find any info on it anywhere...!

Printing double-sided copies

I use a 2012 Macbook and use the USB cord to print to my HP P1102w. I updated my macbook to the new OSX 10.9 (Maverick), and I see in previous discussions that there is no longer a pop-up window prompting the user to reinsert the paper into the tray for manual two-sided printing. I opened the toner cover and closed it again, according to the directions given in the forum, and it does work. However, when 20 of the 40 pages printed, the stack had page 40 on top and then even numbers all the way down. My question is, how do I insert those pages back into the tray so that the correct numbers appear on the back of the appropriate pages? In other words, how do I load the printed pages so that page 2 is on the back of page 1, page 4 on 3, etc.?

Hi @Scooch,
I see by your post that you would like to know how to flip the pages, when printing two-sided. I would like to help you out
today.
Take the printed stack from the output bin and then insert the stack printed side down into the tray
with the top edge feeding into the product first.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

Can't print double sided in Windows 7 & Officejet J6450

I am running windows 7 Home Premium
I am using Microsoft word 2010
I have an Officejet J6450 All-in-One
When I try to print double sided from within word, It prints the last page of the document, retrieves the paper, turns it over, spits it out and quits.
This is regardless of the number of pages in the document.
It is set to print all pages.
Any ideas?

As best I can tell, this printer does not have automatic duplex printing available. You need to print the even pages, turn them upside down and reinsert them and print the odd pages, using Paper Handling in the Print dialog. You may need to print in reverse order when printing the even pages, as I recall. It has been a while since I had a printer without automatic duplexing. It is a feature which I insist upon.

How to print double sided on Canon MG5400 series?

I have tried to tick the duplex option under the printer driver tab but this only prevents the document from being printed! I am trying to print double sided from my mac mini... I am currently using a printer cable as I have no network available; when I printed using my ipad and the wifi facility, double sided printing wasn't an issue...

My first thought would be it isn't do to whether you are using cable or wifi to connect. ... Could be on though.
Have you looked on the internet site & seen if there is a more recent driver? wag.

Printing PDF brochure from Preview and only graphics print, no text

Spent 30 minutes on the phone with Lexmark. They said with Windows, you would select "Print as Image" under the advanced printing dialogue. I don't see anything like this in MacOS. If I save the PDF as a PNG, then open the PNG in Preview, it prints fine.

I also had this "no text"-problem with a Lexmark C530dn when printing some PDFs from Preview on 10.5.2. The problematic PDFs all were datasheets and papers I downloaded from sources like SAP. I installed the newest version (2.0) of the C530 printer driver, but it did not help.
Using "Generic Postscript Printer" works, but I loose duplex printing, for example. But printing the documents from Adobe Reader 8.1.2 works, too, and I can use the Lexmark driver and have duplex printing etc.

Printing double sided by page count

I need to print a large amount of pdf files. Within each file, contains statements for our clients. The boss has requested that these be printed front and back. The problem is that client’s statements are different page amounts some have 2 pages, other have 3,4,5,6, or even 7 pages. If I choose to print double sided and there is a client with 3 pages, the next client's first page will print on the back of my first client’s second page. If my statements are numbered 1of2, 1of3, 2of3, 3of3 etc.. Is there a script or way to have adobe print the way I am requesting? I have Adobe Reader X on Windows 7 or Windows XP. Thanks in Advance!!

Not quite...Let me give you an example. I have 100 companies, so I have 100 files. Within each company, each employee has a statement that I need to print. When I open up the company file (File 1) there could be any number of employees. And each employee has a statement however the there are multiple statements/employees within company/file 1. So "employee "A" has a 3 page statement that has a page count 1of3, 2of3, and 3of3. ( i will eventually mail his statement to him and i want to mail him 2 pages the first page will be front and back, page 1of3 and 2of3, the second page will be page 3of3 on the front and blank on the back because there is nothing else to his statement) If I print the entire file front/back the next "employee B" first page will end up on my "employee A's" last page. I guess i want Adobe to know once its gets to a page 3of3 or 4of4 or 5of 5 (the end of a employee's statement) etc.... that it should in a sense start a new print job. I hope that makes sense..and again thanks in advance your help is greatly apprectiated.
