How do I print to both sides of paper for greeting card on Brother Printer

I did not find the answer on the forum. I have iLife 09 and this Brother MFC-790CW printer. I do not see any automatic setting for printing on both sides. I am using a iPhoto greeting card template and it looks OK with a page one for the front and a page two for the back.
Maybe the only way is to print out all the fronts pages (20) and then put the paper back in and print all the pages 2 (the text inside of the card). That seems like it would be faster than other ways, except automatic.
Obviously I should have done this a month ago and sent the project to Apple, but now I have no more time. Ii have the right paper for the one fold cards and plenty of ink

You need to have an image editor that supports layers. If you do follow the directions in these tutorials:
#8 - Printing a iPhoto Greeting Card
#8a - Printing a iPhoto Greeting Card to Standard Stock Sizes
Here are some editors that support layers:
Some Image Editors that support layers:
Photoshop Elements 8 for Mac - $79
GraphicConverter - $45
Rainbow Painter - $30
Acorn - $50
Pixelmator - $60
Seashore - Free
Portraits and Prints - Free
GIMP for Mac - Free
You might be able to use Pages instead of an image editor.

HP officejet 4630 won't print on both sides of paper

Cannot print on both sides of paper. The backsideprints first, then wait for ink to dry, front side starts to print then stops with a windows error message popping up on screen saying cannot print document.
I have found that I cannot print multiple pages either. For example, I decided to print the 4 page document as single pages only (since double sided wouldn't work) and the results were first page prints second page prints about a third and then all stop with error message that printer cannot print the pdf document. so I had to select each page seperately to finnally get all four pages printed. HP print and scan diagnostics says theres is no problem. Windows diagnostics says there is no problem.
Obviously there is a problem can any one offer advice and solution?
Thanks

Hello Kimoho,
Could you please check to Duplexer unit seem installed on printer properties and in the printing preferences section is it selected to print on both side.
If its not seem installed, adjust to it installed and try again.

How to print on both sides of paper

I have HP 3050A wireless printer. How to print on both sides of paper

This printer does not do auto duplexing. The only way to print on both sides of the page is to print one side, put the paper back in manually, and then print the next page. If you have something say 10 pages long, you can also print only odd pages, then only even pages tospeed it up.

'Print on both sides of paper' in Adobe Reader 10.1.2 + DFS shares....

Hello
After the latest update a new print dialog is available which includes the option to 'Print on both sides of the paper'. Our printer (available via a print server in a Windows domain environment), is capable of printing duplexed copies of documents but is configured to default to not use duplex. When the option to do this from the Adobe Reader print dialog is selected the printer driver overides it and the document is printed normally (not duplexed).
Is there a way to hide this option? We often need to print duplexed copies of documents but usually set it in the print driver when it is needed. Because the option is being overidden it has the potential to create an enormous amount of wasted paper and toner and will increase our printing costs.
Also, when V10 was released, trying to open pdf's located in DFS share paths caused the program to hang. The solution was to disable protected mode. I tried enabling protected mode after this update (and previous updates), and restarted the application but instead of hanging, Adobe Reader now displays a message box stating:
There was an error opening this document. Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service.
If I disable protected mode and restart Adobe Reader the document can be opened.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi, Shatik
Thanks for replying.
The DFS shares are mapped as a network drive. This is done just once using a batch file that uses the persistent switch. No roaming profiles, no username\application data path.
Since posting this I can now access PDF's, but many of our staff are now unable to scroll through an entire pdf without Adobe Reader hanging. Again, removing the checkmark in the protected mode option allows full scrolling of a pdf.
Disabling/enabling antivirus real-time scanning makes no difference.

Hi,
Based on the following link, under "Paper-handling specifications", it does not have a duplexer:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?prodSeriesId=4322968&objectID=c0305889...
It can't print both sided (or duplex) automatically.

PRINTING ON both side

i want to know how can i printing in both side of paper in laserjet prinet ?about printer settings not windows settingthank you

Please read this post then provide some details. What operating system?

HP Color Laserjet 2550n has no more printing on both sides

In 2005, I bought an HP Color Laserjet 2550n to go with my laptop. I had no printer problems. I loved the feature where I could print a document on both sides of the paper. The option would show up on the properties menu on the print document dialog window.
Over the past summer, I lost my laptop to a crash and had to get a new laptop using Windows Vista OS. I hooked up the printer using the USB port and all seemed good until I tried to print on both sides. In the properties menu of the printing dialog box, the option has disappeared completely! I tried updating the drivers - didn't fix it. I tried reinstalling the software that came with the printer, but Windows Vista OS wouldn't accept it. Help! I don't know what else to do. I appreciate any help.
I have also tried Bob_Headrick's advice on Vista Duplex Printing Troubleshooting Guide for "No option for two-sided printing." The option appeared in the properties menu, but the printer still did not print properly.

Sorry guys................I answered my own question.
I went into the HP P2015 user guide & found the answer. on page 32.
I went into printer properties, device settings, noticed that duplex unit for printing on both sides was showing as "not installed". I changed this to "installed", and it worked.

HP Officejet Pro K5400 - will NOT print on both sides

I recently built a new computer and everything is working great, EXCEPT one thing...when trying to print on both sides using Google Chrome, Microsoft Word, or another program it gives me the error message below. My previous computer had Windows 7 installed as well and my HP Officejet Pro K5400 had no problems printing on both sides of the paper. I tried using the Starter CD that came with my printer, but unfortunately since it wasn't for Windows 7 (only for Windows XP and Windows Vista) it will not install it. I also went to HP's website to downloaded the latest drivers. I was able to download them, but it hasn't fixed my problem. By the way, I do have a duplex unit on my prtiner (in case you're wondering). I'm not sure if my duplex unit still works, or if it's something else. If there are any solutions that you can give to fix this problem, I would be very appreciative. The error message is below:
Automatic Two-Sided Printing Module Missing
The document has been configured to print using the Automatic Two-Sided Printing Module but the module is not installed in the device.
The document will be printed one-sided.

Hi,
First remove and re-0attach the duplex accessory at the bak of the printer to enure it is well seated:
http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c00845167/
Next ensure the duplex unit is set as installed within the print driver by entering the Control Panel > Devices and Printers.
Right click the printer icon, then click Printer Properties.
Click the Device Settings tab.
Set the Automatic Two-Sided Duplex Accessory as installed and click OK to save the change.
Now try printing on both sides and check for any difference.

Printing on 2 sides of paper

Where in Windows 8 can I tell the printer to print on both sides of paper?

Hi,
Well, it depends on your printer. Does your printer support duplex printing automatically ? If yes, you need the right driver. What is it ?
Regards.

How do I reset it to print on only one side

Hi @Wineroth
I can help you disable the duplex printing feature. I suggest resetting the printing system to delete all printer presets. I suspect something was saved at some point that is causing the printer to print 2 sided.
OS X Yosemite: Reset the printing system

If it has that available, when the Print Dialog comes up, click on Copies & Pages, choose Layout, look for 2 sided printing... some Printer Drivers may have it under abother heading.
