How print simplex on duplex printer P2055DN

How do I force simplex (one side printed) printing on my duplex (double sided printing) P2055DN lasterjet printer?
It seems like it is always printing duplex without being able to requst single sided printing.
I use FinePrint as an intermediate print viewer and then decide how to print the document. FinePrint is a great tool!

Select the photos and print - select teh print size and paper size so the two will fit on the page with small borders -if the preview does not show two photos then click customize and in the setting select multiple photos per page - the preview will reflect this chice - and print

How do I get duplex printing with MS Office on HP 1320n

Hi
I have an iMac running Snow Leopard. I have Office for Mac 2010 installed. I use an HP1320n Laser printer
If I print an email, or a pdf, the print dialog options show a tick box for me to choose two sided printing - and this works fine
But if I print from within Word or Excel, I get a different (simpler) print dialog box that does not show the duplex printing option
I have looked into the Prefernces settings in Word and Excel under the Printing section, but cannot see any option to chaneg there relating to duplex
Can anyone help please?
Thanks

Thank you sanjampet
Yes that works, and solves my problem.
Srage that you cannot get the default print dialog box when printing from Word or Excel for Mac to show the full range of printer options as default, like the standard Mac one does - Oh well Thanks Mr gates

HP Officejet Pro 8500A Premium e-All-in-One Printer - A910n and duplex printing.

on the product page where I went to buy the printer it says that this printer can do duplex legal, the info below is from the product page under specs. The problem is that I can printer duplex on legal size paper. Why and how I can fix that, because the reason I bought this printer is that it can do duplex: legal.
Supported paper sizes
Tray: Tray 1: Letter, legal, statement, executive, 3 x 5 in, 4 x 6 in, 5 x 7 in, 5 x 8 in, 4 x 10 in, 4 x 11 in, 4 x 12 in, 8 x 10 in, envelopes (No. 10, Monarch, DL)
Duplexer: Letter; legal; executive

Hi,
Wow... Could you provide me a link to the site where you found the information on the "legal duplexor"? I found this information on the A910n product page ... product specifications. I found that it doesn't support the legal duplexing.
Here is the link to the document:
Product Specs
You will want to expand the section supported paper sizes, and look at the table for legal. There isn't a check mark for duplexing.
How long have you had the product?

Brother Printer won't duplex print A4

Hi
I have a Brother laser printer HL-5150D printing from a 20" iMac using OSX 10.5.4 that has stopped printing duplex but apparently only when trying to print to A4 paper size. As A4 is my default size this is a problem for me.
If I set the paper size as US Letter in the print dialogue box the printer will duplex however the print area is reduced by about 15 - 20% which even when printing on actual A4 paper leaves a very large 3 - 4 cm empty border around the print area.
Any body have any ideas on how to get duplex printing on to A4 paper size without going through the US Letter route and ending up with a reduced size print image?

I just took a picture of my print layout, this should help - I hope.
This is the set-up under Leopard, which I now realize you are not running - in Tiger, under Pages etc. go to the bottom where it says Summary,open that, then click on the triangle next to Layout, and it will give you the option of two sided printing.

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

Lexmark X4550 Double Printing/Two Sided/Duplex Printing Greyed Out

Hey all,
Been just over a week since I got my new MBP and while I can print wirelessly to my Lexmark printer, I can't get double sided printing to work - it's greyed out and unselectable.
I've tried various help pages on Lexmark's website, I've got the latest drivers for Leopard but it hasn't helped - as for Lexmark's support...pfft! I think they're all sleeping at work; phones are never answered.
It seems many people are experiencing the same on all various printer brands and someone had given a HP solution download but obviously it won't sort this LM printer out!
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Just another idea... Could it be that the option is greyed out because the printer doesn't have an automatic duplexer?
What I mean is that even when printing double sided from Windows, it would print a page and then I'd have to re-feed the page - so it's like manual double sided printing.
If so, is there an option somewhere else for manual duplex?

Duplex report problem - report states duplex but prints simplex

The report states to run as duplex. The printer is a duplex printer but by default set to be simplex. Other prints such as Word work as duplex.
I have tried to save the report with the printer settings as duplex but this has to be saved as a custom type and I presume the default is loaded when the report is run.
Does anybody have any idea how I can associate the report with the custom printer setup or another resolution to this problem?

CR uses the default printer settings. Depends on the version of CR though as to what can and can't be used. Most don't have an option for that mode though.

New Brother 52050DN printer. Can't figure out how to duplex print

I just got a Brother 5250DN printer. It says it's capable of duplex printing on PCs and Macs. I've installed all the latest drivers and still can't find anything that says duplex printing. The included docs only tell how to set up duplex printing on Windows XP.
Thx

How do I configure a printer to use duplex all the time

As with most companies, ours is on a push to go greener. The IP department has decided that one thing that can be done is to encourage the use of duplex printers. We have one, but from the Mac you must go in and specifically select printing on both sides somewhere in the print screen for each app. Is there a way in the setup of the printer to make duplex printing the default?

Try using the web interface to the printing system. Go to http://127.0.0.1:631/printers/ and click on your printer. Use the Administration pop up menu and select Set Default Options. Find the section that contains the Duplex option, turn it on or specify whether you want long or short edge binding. When you save the changes, you will have to enter your administrator's username and password.

Manual duplex printing doesn't work for LaserJet 100 color MFP M175a

Hi !
OS Windows 8.1. Printer LaserJet 100 color MFP M175a. Driver version 61.108.8.10073 date 2011 Apr 13th
1. After switching on checkbox "Print on Both Sides (Manually)" on "Finishing" tab of Print Properties Dialog and
start printing, dialog with instruction how to turn paper appears. Then printer must print odd pages, stop for
turning paper and then continue printing of even pages on the back side of paper sheets. But my device prints
all pages sequentually in order 1,2,3,... without any breaks. What is it- my mistake or possible bug in driver ?
2. Windows API function DeviceCapabilities with fwCapability=DC_DUPLEX for this printer returns 0 (duplex printing
impossible). This value for any other HP printer, even without automatic duplexer, always equel to 1.
This question was solved.

Can't do duplex printing!

I'm in an office with four iMacs running OS X Leopard v10.5.8.
We're all using CS4 Acrobat 9 Pro v9.4.6 (which Check For Updates tells me is up-to-date).
We're printing to a networked Xerox Phaser 6180DN.
And we can't print anything in two-sided duplex from Acrobat Pro.
We can print in duplex from every other application on the iMacs (including other CS4 apps) without problem.
But I need to be able to print non-CS PDF files in duplex.
I've done Google searches and searches within Adobe Help.
I've found the File>Properties>Advanced>Duplex Flip Long Edge
This doesn't make any difference.
Please don't tell me to upgrade to CS5 or Acrobat X Pro ... that's out of my hands.
Please do tell me how I can enable duplex printing from Acrobat 9 Pro!

Guys ... I've been using Macs and Adobe products since the late 80s.
I still have a copy of Illustrator 88 (the original one) sitting on a ZIP disc somewhere.
I do have a clue on using these applications.
That's why problems like this are so frustrating. It should simply work ... and it doesn't!
And Yes ... both are set to double sided printing and No it doesn't print doubled sided:
1. File>Properties>Advanced>Duplex Mode is set to: Duplex Flip Long Edge
2. In the Layout pane in the Print window, Two Sided is set to Long Edge Binding
And all the pages are printed one one side of the paper.
Further, we went the long way around and tried to print the catalog directly from the source InDesign file, which takes fricking forever.
Even more annoying was that some of the pages were printed double sided and some of the pages were printed single sided.
Now, I can pull up large documents in Microsoft Word 2008 Mac (which I HATE - I use Apple Pages at home) and just click Two Sided from Off to Long Edge Binding ... and I get a perfect (well almost) double sided print.
Now what?????

HP LaserJet Pro M1212nf MFP Printer Duplex Printing Driver

Hello,
I'm consdering about buying HP Laser Jet Pro M1212nf MFP Printer.
I feel like it's the printer that has all the specs that I need.... Except for automatic duplex printing.
Automatic duplex printing is super important to me and I'm sad that the M1212nf does not provide it.
However, I did see that it has duplex printing driver support.
I was wondering what this driver support is (I've been spending hours on the web trying to get a definition but nothing!)
and if it will work on a Mac, I saw couple threads that said that some HP printers don't offer duplex printing driver support for mac computers.
So basilally, I'm wondering how the duplex printing will work if I install the driver support.
Thanks.

Good health! I wanted to download drivers for hp laserjet m1212nf mfp. Does not work, can you help me where to download or buy the drivers, I have lost the native disk driver, now cannot install the printer! thank you! if the error my message I will forgive apologize in advance

Automatic Duplex Printing not working on HP Color LaserJet 3600DN in Windows 7. It worked before.

I have an HP color laserjet 3600 DN on Windows 7. This computer came w/ Windows Vista and a 3600DN driver was installed and the computer was upgraded to Windows 7. The printer did automatic duplex printing.
At one point, my computer indicated that it could no longer find the printer. In an effort to solve this problem, I uninstalled the printer. When I tried to reinstall the printer the computer could not find the driver. At that point I tried to download a windows 7 CLJ 3600 DN driver. Since HP doesn't provide this driver for Windows 7, I tried to download the Windows Vista driver for 3600DN.
However, when I go to the appropriate webpage by following the links, only drivers for Color Laserjet 3600 are listed (no 3600DN drivers).
As far we can tell it only allows Manual Duplex printing (no automatic duplex printing). Clicking the "Two Sided Duplex Printing" option is there but only works when the "print on both sides (Manual)" is set on the Finishing page. If manual is turned off, then it becomes single sided.
Can I get a driver that will allow me to do automatic duplex printing on on my HP CLJ 3600 DN using Windows 7?

How did you replave the duplex belt? How to deassemble the backside of a officejet and click the new belt on? I can't see nor do it y self
