Hi,
Please follow the steps below in order to automatically print two-sided print jobs:
1. Verify the duplex-printing accessory has been installed properly. To verify this open the System Preferences and go to Print & Fax. Open the print queue of your printer. Click on Printer Setup and from the tab menu choose Driver. Verify the box next to HP Two-sided Printing Accessory (Duplexer) is checked.
2. On the File menu, select Print. The Print window appears.
NOTE: The Print window might be minimized. Click Show details to see all available settings.
Note: If you use Adobe Reader, click teh button to launc the system print dialog.
3. In the expanded Print window you will find next to Copies the checkbox for Two-Sided. Check the box.
NOTE: If the checkbox does not appear within the specific application print dialog, skip this step.
4. To select the binding type click the lowest selection box listed as the name of the program (e.g. TextEdit)
Will appear as Copies & Pages within Microsoft Office applications.
5. Select Layout from the drop-down menu.
6. Set the Two-Sided option as Long-Edge binding (Portrait), or Long-Edge binding (landscape).
You may save the settings for future use by clicking Presets > Save Current Settings as Preset... Any used preset will remain default till another preset will be used.

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?

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.

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.

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.

Is there a Dock Icon that was created for your Printer? If so, open it and look at the list to be printed and delete the extras.
If not, you did not get that far, so no 15 copies for you!

OfficeJet 4500 will not print two sided over network

I'm running on Windows 7 with an OfficeJet 4500 G510n-z over WiFi. Printer works great except that it will not print two sided. We've used a non-WiFi 4500 to print two sided before. With the new printer the first pages print and the pop-up shows on the laptop (prompt to flip paper over) but nothing happens. The second pages never print.
I've run all of the HP print and network diagnostics. Everything appears to be OK.

The solution below was found on the sticky post at the top of this board "Fixes and Workarounds from HP"
I think the patch below only applies if you have the original printer software installed, I assume this issue was fixed in later versions of the printer software, Read the patch information carefully.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-69847-2&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&...
This Print Driver Update contains improvements for issues related to the following applications and/or print functionality:
     Microsoft Office 2007
     Duplex printing via network
     Printing from Intuit applications
     Print margin accuracy
     Thai language font

Officejet 7310xi does not print two-sided automatically after installing Windows 8.1

When I first purchased my Officejet 7310xi and installed it on my Windows XP desktop PC it worked fine printing two-sided documents automatically. I recently purchased a new desktop PC with Windows 8 and upgraded it to Windows 8.1 and downloaded and installed the Officejet software drivers from the HP download site. But now the printer will not print two-sided documents AUTOMATICALLY -- when this option is selected, I get a pop-up screen telling me to remove the documents from the out tray, turn them around, and reinsert them in the feed bin, i.e., it acts as if I requested two-sided MANUAL printing.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi,
Make sure the Automatic Duplexing option is enabled:
Enter 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 Automatic Duplexing should become available.

How can I print two sided? Linux, Epson 845

The "print two sided" box is greyed out. I am running Linux on an Epson Workforce 845. I have no problem on a Windows 7 machine.

IMO, it's always a good idea to refer to
[http://www.openprinting.org/printers/]
and check if you really have the recommended driver installed. (But since you have Mint/Ubuntu/Debian it's as easy as installing epson-inkjet-printer-escpr, providing you any EPSON workforce... driver, directly in your package manager/software centre, then go to printers > install new.)
BTW, Epson drivers are quite good; almost impossible that your Epson doesn't print "two-sided".

Can't print correctly by using Adobe Reader 9.1.2

The following code in OCX is being used in my web application to print PDF directly with Adobe Reader 5.1, and it works fine!
When Adobe Reader is upgraded to 9.1.2, it no longer works. Printouts often cannot be printed correctly. However, when I add the code in red, the printouts can be printed correctly again.
Anyway, I don't want Open and Close Adobe Reader during direct printing.
Anyone knows why FilePrintSilent doesn't work? and how to solve it?
Thanks in advance!

We have PDF documents stored on server-side, the ActiveX control and Adobe Reader are installed on client-side.
When users open our web page, click our "Print weekly report directly" button, the ActiveX control on client will be called, and perform the above coding. It tries to download the PDF document from server to client, and pass it to the printer on client silently by using FilePrintSilent function.
The report can be printed, but not correct. It involves some unexpected characters which should be English or Traditional Chinese originally, as shown in the attached picture.
Thanks in advance!

Can I download two versions of Adobe Reader on my machine?

I need both versions 9 and XI for work-related projects. Is there a way to keep both downloaded on my machine and then pick which version to use to open PDFs? I am frustrated that I have to keep re-downloading the versions I need. Please advise best way to go about this. Thank you!

Hello,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
You can have Adobe Reader 9 and Adobe Reader XI downloaded on your machine. (You can keep setup.exe files) but you can't use 2 versions of Adobe reader on your computer as newer version removes the older version.
Thanks,
Vikram

How can I copy a file from adobe reader to my contacts

you can't access the ios devices filesystem directly and they can't access something like an external harddisk themselvs

How can I print two-sided with Mountain Lion and an Epson WF-2540?

I just purchased an Epson WF-2540 printer with two-sided printing capabilities. The manual includes easy to follow instructions on doing this with a PC. However, it doesn't seem to be present in OSX Mountain Lion (10.8.4). I have looked all over for the answer, but nothing helps with this specific problem. It seems like, before Mountain Lion, there was a simple check-box within system preferences>print and fax>options and supplies>drivers that said "duplexer." Now, that option is not present. I would love to be able to use this function on my new printer. Thanks for all of your help!

I have the answer ...
The Epson WF-2540 does not appear to be a two-sided printer!
Reference this article:
http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/jsp/Product.do?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&sku=C11CC36 201
The following is extracted from that article:
There is no reference anywhere in what I've shown or the rest of the article to two-sided printing.
Compare that to my Epson Workforce 645, which is a two sided printer. Here's what it says in the Epson writeup:
... and indeed my options under the Layout dropdown menu look a lot different from yours, and from there I can choose two sided (whether I've attached as AirPrint or not, by the way).

How can I print my document from Adobe?

I have just upgraded from XPS to Windows 8 and I have documents in Adobe PDF, how can I get Adobe to respond to my print command?

This is not the right forum for this issue. This forum is for Adobe Reader issues on Apple mobile devices like iPad/iPhones.

I can't print two-sided with my macbook air. i've tried to look for the driver in the settings of printer and faxes but there is none, my printer is able to print for that kind of option. please help

Canon MP280 Series

When you select print you should see a menu option labeled Printer Settings (or Printer Options). This may be hidden in 2 different ways. First, the program may have minimized the print dialog box. Look for a button labeled Show Details. If you see it you'll need to click on the button to see all the printer options that are available. Having done this you'll see more options. Typically you'd look for the Printer Settings under a popup menu labeled Layout but sometimes something else is showing. For example, below you'll see that Safari hides it under Safari.

Illustrations greyed-out when printing PDF file from Adobe Reader

Hello,
From within PageMaker 7 I've made a 52-page PDF document in Distiller (selected job option is for Print) and uploaded it to my website. It contains many greyscale illustrations (TIFs and JPGs first imported into PageMaker), and text. I am able to view the PDF file over the net, and can print the illustrations and text on each page with no problem. I am using an old HP laser printer (LaserJet 5L). Other users are able to view the same PDF document on the net, and they can see all the illustrations and text on every page. However, some users who have tested it are reporting that when they try to print out the pages on their own printers, most of the illustrations are greyed-out between pages 3 and 51. The text is printing correctly on their printers. The images on the front and back cover are printing, and so is an 11-page comic strip (made up entirely of 11 TIFs, with no additional text). Can anyone work out why all the other illustrations throughout the document are printing greyed-out on their printers?
Thanks
Roger3

I am replying to my own question.
After posting here, I received feedback from a viewer that the PDF file is downloading and printing out pages with no greying-out of the illustrations. It looks to me as though the problems are arising from other viewers' slow internet connections and/or hardware RAM for printing, especially if trying to print all pages at once, rather than Saving As to hard drive, then printing.
Thanks,
Roger3
