I need to set up my color printer for blackink printing on both sides as default

Printer: HP Officejet Pro 8500

Sorry, that setting isn't one that Firefox saves for use in the future. See HP support for help with that.

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.

I need to set up an apple ID for my IPAD but my daughter was already using my email address for her itunes

I need to set up an apple id for my IPad but my daughter is using my email address to purchase music for her IPOD and IPhone. How can she delete her apple ID so that I can use my own email account?

Try getting a credit card from the same people who issued the debit card. If I read the home sharing paper properly after your set it up with the credit card you can change the payment method back to debit.

Two different things
If you forgot the password
If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
If the email ID you want to use is in use by someone else - then you may need a new one
The iCloud ID's are usually unique and may be of help if you set one up

I just got my daughter a new macbook pro. She currently shares my wires apple id for iTunes on her iTouch. I need to set up an email account for her. Is there any way to set up a new iCloud email account but still use my wires apple id for iTunes?

No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.

Adobe Reader 11.0.07 defaults to duplex printing. Is there a way to set the default to leave that "print to both sides of the page" box unchecked?

Adobe Reader 11.0.07 defaults to duplex printing. Is there a way to set the default to leave that "print to both sides of the page" box unchecked?
I am working on an end-user's computer, I just updated to the newest Adobe Reader and they don't ever print duplex. I want to be able to have the "print to both sides" box unchecked on the print dialog by default. Is there a way to do this? I have the printer settings all set to 1-sided but it is adobe print dialog settings that keep messing it up.
Thanks!

Hi John,
Have you tried repairing Reader and checked?
Does this issue occur only on this machine or are you facing the issue with other computers as well which have updated to Reader 11.0.10?

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.

'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.

Print on both sides

Hi, why can't I figure out how to print on both sides, using one document?

Double-sided printing is a function of the printer driver if your printer supports double-sided printing. If your printer, like mine, only prints one side at a time, you can use the Paper Handling in the Print dialog box using Tiger. Click on the drop-down menu that says Copies & Pages & select Paper Handling then Page Order: Reverse & Print: Even numbered pages. For the second side, leave Page Order: Automatic & set Print: Odd numbered pages. If you use a printer that has a separate manual feed tray, you will need to change to that tray by selecting Paper Feed from the Copies & Pages drop-down & select the tray you will use. Whether the pages will need to be face up or face down & which edge should be fed first will vary depending on your printer.

HP LaserJet 2300dn Not Printing On Both Sides Anymore?

Hi,After upgrading to Windows 8.1 64Bit my laserjet has lost the abilty to print on both sides of the paper automatically. I assume it's something to do with the driver but am not sure.I have tried downloading different drivers from the support page but I don't know which one I'm suppose to be using and whatever I do doesn't seem to work. Anyone who can suggest a solution, I would be most grateful. Thanks In Advance DiGiTiSeD

Ensure that the driver knows that a duplex unit is present on the printer (assuming that one is): For the printer instance in question, bring up the Printer properties dialogue.Select the Device settings tab.Ensure that the duplex unit is set to Installed rather than Not installed.You'll probably need to be logged in with administrator credentials in order to change the device settings.

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.

Our HP laserjet , model P2050 , does not print on both sides even though the " auto rotate " box is

checked. Is there someway to cause the printer to print on both sides? ( There is another printer box that comes up in other instances and it has a "Preferance" box which , when clicked on, gives a different way to choose two-sided printing, and that one works to cause the printer to do as wanted.)
The box that shows " auto rotate' doesn't have a print preview.

I have a laserjet 2200 dse. How do I get the option to print on both sides of a page?cc=US

I recently had my computers wiped clean. Prior to that, when I attempted to print, and clicked on Properties, I would chose the Finishing tab and be able to print on both sides of the paper. Now, the Finishing tab does not appear when I click on properties. What do I need to do to get those options back?

I hope you are having a great da and sorry to hear that we are having this issue
Bear in mind your HP laserjet 2200dseThis is a commercial product. I suggest posting in the forum for HP Business Support for a better chance at finding a prompt solution.

I just received my iMac and was trying to print on both sides using my hp D2400. But, on the option page, it won't let me choose "Print on both sides". Why? How do I fix it? Thanks!!

Print issue: "Print on both sides..." checkbox not present in V10.1.2 under Win XP SP3

Since upgrading to Adobe Reader 10.1.2 (wish I never had), my "Print on both sides" option is evidently ON (by default), but I cannot turn it off because the check box to do so is not present in the Print dialog:
The checkbox should be underneath the "Choose papre source" box, but it's not. Hence the advice in http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/928/cpsid_92870.html is useless. I have done a Control Panel > Programs > Change/repair, still the same problem. Also have tried Adobe Reader > Edit > Preferences > General > uncheck "Enable protected mode at start-up" (suggested in another thread), problem persists. (Re-enabled Protected mode).
Using Win XP Pro SP3.
This is a real pain....every print job brings the dreaded "Print on both sides instructions", with wasted paper, prompting each page to print manually, etc. I have seen this scenario reported by others...Adobe, please fix this!

Hi Johann,
You printer driver doesn's support duplex printing, because of which you are not able to see that checkbox.
You can try the following to disable duplex printing through registry:
1. Go to : Start-> Run-> type Regedit-> click OK.
2. It open registry editior. Locate the registry:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\AVGeneral]
3. Find the existing DWORD value which is named :
"iDuplexMode"=dword:00000001".
Set the value either as:
1 = no duplex
0 (or key does not exist) = duplex

I need to set up my color printer for blackink printing on both sides as default
