Mac photosmart 5514 double sided / duplex

I got a new MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion 10.8.1
I've already installed the latest driver update from apple
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907
and also checked the firmware on the photosmart 5514 for any update.
When trying to print from the mac (wireless), the option for double sided / duplex printing is always grayed out.
How can I enable this function?
Note: Product Name and Number etc which may be displayed along with this entry are incorrect. I couldn't find a way to change this. I had an windows hp pavillion and a deskjet before I moved to Apple.
This question was solved.

Hi,
The HP Photosmart 5514 (B111c) does not support automatic duplex printing but only the B111h model does.
You may perform manual duplexing using the Pages to Print option as listed below:

I have a new macbook pro and an HP Deskjet D2500 series printer and i can not figure out how to do double sided (duplex) printing! any help?

Does anyone know how to set up print so that it comes out double sided with the macbook pro??

How you enable double-sided printing can depend on the applications from whick you wish to print. Example: if I print to my HP PhotoSmart from Safari, I get this print dialog box:
(Edit: OOPS! Note that I forgot to switch printers when i took the scene-shots, so ignore the "Brother" reference. It's should look the same for your HP.
Note the selection labled "Safari" near the bottom. If I change that form "safari to "Layout: I get this:
Note the option for two-sided printing appears for your selection. If I print from Word, the box is different:
The "Copies & Pages" option can be changed to "Layout" when you click it, again allowing the selection of two-sided printing.
If you tell us what applciaiton is vexing you, we may be able to give better-focused information.

Acrobat Reader 8 Will Not Default to Double Sided / Duplex Printing In Linux

Acrobat Reader for Linux 8.1.2 seems to always default to single sided printing regardless of the system default. In order to save trees, toner, the environment and money, it would be nice if it would default to the system's default.
> The default printing command is something like:
> lpr -P printer_name -o InputSlot=Middle -o OutputBin=PrinterDefault -o Resolution=300x300dpi -o PageSize=Letter -o Duplex=None
> Requiring the user to select double sided printing every time they print. This changes the command to:
> lpr ... Duplex=DuplexNoTumble
> It would be nice if the default setting was:
> lpr ... Duplex=PrinterDefault
> So that users could still choose but platform administrators could set the default in /etc/cups/lpoptions Unfortunately, most people will simply not print double-sided unless its the default.

How do I set up a Mac to print double-sided?

My printer has the functionality (so that's not the problem), but I seem to have to set it up in each software program every time I want to print something. I need to be able to print to do my job, but I hate wasting all that extra paper. And how do I change the settings in Acrobat? It's not user-friendly at all on Mac; whereas I had no trouble finding it on a PC.

Once you have the settings where you want them for two sided printing, save the settings. You'll find the option to save the settings under Presets. Chose "Save Current Settings as Preset…" and give it a name that makes sense to you.
From then on, you can choose it from the list. Such as like this, where I saved a setup for single side and two sided printing for a Xerox 7500.

HP 7520 Double sided (duplex) scanning possible? If so, how do I make it work?

How can I scan a doublesided document (A4) with the HP Photosmart 7520?
I Prefer to scan directly to mail but I never see the option to scan the other side of a document. Not only with scan to mail, but also with the other options (scan to computer, USB)
On several reviews I've read the following:
"The Photosmart can print and scan in duplex (both sides of the page), but duplex scanning requires two passes"
But how does that work? I Guess it doesn't mean that I have to make two separate scans (that wouldn't be duplex offcourse).
But at no point i'm given the option to turn the document and resume scanning.
Any ideas on how to use duplex (sort of) scanning with the HP 7520?
This question was solved.

The Photosmart 7520 does offer the ability to duplex scan.
Are you scanning from the Front Panel of the printer or from the software on the computer? Duplex scanning has to be initiated from the software.
To duplex scan from the software on the PC:
* Open the HP Printer Assistant software for the Photosmart 7520
* Select Scan a Document or Photo
* Select Document to PDF (or Email as PDF)
* On the right side of the screen is a list of drop down menus and one of them is the source of the scan
* Select to scan from the Automatic Document Feeder
* After selecting this option, a check box will appear below this option to turn on Dulpex scanning
* Set the other options as desired and start the scan
If you are scanning multiple pages that need to be duplex scanned, then the printer will scan the full list of one side and then instruct you on how to reset the pages for scanning the remaining sides. The unit does require a 'flip and resume' style method of duplex scanning. Hope this helps.

Hp laserjet 3055 will not print double sided

Okay, it worked before, but the scanner scanner software always crashed when I used it. So I thought I would reinstall the printer driver and see if that would let me scan. Well, the scanner software still crashes, but even worse there is no longer a double-sided (duplex) option available in the printer dialog. I have searched the support site and the internet but cannot find an answer.
I no longer care about scanning, but I would like double-sided printing back.

Woke up this morning and knew the answer. I had lost my presets for the printer when I had reinstalled the printer drivers. That was simple. I also installed manually HPPrinterDrivers2.14.dmg from the Apple support website and now scanning 'appears' to be working. I saw some info yesterday saying that this does not download through Software Update if you already have HP drivers installed.
Strange, but now things seem to be working better than before.

Hey blitzkreig99,
Could you please try using printing both sides option for a different PDF and check what happens.
Also, tell me if you have selected 'Actual Size' option under Page Size & Handling label.

Cannot get double sided printing as a default with Internet Apps

When printing from an Internet App on the 8500A Plus, how do you get the printer to print double sided as the default

KayPee,
The apps found on the printer have their own options. If a particular app can support double sided (duplex) printing, it will be an option in the app itself. If duplex print is not offered as a setting all ready in the app, the only way it will duplex print will be through a possible, future update to the app. There is simply no way of knowing if an app will support any certain feature in the future.

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

How do I get my Canon ip400 to do double sided printing on my Mac?

i have a canon pixma ip4000 printer that can do duplex or double sided printing. it works fine on my pc but my mac wont let me choose the two sided option... ant ideas how to get this to work??

I have the same printer and this is what you do. Say your in Safari, go to Print and under Orientation there is a box which says Safari and has a drop down arrow. Click on this arrow and from the drop down list select Duplex Printing & Margin, check the box against Automatic Duplex Printing and select any further options as you want. Click Print.

Mac printing two pages on the same sheet of paper double-sided

I have a large PDF file that I'm trying to save paper by printing two pages of the file on the same sheet of paper and then printing double-sided, e.g. pages 1-2 would be on the front and 3-4 on the back. I can accomplish the first part by changing the page layout, but then can't figure out how (or if) I can duplex print. Can anyone help? I'm using Adobe Reader 8.1.2 on a Mac running OS 10.4.11.

Yes I do. Normally, I just have the printer print even pages on one side and odd on the other side. But, putting two pages on the same side fouls up that process. If I try printing odd pages, I get 1 and 3 on the front and 5 and 7 on the back, instead of what I want. Maybe I'm wanting to do something that can't be done. After I changed to the two-page layout, I thought maybe I could do a Save As PDF in the Print dialog box, but that was not allowed by Reader.

Double sided printing from an Epson sx425w in mac

Hi everyone,
I've been reading posts by others regarding problems with double sided printing on mac. Since I changed to a mac, I havent been able to print double sided from my epson sx425w printer. This can be quite annoying if you a lot of pages to print. The double sided print option is just disabled so I cant even select it and I dont have the option of "Duplexer" or "Duplex Printing" as suggested in other posts. Besides, I've not been able to use my scanner since upgrading to Mavericks-I know others have had similar problems too.
Anyone come across similar problems?
Thanks

Thanks for your reply. I think epson has just released a new scanner driver which I've downloaded and is now working. As for the printer, they said it's not possible to print double sided from this particular model in mac as it does not have the duplex unit. Hence the only solution is to print from windows or buy another printer with a duplex unit. I only found out after posting the question. Here's a link to the scanner software-http://esupport.epson-europe.com/FileDetails.aspx?lng=en-GB&data=FCFfEfoyEiFBBDU 002FXyeTVD1rAPvGEp+uonLZf8Ez0bAEU003D&id=377764

How to print PDF pages double-sided or duplex in Acrobat or Adobe Reader X (not 10.1.2 or later).
http://adobe.ly/yMEfay

The print dialog that appears with Adobe Acrobat 10.1.1 does not match this video in crucial ways and has no Properties tab for the printer. This means that one has to use the OS printer setup dialog box to invoke duplexing, and the result for me (before I realized and hit cancel) was a document printing the first 400-odd pages of 700-odd pages 3 times, and never printing the end of the document - that's a lot of unnecessary printing, and a big problem. There are no printer preferences to set/choose, so can someone please a) explain why the print dialog shown here does not match the one in the program (Mac) and tell me how to duplex using the actual tools available in the program? Thanks very much

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?
