Manual double sided printing in Pages

I'm VERY new to Pages and have created my first document. I don't really know if this is a Pages question or a printer issue. When I choose print for my document, it automatically prints all pages. How do I set things up so only one page prints at a time? I want to do manual two-sided printing on an HP Photosmart 2400 series. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The print dialog box is pretty uniform throughout OSX.
To do manual two sided printing look in the print dialog box for the options to print only odds or evens and experiment which direction you need to turn and stack your paper so that it comes out in the end, two sided and in the right order.

HP Laserjet 1300 Manual Double Sided Printing with Windows 7

I just purchased a new laptop with windows 7, love the interface but have some hiccups here and there. And the one that is the biggest pain is printing. I have a HP Laserjet 1300 connected via a linksys print server. Single sided printing works just fine, but I used to be able to (and still can from my work laptop running XP and from my wifes Laptop running Vista Home) print double sided manually. But now even though it says duplex, it will not work and I think the Windows Driver believes that it is a duplexer attached to the printer verses a manual feature. Any ideas on how to get my manual double sided printing back?

Nice one...
I found you can also modify the "Manual Duplex Help" section to provide instructions to the user while duplex printing :
The following prn_grp displays pictures similar to the Laserjet 1300 and has the right procedure (take the printed pages and place them in the same orientation in the tray) :

More importantly, I was also able to modify the hpcu1306.xml file to enable full 1200 dpi support, by adding the following prn_grp at the end of the "Print Quality" section (after the hp LaserJet 9040 prn_grp and before the closing "</feature>")
<prn_grp models="HP LaserJet 1300;HP LASERJET 1300N;">

<option name="PQGroup_2"/>
<option name="PQGroup_4"/>
<option name="PQGroup_5"/>
</fname>
</prn_grp>
NB : PQGroup_2 is for 600 dpi, PQGroup_4 is for FastRes 1200 dpi (fast) and PQGroup_5 is for ProRes 1200 dpi (finer, slower, more memory used).

Double sided printing, back page is inverted

I am trying to print a PDF document on Adobe Reader 9 using my printer which defaults to 2-sided printing. Using landscape mode I cannot find any way of stopping the second page from being "upside-down". It is as if it expected me to flip the pages about the top of the page rather than the side. Printing a Word document using exactly the same settings for the printer results in pages printed "normally." Because I am using the same settings for my printer, this must be an Acrobat problem. Suggestions?

Found the work around myself. There is a switch in my printer setup for "flip vertical," which, when activated, shows the binding along the top of a landscape page. However, when activated it stopped the "upside down" feature and it now prints so that it reads normally with the binding on the left. Weird. Why different for Word and Acrobat?

Double-sided printing problem Acrobat Pro

I am trying to print pdf docs (downloaded from scientfic journals) and do right thing by manual doubled-sided printing i.e. print even pages first in reverse, turn paper over and then print odd pages.
When I first print even pages in reverse it prints second page twice and when I print odd pages it does not print last page.
I have doing this for last 5 years using older versions of Acrobat Professional with no problems.
Windows XP Professional - Have lastest updates on Acrobat.
Thank you.

>I have doing this for last 5 years using older versions of Acrobat Professional with no problems.
and what version are you using now?

How do I set up pages to print a 5x7 catalog using doubled sided printing. When I try this layout the inside pages are upside down?

I am trying to print a 5 x7 catalog. When I print it out using doubled sided the inside pages are upside down. Is there a way to setup and print using a 5x7 format?

If your printer does duplex printing (i.e. you're not re-feeding the pages manually), there may be a setting in the print dialog. My Brother color laser has these option when I check the two-sided box. If you see something similar, test the various options & make a note of what works. It took me so many tries to figure out what they meant by long- or short-edge binding!
If you're using something like CocoaBooklet or another program to create a booklet, see if it has an option to turn the second side upside down.

Last page of pdf inverted when double-sided printing

Last year, my old tower Mac (OSX10.7.5) suddenly began printing out the last page (only) of any PDF with an odd number of pages inverted in both vertical and horizontal axes (i.e. upside down mirror-writing), when doing double-sided printing on our HP Color Laserjet CP4005dn. Single sided printing from the same Mac and PDF worked fine. The same last page also prints correctly if I simply chose to print that page alone. I do not have the 'flip horizontal' checkbox ticked. I could find no solution.
I bought an iMac 27" late 2013 with OSX 10.9.4: all upgrades installed. I still have the same problem. I repeat, this only happens in double-sided printing (selected 'long edge binding' under Layout) of the last page of a PDF with odd-numbered pages. Word .docx and other documents print just fine from the same computer and printer with same settings in the Print dialogue.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
Please take the footer subform from the tables section and position it on the page where u want to print and write the script so that it will print only on last page.

Double sided printing on HP officejet 7410 and windows 8.1

I recently had to upgrade to a new computer with Windows 8.1 and after downloading the driver for my old HP Officejet 7410 All in One WITH the double sided printing attachment, I cannot get it to print on both sides automatically, as in the printer setup there is only "print one page" or manually print double sided. I continue to get the manual print instructions to turn the pages over. I have downloaded the driver twice and cannot find an option for the double sided driver. The printer still prints double sided automatically with the other old computer i have.
Help ~ wanting to print double sided!

I have the same problem. I have the HP Officejet 7410 that supports automatic double sided printing. I recently upgraded to Windows 8.1. I installed the most recent software and drivers from the HP support site. But automatic double sided printing is no longer an option. What's up with that HP? How about a fix?

HP Photosmart D7160 printer could it be fitted with a double sided print unit?

I only need to know if my HP Photosmart D7160 printer was made with the provision of or could it be fitted with a double sided print unit.? If I had got the answer I would have purchased the required part.
i have been searching the HP web site on and off for the last four years for the answer to this question only to find myself going round in circles without ever getting any practical answer. If and when HP have the courage to answer the question
and the answer is what I think it will be I will take the printer back whence it came from and demand a refund in full!
I have just tried a spell check and the website doesn't recognised the name/number of HP manufactured equipment that is clearly printed on the front cover and when I instal HP print cartriges HP tell me I have been a good boy.

Page 9 of the user manual indicates there is an optional accessory for double side printing. The data sheet here indicates that (in the US) the part number is:
HP ph5582 Two-sided Printing Accessory
Q5582A
HP ph5582 Two-sided Printing Accessory Q5582A
A Google search turns up a number of offerings.

DOUBLE SIDED PRINTING 7500 E910

IM TRYING TO SET MY OFFICEJET 7500 E910 T0 DO DOUBLE SIDED PRINT, DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEA HOW TO SET IT UP?
THANKS
ED

Hi CWWIG,
Currently, the Officejet 7500 doesn't have duplex, therefore it doesn't support dobile side printing.
For the dobile side print, you may try to flip the page manually or there are other HP products for your consideration.
Thank you!

Macbook won't let me enable double sided printing? (Samsung ML-191x252x series)

Hi,
i recently bought a macbook pro (currently running OS 10.8.4). I connected it to my 3 year old Samsung ML-1915 printer yesterday to print something and discovered i cannot enable the double sided printing option... I checked online how to do it from system preferences , only to discover that the option actually isn't available to me. I installed the driver online from Softpedia but i still can't switch on duplex printing when i go to system preferences. This really bugs me since i can't even select even/ uneven pages to print (to do it manually..).
Any ideas/hints how to fix this?
Kind greets,
Laurens

Hello,
so i updated to 10.8.5, then discovered there was an additional Samsung update in App store. I installed that one as well, but it still didn't show in system Preferences. Then i deleted the printer, added it again and it still didn't work... I contacted Samsung chat support, they helped me to get the latest driver, and hooked me up with Smart Panel. Smart panel seems useless though, as it doesn't really allow me to do anything special. It's just a small box that indicates the toner level. Nothing to add about software, or double sided printing. 'm kinda lost by now...

Double sided printing for canon

how to print double sided printing for canon mp287?

I am having the same problem. I just got a cannon MG2520 and I've been trying to print double sided...however it's not a grayed out option. This is extremely infuriating because I need to print about 50 slides off every few days for class. I've tried everything people have offered so far. There is no "duplex managing" or something to that effect when I go through systems and preferences. I read somewhere else to change format for to the specific printer and use "letter" instead of "US letter." However, US letter isn't even an option for me. I tried to go through preview and it just kept making the slides go the wrong way and wouldn't let me print multiple slides to one pages. As of now I have to manually go through, hit handouts (6 slides per page) and then count what number slides those are in order to print it right....this is extremely frustrating!! Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

How do I enable double sided printing on my iPad through the HP ePrint app?

HP Laser jet 1102w
I have Windows 7 64 bit and a original iPad.
I would like to save paper when I am printing from my iPad. Is there a setting to enable double-sided printing when printing from an iPad using the HP ePrint app?

Hi,
Printing a manual duplex printing is not supported by the HP ePrint app or AirPrint as well, it can only be done with printers who provide automatic two-sided printing.

How do I use the double sided printing with my HP Officejet 6500A plus

I need help with learning to use the double sided printing with my HP Officejet 6500A Plus

Click on the Show Details button just above:
You can configure various options from the dropdown menu just below Orientation.
Printing two-sided requires a two-sided adaptor for the printer. Otherwise, you have to print out odd numbered pages first, turn them over and reinsert into the paper feeder, then print even numbered pages. If you do it right you get a nice two-sided document. If you do it wrong all the even numbered pages will be upside down.

How can I permanently disable double sided printing in Acrobat Reader 11.0.09?

It is annoying to have to manually turn off double sided printing every time I print a *.pdf. Is this fixable?

Hi prtlaw,
Are you still look for answer?
These option are available with printer drivers. So, this is something you need to check from printer http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows/choosing-print-options#1TC=windows-7
Or change the properties of every document:

7410 double sided printing

Well here I am again with printing problems.
I have a Mac Book Pro using OS 10.9.5, Mavericks. I managed to resolve my Print/Scan problem with Shlomil's help. Also, he helped me some time ago with a double sided printing problem. Now I find I have the same double sided printing problem but am unable to follow his advice (which fixed the problem last time)....
Now, The two sided printing box does not appear on the print drop down menu! So, I went on to the following (using the last advice Shlomil provided)...
"1. Verify the duplex-printing accessory has been installed properly. To verify this open the System Preferences and go to Printers & Scanners. 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."
However, when I select the "Open Print Queue" there is no "Printer Setup" on the tab menu. So, I can't verify the "HP Two-sided Printing Accessory (Duplexer) is checked " (unless I'm doing something wrong). I and went on to #2.
2. On the File menu, select Print. The Print window appears.
NOTE: The Print window might be minimized. Click on Show Deatils to see all available settings.
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.
I skipped the above step since the two sided printing box does not appear on the print drop down Menu (and no expanded print window available).
I went on to #4.
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).
Now, I don't show a "binding type" In the Layout" selection in the drop-down menu, etc.
Shlomil suggested if this didn't work to reset the printing system. I'm really scared to do that because I have 3 printers and a scanner in different locations. When I selected the reset printing system the drop down said it would delete everything...all printers, scanners, faxes, etc.
Is there any other less severe solution? I'm stumped! This all worked before (two sided printing, print/scan). The only thing I can think of is when I correct permissions or update to a newer OS.
Please HELP!
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Well...I can't believe it! Please disregard my ramblings.
I mucked around in the printer stuff and in System Preferences "Printers & Scanners", selected "Options & Supplies" rather than the "Open Print Queue" and then selected "Options". The "HP Two-sided Printing Accessory (Duplex)" box was located there. It was not checked. Although I don't know how it got unchecked, I checked it and it fixed my problems.
Thanks Again
