MG 3250 grayed out 2 sided print option (Yosemite 10.10.3)

yosemite 10.10.3printer driver 12.3.0.0 have deleted and re-installed printer when printing using airprint option 2 sided can be choosen (but other options are limited) when printing using driver  (to enable lower qulity printing - i.e. fast) - double sided is a grayed out option - and no matter which options are utilised it will not highlight. is there a solution ?  thanks

Solution found by trial and error. You may wish to note it for future reference. Under "Printer" there was a line, "Nearby printers", showing another version of "Canon MG5300 Series" - I clicked on that and it showed "Configuring printer" for a few seconds. A new printer by the same name appeared in the "Printers and Scanners" section of System Preferences. Then, when I clicked on the options window (at that point showing "Copies & Pages"), the layout was back in the order I was used to when 2-sided was an available option, and (glory be!) when I clicked on "Layout", up came a beautiful black lettering version of the "Two sided:" box. Click on that and I get the familiar options of "Off / Long-Edge Binding / Short-Edge Binding". I hope this helps others facing the same problem.

  • Two sided print option is grey out

    Recently, I noticed that when I need to print two-sided documents, the "two-sided" print option is greyed out.  I have gone into System Preferences  Printers & Scanners- and under "options" for the printer enabled the HP Two-sided Printing Accesory (Duplexer).  This button continues to disengage (won't remain enabled) and each time I need to print two-sided, I have to repeat the above process. Please help

    Hi,Try resetting the printing system and check if that may help:*Be aware that resetting the printer system will remove any existing print queue and reset any customized driver settings.
    Click the Apple menu, and then click System Preferences .
    Select Printers & Scanners.
    Right-click (or Ctrl + click) your product in the Printers list in the left panel, and then click Reset printing system .
    Click OK to confirm the reset.
    Type your user Name and Password .
    Click OK . The printing system resets. Next click the plus sign and select the listed printer. Within the Use drop down menu select the printer model and press the Add button. Hope that may help,Shlomi

  • J4550 All In One Two Sided Printing Option Lost after re-installation!?!?!?

    Was wondering what I am doing wrong.
    My computer crashed over the weekend and I had to restore to factory defaults.
    I re-installed the printer from the installation disk that came with my All in One J4550.
    I opened up a powerpoint of some menus I had made and printed before.
    When I went to print out these menus there was no option available for 2 sided manual printing in the printing options/preferences page.
    Before the reinstallation I had been able to print up menus using the 2-sided printing. Now it's nowhere to be found. Was this option maybe made available through an update or something?? I have downloaded several to no avail. Thanks for your help!

    Hi Jill542,
    if you goto the HP Officjet J4550 Printing Preferences > Printing Shortcuts tab, do you see "Manually" available in the  "Print On Both Sides" option?
    if you goto the HP Officjet J4550 Printing Preferences > features tab, do you see the "Manual" avilable in the "two sided printing options"? if you couldnt' see the "two sided printing optios" at all it might be due to you have unchecked the "enabled advanced printing features" in the print driver. to enable this you can
    1. right click on the HP Officejet J4500 printer icon
    2. click on the advanced tab
    3. check "enabled advanced printing features"
    4. now if you go back to printing preference again you should see the "two sided printing options "available in the feature tab
    Say "Thanks" by clicking the blue Kudos star in the post that helped you.

  • Why doesn't the Firefox print window not provide a double-sided printing option?

    My HP printer is capable of printing double-sided, which saves paper, but the Firefox Print Window does not offer a double-sided printing option. (I recently switched from IE, which did.) Do I have to do something to add it?

    Can you post a screen shot of what you're seeing?
    The relevant print options for your printer appear under Properties AFTER you click the Print button and select the printer to be used.

  • Envy 5530 two sided printing option disappeared when updated to Win 8.1

    When I updated my drivers after installing Win 8.1, my two-sided print option disappeared on the print dialouge window. It's not hidden, it is not there. The option is still there and works on my Win 7 computer. I can also copy two-sided documents using the touchpad on the printer.

  • When will AR Andriod APP have the 2-sided print option available for a local network duplex enabled printing?

    When will AR Andriod APP have the 2-sided print option available for a local network duplex enabled printing?

    I solved my problem!
    Since I suspected routing or firewall problems inside the LAN, I went in to the router setup and did some in depth snooping. On an advanced menu of the wireless section was a one-line setting and check-box that said "Block Wireless Bridging". According to the manual, this setting "blocks wireless clients from communicating with other wireless clients on the LAN side of the Gateway."
    I unchecked it and restarted the router and now all macs are screen and file sharing.

  • Double sided printing option hp envy 5530

    After uninstalling and reinstalling the Envy 5530 from my laptop to resolve a connectivity issue, I no longer find the option for double sided printing. I tried updating the printer software but still have no option for double sided printing. How might I be able to restore double sided printing option?

    Hi,
    Ensure 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 try printing and check for any difference.

  • Two-sided printing option causes crash

    Hi all,
    I searched a thousand times, but to no avail.
    We have an HP printer, the DJ 6127 (DJ as in Deskjet ), and for a few years we've had nothing but trouble with it when printing from our Macs. I'll skip the details, but now, I've got all Macs able to print on it even through wireless. Phew.
    Except that when you print and click on the "two-sided printing" option, whatever the application, it crashes.
    A few months ago, it somehow worked on MS Word .doc documents, but crashed Preview and Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Pro for .pdf…
    Now, even MS Word crashes.
    Between now and then, we'd installed a new router (a D-Link), which caused serious trouble (took me ages to finally find a way to make the whole thing work).
    Is this a driver problem? Because if it is, then the latest drivers by HP seem to be completely broken…
    Thanks for reading,
    Peter Craddock

    Hello Peter,
    The Layout > Two Sided Printing is part of the OS X print system, it is not vendor provided. So I don't think HP has a problem with their drivers. You have a problem that exists deep in your Mac.
    The first thing I would do is download and run the 10.4.8 Combo Updater. If you kept your Mac updated by using the provided Software Update then the Combo updater may help to resolve a number of things. Once this is completed I would run the Repair Disk Permissions. This can also help to resolve printing issues.
    Regards,
    Paul

  • EPSON Artisan 810 Two-Sided Print Option Grayed Out

    Hello,
    I have written a document in Pages and am attempting to print double sided using an EPSON Artison 810 all-in-one as I have used it in the past. The media type is set to plain paper/bright white paper, the paper size is US Letter (or 8.50x11.00) and Artisan 810 is the selected printer. As far as I can tell, the Two-Sided option should be working, however every time I try I get the following screen:
    Does anyone have advice on how to get this to work?

    Read your Epson user manual to see what it states regarding 2 sided printing & Mac OS.  Reason for this is because I have an Epson XP 400 which also allows for 2 sided printing.  Yet, its user manual does state this option "may" not work on Mac OS.  I could never get it to work w/SL.

  • Two-sided printing option greyed-out HP OfficeJet 7500a

    Hi,
    Could anyone help me? I just bought a HP OfficeJet 7500a (which does support duplex printing) and I am unable to do two-sided printing as the dropdown menu (located in layout in the print screen) is greyed-out.
    Do I require a driver or anything like that?
    By the way I am running Mountain Lion Developer Preview if that matters.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Color settings grayed out in Print Settings

    Photoshop CS5 v12.1.
    Mac OS 10.6.
    I'm printing to an Epson R1800 printer.
    Print. Choose Color Management. Choose Document. Choose "Photoshop manages color". Choose the correct printer profile that matches the paper I'm using. Choose Relative Colorimetric.
    THEN, I click Print Settings...under the 4th drop downu I choose "Print setting..." again. Under "Basic" "color" and "Color settings" are grayed out as are some of the "Media Type" options.
    Is this normal? The problem is my black and white prints are printing really badly. They have color tones. I've cleaned the nozzles on my Epson printer, done everything the print utility suggests. All the test prints look fine.
    I'm at a loss. Am I missing something obvious?

    I see you haven't gotten much input so far from the Mac experts...
    As a Windows user without an Epson printer myself, I can't comment on why you might have color problems under the covers where the software doesn't seem to be following the chosen settings.  However, perhaps I can get you thinking about how to further diagnose the problem...
    The obvious thing I see is that you've chosen "Photoshop Manages Colors" in the main dialog, which implies your intent is to shut off color-management in the printer driver itself.  So to me the graying out of those settings in this case seems to make sense.
    Have you tried a test print using the "Printer Manages Colors" setting?
    Also, to try to test whether color-management isn't being turned off in the printer (regardless of what the grayed-out settings show), do you see any improvement if you use "Photoshop Manages Colors" but choose a standard profile, such as sRGB IEC61966-2.1 for the Printer Profile setting?

  • HT1349 The photo option in ICloud on my computer will not activate (it is grayed out as an option). Any assistance in getting my photos from my incloud on my iphone and ipad to my computer

    The photo option in ICloud on my computer will not activate (it is grayed out) after I load the Icloud download. My Ipad and iphone are sharing my photo  stream photos but cannot get to my computer. I read all the instructions and reloaded Cloud 2 x but again will not activate the photo sharing piece.

    I don't have a Recently Added playlist.  However, I discovered that the file I had named Eating Healthy was given the name You Can Enjoy Eating Healthy when it copied to iTunes.  I'm guessing iTunes pulled the full name of the piece from the internet.  Upshot--the mp3 did transfer to iTunes on all 3 tries, but I was looking in my alphabetized list under E, not Y, so I didn't see it there.  Thanks for your help. 

  • Two sided printing option disappeared?

    I have an HP Officejet 6700 Premium printer, copier, scanner, fax, etc.  Initially I could have the option of two sided printing both as a printer and a copier.  I can no longer access that option.  It has disappeared from the screen.  What can I do?

    Hi Tiqlov,
    Welcome to the HP Support forums.  I gather that you can no longer choose the double sided option on your Officejet 6700 printer.
    Please follow the steps in Resetting Your Printer and ensure that the printer is plugged directly into a wall outlet.  For reference purposes I’ve also included Printing on Both Sides of the Paper (Duplexing) document.

  • TS4522 I have a finished project, but Final Cut Pro has grayed out the export option. How do I fix this to upload my file to youtube and burn dvds?

    Hi guys, I really need help trying to figure out why Final Cut Pro will not allow me to export my project. I have done this in the past and had no problems at all with other projects, and I have done nothing different from what i can tell. Any help???

    Hey Tom,
    Thankyou for your help. No, I have done this and it does not work. I have tried clicking and dragging, selecting the file in the project library, selecting individual files etc etc etc. The only thing that may have helped me out was last night...I clicked on a tab in FCP on the far right side (that must have something to do with exporting as well) and a small screen popped up after clicking it stating i cannot export the file while it is still referencing media off of the camera. I dont understand this either? I do have to have my camera connected before FCP will RECOGNIZE the media clips, but they have all been imported to my external hard drive and once i click import from camera, it is complete within seconds, so the hundreds of video clips i am using are obviously saved on there somewhere already....im at a loss here as to what to do. Do i have to literally download ALL MEDIA in each project to my computers hard drive before final cut pro will allow me to export any of the projects i create?? This seems like such backward thinking...I dont have nearly enough room on my computers intenal memory to do this with all my video clips!!!
