Printing multiple files in duplex mode: second on the back side

Hi,
I am having a strange problem. I use Snow Leopard on a Mac Book Pro. Typically, I use
duplex printing. This works fine. The only issue is: if I print two different documents and the back side is
free after the first page, then the second document is started on the BACK SIDE of the first.
This is of cause VERY annoying. I tried various options. Both in the print menu and using CUPS. They had no effect.
This happens both at home (using a SAMSUNG CLP 550) and at work (through a windows printer server) to a Dell Multifunction printer.
Now, I am basically out of options. Does anybody have a hint what this good be and how to repair duplex printing?
Thanks
Klaus

Hi,
thanks a lot for helping. It would be pity if this can not be corrected. After all this is no magic.
(Regarding Windows: my printer at home is certainly not high-end...
and the machine at the office was cheapest we could get from Dell with the functionality.
But this is a side issue, as I want to go Mac only. - I am still running continuously a Windows-VM and
I want to get rid of this. Would be a pain to do printing with Windows always.)
Inserting pages is not possible for PDFs. - And this is actually a major part of my prints..
Cheers

  • Can't "Print multiple files" or "Print bin files"

    I had PSE6 installed on my 'old' PC and never had any problems. Then I had my PC upgraded and now I can't print multiple files from the editor or organiser. The photos appear but have a red circle-like icon in the top-left of the thumbnail.
    I can print single photos from the editor. I have updated my printer driver with no change. The printer works fine from other applications.
    I know this is possibly not a PSE6 problem, but would appreciate any light that can be shed on fixing this problem.
    I am running on XP Pro (was on SP2 before but new system has been installed with SP3)
    Thanks in advance.

    Barbara,
    Thanks for replying! I am using a Mac (OS 10.5 and Photoshop Elements 6)
    I went to one of Adobe's help pages and tried to follow the instructions below so that I could print multiple photos on one sheet. However, I cannot find any "Organizer" or "Editor Print" dialog box in my Photoshop Elements software. Plus, I do not know what "Photo Browser" or "Date view" are. And the "Remove" button does not seem to be available.
    The guide appears to be of no help, and I am currently lost. Are the directions below not for a Mac? Is there a book I should buy for Mac?

    Print multiple photos
    You can print multiple photos using the Print dialog box in the Organizer. You can access this dialog box from the Editor Print dialog box.
    1. Do one of the following to open the Print Selected Photos or Print Photos dialog box:
    In the Photo Browser or Date view, select one or more photos, and choose File > Print.
    In Full Edit, Quick Fix, Guided Edit, or any other workspace mode, open the photos you want to print and choose File > Print Multiple Photos.
    2. To add more photos, click the Add button .
    3. To remove a photo from the print list, select its thumbnail and click the Remove button .
    4. Choose Individual Prints from the Select Type Of Print menu.
    5. Choose a print size for each photo from the Select Print Size And Options menu. Click the forward and back buttons to see each page of the print job.

  • Open and print multiple files from the Finder all at once.

    I'm trying to research how to do this. In OS9 you used to be able to hi-lite multiple files (Word files for example) and just hit Command+P. This would automatically open all of the files AND print them.
    I can't seem to do this in my OS X. Or can I? I can hi-lite and go to File/Print, but the computer is only opening but not printing.
    Any suggestions??
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    I don't know how to both "open and print" multiple files in one step. The ⌘O combination of course will open multiple items. The items remain selected so switching back to the "Finder" and dragging multiple icons onto the icon for "/Applications" > "Utilities" > "Printer Setup Utility.app" seems to cause them all to be printed to the default printer.
    Alternatively, a user's "~/Library/Printers" folder contains printer icons -- I'm not sure what they are exactly, but they represent the printers set up for that account. They function pretty much like the pre-OS X "Desktop Printer" icons so dragging and dropping multiple files onto them should cause them to be printed. It may even be possible to create aliases to them on the "Desktop" to recreate "Desktop Printer" functionality. But again, this won't open the files into their applications.

  • Can no longer print multiple files from a PDF package

    Prior to our upgrade to Acrobat Pro X, we had the ability to print multiple files within a PDF package.  We would simply select the files we wanted to print, say print and it would print them all.  It no longer does so, although it still allows us to select multiple files and to select ALL from the print menu but then it only sends the first file to the printer.
    We have tried it on both Windows XP and Windows 7 and it won't work correctly on either one.
    Does anyone have any ideas?  This is very frustrating as these packages are created by folks bundling their e-mail messages to send to the fileroom for printing and filing in the official case files.  With the old method we were able to quickly print out all the messages without attachments, and then would only have to individually print those messages that had attachments.  As stands now if we get a package with 100 messages in  it we will have to select and print each file individually instead of being able to print the 75 without attachments as one print job and then only have to do the seperate handling for the remaining 25 with attachments.
    Any and all suggestions are welcome.

    I'm using windows 7. The Acrobat that came with the Adobe Creative Suit 4 is Adobe Acrobat Pro. When I am on a web site that has a page in PDF I click on the printer icon and the print page comes up but the preview side is blank and will not print the page.

  • Printing multiple files

    I have an iMac G5 running Tiger 10.4.3.
    My issue is that when I print multiple files from within a folder, the the files are not printed alphabetically by the file name. It appears printing multiple files is completely random, since I have been unable to discern any pattern.
    Does anyone know of a way to set the print order in the queue?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    What if you view the files alphabetically in the Finder, and drag them into the Printer Utility that manages the queue?

  • How can i print my files from mi iphone 5 throught the airport express?

    How can i print my files from mi iphone 5 throught the airport express?? i have the last iOS version installed and also the last firmware version of the printer. the printer is already connected to the USB airport express and when i look for printers in airprinter there is no printer found. i have an HP LASERJET P1606dn(i think that is supported by the airprinter).

    In order to function with AirPrint, a printer must connect to the network wirelessly.
    Even if you have an AirPrint compatible printer, iOS devices will not be able to print to the printer when it is connected via USB.
    So, you have two options:
    1) Reconfigure the printer to connect to the network using wireless only and the iOS devices should be able to print that way....assuming that you have up to date drivers for the printer installed.
    2) Leave the printer connected via USB and then use a third party App like Printopia installed on your Mac as a "workaround" to (hopefully) allow the iOS to device to be able to print.  If you want to give this a try, there is a free trial for Printopia, so you will know if it will work before you buy. You must have a Mac running on the network in order for Printopia to function correctly.

  • Printing LAST page in SAP script on the back side.

    Hi ,
    I have a problem with the printing of the LAST page on the reverse side of the form, when done with a vendor.
    At a time we print many vendors together.
    So, when done with printing of a vendor it needs  to print his address on last page, reverse side(address)
    Next will be followed by another vendor details.
    I cannot give 'D' for the first page because it would fail if the form flows more than 2 pages.
    is there any way of triggering the LAST page in SAP Script when it done with printing of one vendor.
    any help would be highly appreciated.
    regards.

    Hi ,
    In Script PO i have to print 'Terms and Conditions' text only on the back side of last page of the PO.
    Presently script contains THREE pages ( FIRST, NEXT, TERMS).
    FIRST with attributes :
    next page as NEXT , Print mode T.
    NEXT with attributes :
    next page as NEXT and print mode T
    TERMS with attributes :
    next page as ' '.
    I Created 'TERMS AND CONDITION' window.For TERMS page i selected 'TERMS AND CONDITION' window only.
    So page window of 'TERMS'  is 'TERMS AND CONDITION'  and i included standard text in 'TERMS AND CONDITION' window.
    If PO contains 9 pages( that means MAIN WINDOW data flows up to 9th page with footer also ).
    So i have to print standard text(Terms and conditions) back side of 9th page only not on all pages.
    So total PO contians 9 pages with 10 prints.
    Please help to solve the issue
    Thanks and Regards

  • How do I print multiple files in file name order

    I'm using Windows XP SP3.  When I select all the PDF files within a folder and right click and print, the files do not come out of the printer in the order of the file names. I have the file names displayed properly in order on the screen, but they seem to printout in thier own order.  This same thing happens on all 6 computers in the office and they all have their own printer.  Also, one machine is running windows 7 and it only allows you to select 15 files max for multiple file printing. Microsoft referred me to Adobe to get help on these two issues. Can anyone help?
    Thanks

    Do I need to purchase a different PDF program other than Adobe?  Does anyone recommend an alternative to Adobe?

  • Can't select and print multiple files from Mac OS' Finder

    I'm using Acrobat Reader on Mac OSX. I'm used to be able to select multiple files in Finder and then press Apple-P to print all of them in one batch. Reader blocks this, by opening the first of the documents and then display the Print Setup dialogue, instead of just printing the document according to the default settings.
    When the dialogue is displayed, the reader is blocked from opening and printing the remaining documents, and just displays an error message that it couldn't open them. That is not a nice behaviour.

    Hi Mikael,
    It is not possible to open another document while printing another document through Acrobat.
    You might want to create an action in Acrobat to print all the pdf's in a particular folder.

  • Adobe Acrobat, Print multiple files to PDF and merge open files to closed files?

    I have Adobe Acrobat XI Professional.
    Print to PDF – How can this be done for more than 15 documents at a time?  Right now, if I select 16 or more documents, I cannot ‘right click’ and choose ‘print’.  Is this a setting issue?  If I have many documents I need to print to PDF at once, it would be helpful if there wasn’t this limitation.  Background: This needs to be done to PDF files created from Adobe Live Cycle (and possibly from other software) because the files cannot be merged unless they are ‘printed to PDF’ first.  I don't know an alternate way to merge these files.
    Also, if I have a multi-page PDF open and I need to parse out the pages to different files, is it possible to drag the selected pages out of the open PDF and hover over a closed PDF and have them added to the end of the closed PDF document?  I don't know of a way to do this, but I thought I would check to see if anyone else was aware of a simpler way to parse pages from one document into several pre-existing documents without opening each and dragging the files between them.
    Thanks!

    Thank you for your response...I can do the additional step to combine them, the problem that I have is that the documents need to be in chronological order.  If I print them to the pdf printer or export them, either way, windows sorts them and they are no longer chronological.  While I can organize them when I combine them there are many times that there way too many that need combined into one pdf, making it a very inefficient and cumbersome process to do.  So I was in hopes there was a way to just have the pdf printer create one file instead of one for each document, it would keep them in chronological order.  I suppose I could number them on the print to keep them chronological - but when there are 75 or 100 documents it is a bit of a pain to sit there and respond to each document as it is being printed, and then need to do the additional step of combining.  My goal in this process is to gain efficiency so thought I would see if anyone knew how to use the pdf printer to create the single file.

    I have Adobe X on a Windows 7 HP laptop.  I was printing .pdf files for a short while, but now the screen goes black and nothing happens.  I also have tried printing bank statements with the same black screen/no printing results.  Anyone have similar experiences?  Do you know of a fix?

    Adobe X.   Unless you have another idea,  I am going to try the 10.0.2 fix and see if that works.  If not, I may uninstall and try a 9.xxx version.  Thanks.
