Problems manually duplex print Photosmart B209a-b

hi there, I'm haivng a problem with the above printer and using Windos 7, Office 2010 and Acrobat Professional 9
The main problem is printing the second side of the printed output. I follow all instructions (and this is not my first HP printer so I know how the funcitonality works) but after printing the 1st side of the page (its only a 15 page doc) and re-inserting into the paper stack and pressing 'continue' on the HP dialogue, nothing happens. The screen on the printer shows the home screen (so clearly not doing anything) and the printer properties shows:
Status: printing-restarting
Pages 48/15 (rather odd for a 15 page document
size: 4.6Mb/4.6 MB
clearly the pages information indicates there is some major problem. there is a painful workaround to get the second side to print (send the even pages and reverse the order of the pages) but this is ridiculous. I used a similar printer (HP all in one) with Windows XP without any of these problems. Please can someone help me with a fix? I have uninstalled and reinstalled a number of times and no indication of any updated drivers online.
I use my printer wirelessly, the printer is about 6 inches from the wireless router (BT Business Hub 2Wire) and about 2 vertical feet from the laptop.
Look forward to any help!

Ralph, Thanks for replying. There where no received SIP messages at all just the INVITE being sent but I have made some more progress. The mini does indeed just work. I can do everything that you are supposed to do to other ichat users on the internet. Very nice.
The imac is still playing up but I have got further. I had peerguardian2 installed which unknown to me doesn't need to be running to prevent you for accessing 'barred' IP addresses. snatmap.mac.com is barred in the lists! I discovered this when I saw one of your other posts showed how to turn on terminal logging for ichat. Now that I have turned off peerguardian2 (using the disable filters option) I can make calls to the testbot and see the adverts. I have even done a video conference with the two testbots. I will just uninstall peerguardian2.
However, I can not get a AV chat working to a real user....
In response to your suggestions:-
I have tried all the options for quicktime streaming but will try 1.5Mb/s again.
The ichat bandwidth limit is set to "none". I am in New Zealand and I have standard ADSL (not ADSL2+) 7.6M down 512K up. The mini config is also set to none.
Internet sharing is off.
I have had parallels on the machine but the two interfaces that it installed "Parallels Host-Guest" and "Parallels NAT" are configured 'off' and show as not connected. Is this enough? I will uninstall parallels and see if that helps since I don't use it. I also have VMware's thing installed but that doesn't seem to add any interfaces.
I need to capture a full trace of the imac to other ichat user to see what is happening but will update when I have does your suggested changes or have a trace
Thanks again

Problem Scanning Duplex Printed Document

I would appreciate help with the problem described below. Problem: Scanning duplex printed document scans first page Perfectly but second page comes out solid black. OS: Windows 7
Printer: Canon PIXMA MX860
Software App: Canon MP Navigator EX - mx860 series I would appreciate your help in solving this problem.Thank you,
--Dennis--

Thank You for the advice. I called technical help and Jesse spent considerable time and effort to help me solve the problem. The final verdict is that their is a hardware glitch, not software, The nearest Canon repair center is apparently in some place called Lake Forest, CA. I was born and lived all my life in Southern CA and never heard of Lake Forest. It must be in Northern CA so I can't simply take it in to the shop for repairs. Jesse informed me of a consumer loyalty discount available if I should wish to purchase a new printer.

Can the Canon Pixma ix 6520 support manual duplex printing?

I know that this printer doesn't support duplex printing but I was wondering how would I double side print manually with the canon pixma ix6520?
Thanks!

Hello thekay94.
Manual duplex printing can be done by printing on one side at a time.
If you are printing from a Windows computer, please select the Duplex printing option in the Page Setup tab of the Printing Preferences menu. If you are printing from a Mac, please use the options in the Layout menu to print the odd pages first, then load the stack back in the printer with the blank side facing you to print on the even numbered pages.
If immediate assistance is needed, feel free to call us at 1-800-OKCANON.

PAPER JAMMED DURING MANUAL DUPLEX PRINTING

I had a paper jam, now, i only needed to print particular pages (booklet format here) but MS word crashes whenever i attempt to do so. i only need to print the last half of the booklet, please help.
Thanks!

Hi @DYSSE
I know what I am about to ask may sounds strange, but how many pages is your file? Please take a look at the following post I found in the Microsoft Community Forums;
All of the responses are bogus, I tried them all! I HAVE FOUND THE ANSWER! For some stupid reason MS WORD 2010 does not like an ODD NUMBER OF PAGES WHEN PRINTING MANUAL DUPLEX BOOK FOLD DOCUMENTS.
I tried all of the solutions and one day it worked, my document printed!!! I usually only have a 3 page Sunday School Teaching document, front page, and 2 inside pages of a single sheet of paper. I have to print it to a PDF document first to get it to print book fold. This day it was unusally long at 4 pages and it PRINTED WITH NO PROBLEM! I thought a recent MS Update had done the trick. But the next week I again had the printing problem! So I went back to the previous week's document and it printed fine again. Only difference was the number of pages from one week to the next. So I went some of my older documents that had 3 pages, inserted a few carriage returns to make my document 4 pages long and Voila! It works. I thought it would work the same way with 5 pages (bad), 6 pages (good), etc...but that wasn't it. You have to make your document a multiple of 4 pages (booklet page count). So add some carriage returns to your document to make it a multiple of 4, 8, 12,16, 20, etc!
Work around - make your document a multiple of 4 book folded pages.

Manual duplex printing doesn't work for LaserJet 100 color MFP M175a

Hi !
OS Windows 8.1. Printer LaserJet 100 color MFP M175a. Driver version 61.108.8.10073 date 2011 Apr 13th
1. After switching on checkbox "Print on Both Sides (Manually)" on "Finishing" tab of Print Properties Dialog and
start printing, dialog with instruction how to turn paper appears. Then printer must print odd pages, stop for
turning paper and then continue printing of even pages on the back side of paper sheets. But my device prints
all pages sequentually in order 1,2,3,... without any breaks. What is it- my mistake or possible bug in driver ?
2. Windows API function DeviceCapabilities with fwCapability=DC_DUPLEX for this printer returns 0 (duplex printing
impossible). This value for any other HP printer, even without automatic duplexer, always equel to 1.
This question was solved.

Pages: Special problem with duplex printing on hp310c

I used to produce and print double sided flyers with pages on my ipad4. My HP 310c printer is ready to print duplex. Everything worked fine until I loaded the IOS7 version of pages (Nov 13). Now there are problems. If I fold the flyer the second page is printed up side down. After some research in internet it seems to me that until the IOS 7 version pages had as default setting "flip on short edge" and now it changed to "flip on long edge". The mac version of pages allows you to toggle between this options (duplex printing). I see no way to change this on my ipad.
The problem seems to be a little bit tricky, but perhaps there is anybody out there to help me.
Thanks Manfred

TThat is my problem also. You are flipping to the long side, you need to flip to the short side. I order to get the back one to be right side up. I was able to get windows 8 to do that today without doing anything beside selecting landscape and flip to short side. But when I use my iPad I donot have that selection. I need software to be able to have that option.

Problem in Duplex Printing

Hi,
After following the discussion given in the below mentioned threads
1) issue
2) issue
I am able to print in duplex mode but still there is problem with the number of pages being printed.
Actually I just have to print two pages (back to back on a single sheet of paper), namely 1st page = 'Front' & 2nd page = 'Back'.
For the page 'Front'
Next Page = 'Back'
Print Mode = 'D'
There is command in the Main Window, having Go to new page = 'Back' set & Include printer control = 'SPMDU'
For the page 'Back'
Next Page = 'Front'
Print Mode = ' '
When I print with these settings the output is of 3 pages out of which the first 2 pages are perfectly alright (as they appear on a single sheet back to back) but then the 'Front' pages repeats itself on a new sheet.
How can I restrict the print out to just 2 pages?
I have myslef tried to set the Next Page of 'Back' to 'Back' or even left it empty but it does not work.

Problem with duplex printing in smartforms

I have 2 pages in my smartform. both the page are with print mode 'D'(Duplex).
While printing the first page goes back for duplex printing but the output is printed on next page.
I want the second page to be printed at backside.
I have also tried other combination 1st page = D and 2nd page = ''. Nothing is working.
printer settings are all right also i have a different smartform it is printing in duplex mode and working fine.
what is the issue with this smartform?
Please help me.

hi,
in your main window of first page at the end adda an alternative -true or false
in the alternative add a condition saying if it is end of items.(end of items is nothing but a flag).
if this condition satisfies then call page 2 else call page1.
if it stil does not work then reply back then will give you another answer.
but before this is your output going to have multiple pages?

Problems with duplex printing in Office 2004

My computer is a Mac Pro with the latest version of Leopard. My printer is an HP Laserjet 2420dn. One of its important features from my perspective is its two-sided printing feature. The two-sided feature works with PDF documents and Iwork "pages" documents but for it does not work with Word documents (Office 2004). In the case of the Word documents, the two-sided feature is listed as "off" and no box appears in the print pop-up for "two-sided." Obviously this is not correct as in system preferences, "duplex" is checked as on and of course it is working with other programs. Anyone have any ideas as to what might be going on here with word and duplex printing???

Hi Patricia,
We are using the same white paper 'How to web printing' and it is helping us a lot. We are also working on BW3.5. Without this enhancement, our reports were not printable at all.
Please let me know, if you need more information. Thx. Praveen

Problem with duplex printing - alternate pages upside down

I have been trying to print 2 per side, double sided from Adobe Reader. I have tried this as two up, duplex and also as booklet printing. Whatever I do, the second side is upside down. "Flip on long/short edge" appears to make no difference.
Trying to resolve it in the printer properties is worse: Adobe Reader seems to override them and I get single sheets single sided. If I select both "two sided" in the Reader dialog and "Duplex" in the printer dialog, the second side overprints the first side (but is the right way up!.
I am using Reader 10.1.2 with Windows 7 and an HP Deskjet 6980 printer with duplex unit using the Windows 7 default drivers. I have installed the "AdobeReaderPatch10.1.2_cpsid_92870.zip".
There must be a combination of settings which works! Can anybody help? Please?

TThat is my problem also. You are flipping to the long side, you need to flip to the short side. I order to get the back one to be right side up. I was able to get windows 8 to do that today without doing anything beside selecting landscape and flip to short side. But when I use my iPad I donot have that selection. I need software to be able to have that option.

Duplex printing problem with hp 9500 (right side always just half printed)

Since OS X 10.6 was released there is a problem with the print out of duplex printed pages (specially via Indesign CS4 broschure printing function). Using Mac OS X 10.5.8 with old and new driver everything is fine - but under 10.6, 10.6.1 or 10.6.2 neither old nor one of the new driver releases 2.1, 2.2 or 2.3 will work.
When I´m trying to print a duplex printing page the print of the right page will be cutted off at the half of the page - like the page would not print A3 horizontally but vertically (so the rest is cut off). The new print features within the printing menu (manual duplex print and print broschure will have same effect but with a strange miniaturization to A5 - although it should be A4). All in all the is no way to print out a duplex printing with OS X 10.6 and hp 9500. Will there be any solution in sight? Are there other with the same effect?

I have an identical issue to neuegestaltung, but with an HP 5500. I can print single-sided to A3/tabloid successfully but when I try printing duplex the right quarter of the page is cut off on both sides - almost as if it thinks it's printing portrait.
Applications affected include Adobe Acrobat 8 and 9, Adobe CS3 and CS4 applications including InDesign.
Preview works fine, but of course the colour balance makes the output unusable.
OS 10.6.2, print driver HP Color LaserJet 5500 v 3010.107.
Using the Gutenprint driver I can't either do A3 or colour so there is no solution there.
Worked fully and correctly with the same apps under 10.5.x.
At the moment I am running Windows XP under VMWare to print from Acrobat, which is plainly silly.
Any useful* observations, suggestions or workarounds welcome.
*Needless to say, "It's Adobe's problem" or similar are not acceptable responses. It may well be an interaction between the Adobe's applications and Apple's printing system and/or driver of course; in that case the companies need to collaborate to solve the issue.
