PS CS6 13.0 x64 prints two pages when one copy is set.

I have an image that when I print it, to a printer or to PDF generates two pages of the same thing when only one copy is selected.
The Layer> merge layers, merge visible and flatten are all greyed out so it looks like only one layer is there.
I'm on a MacBook (not Pro) Core2 duo circa 2008 running 10.8 and haven't any idea how to make it print only one page from within PS.
About all I can propose to get past this is to print to PDF, delete the extra page then print it from Preview or Acrobat, but I'd like to know how to stop Photoshop from doing what it's doing in the first place.
Any ideas out there? What other info do you need?

It might have something to do with the print menu which always says Range: page 1 to page 2, even though there is only one page worth printing. It's quite illogical to print a second page when only one is there. If I wanted two pages of the same thing that's what copies are for.
As near as I can tell, a range would only be used for an image that doesn't fit on one page. My image is less than 5cm high and less than that wide. (It's the same size as the lit apple logo on the lid of my Mac, which is what the image is of.)
I tried setting and saving the default from range to single, but even then it prints two pages of the same thing both to a physical printer and a PDF file, and when I next print the range is back to page 1 to page 2. This is all without even exiting PS. Do I have to restart PS for the default to take effect?
Why can't I save a default? Is this a directory permission thing, and why don't I get an error that they can't be saved if permissions are the reason?

Always prints 2 pages when one will suffice

A simple but possibly stupid question.
I print many items and if I forget to specify which pages to print, I usually get a wasted sheet of paper
with perhaps one line of unecessary print.
Is there any way that my machine can be programmed to only print 'full page' second sheets?
I have a mountain of 'note paper' with useless one line messages on.!!

What is the model of the printer? This is necessary to review the specs.

How to print two sides with one page?

I have a PDF that is one page long and I'd like to print the same thing twice (front and back) on one page. Can I do that?
I've tried printing two copies with the printer set to double-sided, but it just printed two sheets with one side on each sheet.

Well sure; Go back to the authoring application that created the documents and do a 2-UP page. Make the existingg page large enough to accomodate the extra content. Is that what you're asking or do you really mean print to a printer with a back up ? In that case just flip the page over and print page 2 on the other side.
Or are we missing something ?

How to print two voucher in one page?

HI,
we want to print two voucher in one paper. what are the steps to be taken in sapscript? is it purely relted to SPAD?
Regards,
lijo Joseph

hi joseph,
i'm not sure how related this would be to your concern, but in my place, we've implemented that by sizing a voucher as half a page, so that when we print vouchers, the printer would know that one page is half of a regular page. SPAD is one place to fix, but the actual printing program and SAPScript was also customized so that it would send two vouchers for printing consecutively, and would fit in one page.

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.

Printing two pages per sheet of paper

I have a newsletter that is 24 pages long. Each page is 7"h X 8 1/2"w. I print on 8 1/2 X 14 size paper.
In Microsoft Publisher the software would set the layout so that the output was properly ordered. For example the front cover and the back cover printed on the same sheet, and page 2 (inside of the front cover) printed on the same sheet as page 23 (inside of the back cover).
I can't figure out how to do this in Pages. Any thoughts? Thanks.
Mike

Mike,
When you make a booklet you start with a vertical (letter or legal size) page. CocoaBooklet then reduces the pages and turns them side-ways and pairs them appropriately to form a booklet. A legal (14") size page will reduce to fit the 8.5 X 5.5 booklet page size (one letter size sheet side-ways and folded).
Remember, you have to start with a page that is vertical to fit the reduced side-ways page of the booklet and you lay out one page at time, not two pages on one horizontal legal size. I can't find a standard size that will reduce (approx 60%) to fit an 8.5 x 7 in. booklet. Your best bet may be to redesign your newsletter to the smaller width. Then CocoaBooklet should give you what you want. (You have to make your original page over-sized.)
If that is not what you want to do, then I suggest taking blank legal size paper and making a dummy. Assemble the number of sheets you want the finished product to be (6 sheets for 24 pages) and number them. Then disassemble them and you can see what pages must be together on each single sheet. Layout your newsletter accordingly at actual size.
Hope this helps.

Printing two pages per sheet with equal margins

My first post here. I did a search but didn't see an answer to my question.
How can I get equal margins when printing two pages per sheet?
I print aviation approach plates 2 pages per sheet and fold the sheet of paper in half and carry with me in a knee board. I had no problem doing this until last week after my hard drive was changed. The steps I normally take are:
click file
print
print range: all
copies: 1
page scaling: multiple pages per sheet
pages per sheet: 2
page order: horizontal (for the first pass through the printer and horizontal reversed for the second pass)
print to file: box checked
the preview now shows a winder margin on the left side of the page than the right.
I can't figure out any way to even the margins. Anyone have any ideas?

Printer only printing two pages, any application

I have a Samsung ml-4600 laser printer connected via USB to an Ibook. It worked great for years, but now, no matter which application I'm using (TextEdit, Word, Powerpoint, Safari), the printer only prints two pages. Even if I print using the printer as a shared device, it'll only print TWO pages!
I've tried:
- printing ranges instead of just selecting 'all'
- tried different applications
- switched USB ports and cable
- uninstall and reinstalled driver from Samsung
- removed and re-added printer to printer list
- removed the printpref preference files from library/prefs
- repair disk permissions
- update all OS X software
Now, I can print from a different powerbook using a direct cable connection and it'll print no problem, so the problem is limited to this 800 mhz g4 ibook.
This just started happening, any ideas?
thanks
Kevin

Make sure you are using the 1.2.0.224 version of the driver. If you already are, you can try using the gutenprint driver.

MF8580 prints two pages, then gives paper size and settings mismatch error. Help!

Hello, I have been dealing with this problem for weeks now. When i called support, they told me it was my computer, that it was "running slow" and that i need to pay for their service - that fixing errors in my registry would fix the problem. However, i have my own registry cleaner and that isnt the problem. Every time i print something, the printer will print the first two pages, and then beep, giving me the error "paper size and settings mismatch Drawer 1" - I have everything set to letter - in the driver, on the printer, etc. I do nto understand why it prints two pages and then tells me there is a mismatch. If i open and close the drawer, it will print the second page again and then the third page, and give me the same error again. rinse and repeat. This also happens when multiple documents are spooled. I send three - one page documents, it will print the first and second, give me the error, i open and close the paper drawer 1, then it prints document two and three - then gives me the same error - i open and reclose and it prints the thrid document... I am just baffeled.

Stop printing multiple pages on one sheet

When printing from Acrobat or Reader, the print preview and settings show that I am printing a single page on one sheet of paper. However, it actually prints two pages side-by-side on one sheet of paper. How would I stop this? This is the only program that does this. I have checked all printing settings in all Adobe products as well as the printer settings in the device's properties. Your help is greatly appreciated.

It seems like an issue the with PostScript drivers installed on the machine. Did you install the latest version of PS Drivers on the customer's machine?

Print multiple pages on one page in Preview?

I tried to print a PDF in OSX Lion and I was unable to find the option to print multiple pages on one Page. Instead there is an option to print multiple copies of pages on one page. Does anybody know where I can find the old option from (as in Snow Leopard, Leopard, Tiger..)? (See screenshot.)
Thanks!

How do you get rid of white space when you are printing multiple pages to one sheet of paper?

How do you get rid of extra white space when you are printing multiple pages to one sheet of paper? When printing multiple pages to one sheet of paper Acrobat won't let you select the "zoom" for printing.

Take a look at Quite Imposing.

HP Laserjet CP1025nw Color Printer - printer prints two copies when only one is requested.

pcwizard (HP) requested that I try Foxit Reader 5.1 to see if the printer will print properly. I used the same previous document and printed it with Foxit Reader 5.1. The printer printed two copies when only one was requested as it had done in the past. We still have a problem.
I am using Windows 7 (64 bit) for OS. I have experience the issue on two different computers.
