Turn off duplex, two sided, printing

When I print from my email to my HP 6500A Plus printer it always prints two sided. I don't see any options for this, does anyone know how to turn this off?

I am not at my home printer right now, nor am I near an AirPrint printer, but I have an HP PhotoSmart 7520 (I think that's the model) and when the print dialog box appears, there is an option right in the box - at the bottom of the box I believe - to turn off 2 sided printing. Or maybe it appears when you tap Range or one of the other options. Just try drilling deeper.
This screenshot obviously does not include that line of dialog, but it would appear in the print window that looks like the window above.

  • HP OfficeJet j6480, Duplex (Two-sided) printing, adobe, and "default"

    I've been through many of the duplex printing posts, and can't find an answer that works.
    The system:
    A MacBook Pro running 10.5.6 with the latest HP printer drivers (1.1.1 as per
    http://support.apple.com/downloads/HPPrinter_Driver_1_11 )
    A HP OfficeJet j6480 connected over the wireless network (or via USB, it doesn't
    seem to matter).
    The problem:
    1. Duplex printing from MS Word only works if I click the "Two-Sided Printing"
    option in the print dialog +every time+ I print: saving the print setup
    configuration doesn't retain the two-sided setting. But at least duplex
    printing works in Word -- if somewhat awkwardly.
    2. In all programs with a print dialog box, the "two-sided printing" choice
    selector in the [Layout] panel is greyed out.
    3. In Acrobat Reader and in Firefox, two sided printing just doesn't work
    at all. No matter what the settings.
    I've tried the hpijs drivers as well -- the 3.9.2 version did no good at all.
    (From http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/MacOSX/hpijs#More_Info .)
    HP support was a little less than useless -- not only did they not solve
    the problem, they made me late for dinner. sigh.

  • How do you turn off the 2-sided printing feature on hp 8500 printer?

    I want to print one sided only.  When I have four originals I want four one sided copies.  I keep getting two , two sided

    joaneschroeder, you are going to have to disable the duplexing option on the printer or deselect the option each time from the program you are printing from.
    To turn the feature off on the printer (and it can be turned on in the same way), go to your Printers folder on your computer. This is usually found in your Control Panel.
    Right click on the printer, and select "Printer Preferences." In the window that pops up hit the "Advanced" button. Here there should be an option to toggle duplexing either on or off for the printer.
    For each specific print job, usually there is a way to deselect duplexing either on the main print option screen/window or though the "Preferences" option in the same fashion as above.
    Let me know if this helps!

  • HP Photosmart 2610 All-in-One, Manual Two-Sided Printing, HP e-mail support Ticket no: 8028153835

    HP e-mail support, Ticket no: 8028153835 
    I purchased my HP Photosmart 2610 all-in-one printer in 2005. It was previously installed on a HP Laptop, Windows XP, and all the features worked.
    It is now on a PC running Windows Vista Ultimate 32. When I tried installing the printer software CD, it wouldn't load because of the Vista OS. I then loaded the HP Photosmart 2600 series full feature printer driver (Vista OS compatible) from the following HP website link:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-47754-1&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&...
    Now I cannot get the Printing Preferences to allow Manually Duplexing (two-sided) printing. This option was available on the original printer software.
    I've tried the solutions on: HP Image Zone Help / Two-Sided Prints which indicate:  Click the Finishing tab / In the Document options area / select the Print on both sides check box (this box is not available).
    When I run the printer from the Control Panel as Administrator, the printer Properties / Device Settings show Manual Duplexing: Enabled.  When I go to the printer Properties / Advanced / Printing Defaults, neither the Finishing / Print On Both Sides check box is available nor will the Printing Shortcuts tabs allow the Print On Both Sides option to appear (only shows Print On Both Sides: Off).
    HP e-mail support told me to install this patch to correct the problem:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/genericSoftwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-69848-1&cc=us&lc=en&...
    When I try installing the patch, it won't load because it wants the original CD software. So I'm back to my initial problem of trying to load the original printer software that won't load because the CD is for Windows XP OS. I am at an impasse between the Software CD that I have, and what is available on the HP website.
    What is your solution?

  • Two-sided printing with Epson Workforce 630

    I bought a new iMac a few months ago and got the Epson WorkForce 630 printer at the same time. However, I can't figure out how to do duplex (two-sided) printing. I've searched around, and it looks like this feature may not be supported for the Mac. Now, why would Apple sell a printer through their website that doesn't support Mac? This seems like a basic feature that all printers should have.
    Does anyone know a work-around? The "two-sided" selection is grayed out for me.
    Thanks!

    Thanks! Unfortunately, on the Epson site, it says, "
    Q:
    Is manual duplex (double-sided) printing supported in Mac OS X with my product?
    A:
    No. This feature is supported in Windows only."
    I really don't know why Apple would sell a printer through their stores that doesn't support all features in their OS. I might end up going back to my older printer.

  • Best Printer for Two-Sided Printing?

    Hi all,
    I do a lot of printing of very long documents (up to 300 pages each) - right now I have an Epson CX4800 Inkjet which works very well, but I fear I am running it into the ground. Also, I am going through tons of paper and ink. I'd like to get an inexpensive laser printer (under $300) that can do duplex (two-sided) printing so that I can use less paper when printing out early drafts of projects. I don't want to have to manually flip the pages over and put them back through the printer because I am a ditz and a klutz and always wind up getting the pages in the wrong order when I do this - thus wasting even more paper. I just want a printer that can do automatic two-sided printing for under $300. Am I delusional?
    mac mini   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    No matter what printer you are going for (please specify if you are looking for a colour or mono laser), the biggest expense you would encounter are consumables: toner, drums, transport belts, fuser unit. The reason you should do that first is that consumers are lured into buying a cheap printer and by the time of the first toner change they have to spend as much money as they did on a printer.
    What you have to do first is look around for a printer that has lowest cost for consumables (i.e. lowest cost per page print). The easiest thing to do would be take a supplier of consumables, and write down all the prices for the toner for specific models of printers, then divide them by the number of pages you can print from that toner - in this case you will get a breakdown for each colour: say, a replacement toner costs £50 and yields 4500 prints (with standard 5% page coverage) = 1p per page for that colour. Then compare this costs against the costs of your other candidates and you got yourself the most cost-efficient printer.
    Besides that though, you might hav e to spend money on things like drum (lasts for about 25000-40000 pages in SOHO printers) and transfer belt (again, 25000-40000) - but that all depends on a printer, as sometimes toner and drum are separated, so you have to get both, sometimes they are in one set, which cuts your costs.
    In my case, I've got a Xerox Phaser 6120, and although it might not be suited for you, it's OK for me as duplex unit can be added on, and I don't do this many prints. In your case my biggest concern would be, as I have said, the prices for consumables.

  • PSC 750xi Two sided printing

    Can my PSC 750xi printer automatically produce duplex (two-sided) printing? I set the page setup for 2-sided but the printer spits out 2 pages (1 of which is upside down) and I don't know what to do next.  There is no mention in the Manual re Duplex/Two-sided printing. Thanks.

    Found the answer to my own question:  For the Canon Copier/Printer, "Fiery" driver determines two-sided printing, among other things.  When the print dialog box is open, tick the button that reads "layout" and this should be a drop down window that exposes "Fiery" and that selected will offer the option to print two-sided.  See ScreenShot below:

  • Two-sided printing works, but alternate pages print "upside down"

    I have an HP C6280 all-in-one, networked via Bonjour. The 6280 ships with the duplex (two-sided) printing accessory. Latest drivers from HP (v2.3?) installed. I can select two-sided printing, and it works...but no matter which binding option I choose, the pages print out as if I was binding at the top. IE, page 1,3,5 are right side up but 2,4,6 are upside down. I want binding on the left.
    What am I missing? On the HP forum, I saw a note that this is a known problem in Vista. Any ideas? thx

    This was a problem about a year old with older drivers for other printers. Maybe somehow you've got these installed. Run the HP Uninstaller from its folder in Applications and uninstall all HP software. Reinstall version 9.7.1 from the download here:

    You could also try reseting the Leopard print system. Search for how to do this.

  • HP ColorLaserjet 2600n-Two-sided printing with Snow Leopard

    Hi,
    I have a question relating to double-sided printing. I have a HP Color LaserJet 2600n. Two-sided printing worked fine for me with Leopard. Since I updated to Snow Leopard (now I have version 10.6.4) the two-sided printing options in the printing dialogue are disabled (greyed out). I use the printerdriver 1.3.0.261 How to enable this option again? Software update does not have any new software for my printer.
    Thanks!

    I have this printer and the same problem. This printer does not have a hardware duplex unit, the duplex is entirely manual.
    In the old driver settings, you could check off the "Two sided" checkbox (beside the Collate checkbox), and the unit will basically print off the odd pages, then after that it will pause until you take the printed pages and put it back in the tray, then press the Go button to initiate the print for the other side.
    There is no settings (besides Tray 3) in Options and Supplies.

  • Two-sided printing with HP Officejet 6310

    When I go to layout the two-sided printing option is off. I'm not able to click on it and turn it on for some reason. How can I fix that?
    I have printed things double sided before with this printer. It's only with this computer that I haven't been able to.

  • Problem with two sided printing

    I routinely did two sided printing with my C7280 All-In-One printer, using Vista.  But, now that I upgraded to Windows 7, I can no longer do so.  When I select two sided printing, a three picture window appears, which instructs me to turn over the odd numbered pages that are printed out first, following by printing of the even numbered pages on the reverse sides of the odd numbered ones.  When I use another computer that still has Vista, all works well; i.e., each page is pulled in again, and the second page is printed on the opposite side of the preceding page.  I have uploaded the new printer drivers for Windows 7, but still can't get it to automatically print two sided.  How can I correct this? 

    Go to the first post in the link I gave and read the details. In particular: 
    No option for two-sided printing. The selection for automatic two sided printing may be grayed out, or only manual duplexing is offered.  This typically occurs because the duplexer is not recognized as installed, or the driver may default to not installed.   To correct this in Vista do the following: go to Start, Control Panel, Printers, right-click on the printer, Run as Administrator, Properties, (continue), Device Settings, Installable Options, set the "Two Sided Duplex Unit" to installed, OK.  For Windows 7 the method is similar:  go to Start, Devices and Printers, right click on the printer, Printer properties, Device settings, Installable Options, set the "Two Sided Duplex Unit" to installed, OK.

  • MP620 Two Sided Printing

    Can someone explain to me what happened to the two sided printing that was available in Mac OS X Leopard. Since i've upgrade to Snow Leopard i can't seem to be able to print on two side of the page. I find it a little bit stupid because the printer was bought for it's multifunction INCLUDING two sided printing and now I cannot do it anymore. If any of you know what i can do to get to option back if there is a specific set of drivers that i need to download to do so or whatever
    I would really appreciate it
    Thank You

    This is so frustrating I've just tried to do duplex printing in windows 2000 WINDOWS 2000 and it works now why would they disable that option from the new set of drivers.
    I'm sooo mad right now.
    This is no way to do things. Promote a printer, have people buying it for a specific set of features and deciding out of the blue that they will deactivate some option for no reason. I say plenty of options in the printer menu that 90% of the people will never use but one useful option that 100% of people use duplex printing Apple decides that they take that off.
    I really doubt it is on Canons side caus if it was duplex would not work in windows 2000 but it does.
    I'm just ****** right now

  • Macbook and two-sided printing

    I have a macbook from 2006 (serial # 4H62**U9E) and I have a Lexmark printer (S605). I am trying to print lecture notes from my computer. When I hit print and the print frame is displayed the option that says "two-sided" is gray and I cannot turn it on. Does anyone have any idea how to change the settings on my computer so that the option to print double sided is available? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Your printer must, a. support two-sided printing; and, b. must be equipped with duplexing hardware. If you don't have both then you must print one side then place the printed pages back in the feeder tray - orientation and up side is important - to print the other side.

  • Two sided printing NOT hp 6280

    i recently bought a new hp 6280 injet. one reason was that it had a duplexor and was mac compatible. after installing drivers, two sided printing doesn't show up as an option in the printer setup. i suspect that the duplexor only works under windows. i'm still a mac newbie and could be missing something obvious.....
    thanks for looking

    Two-sided printing is turned on in the Print... dialog box, not Page Setup. Click on the button that has the application's name, and select Layout, if it does not say Layout already. You may need to click on the arrow next to the printer's name (which is itself a button to select the printer if there is more than one) to expand the dialog box to get this button. You can turn on duplex printing there, and select long-edged or short-edged binding.

  • Problem with HP 1220c USB printer - two-sided print greyed-out

    My client has a Powerbook G4 550MHz with Tiger 10.4 installed and I installed the latest HP 1220c driver.
    When my client attempted to configure the printer via the printer setup page under 'layout' the two-sided print is greyed-out. Why?
    My client has admin rights.

    The layout of the print window is not the same as OS 9.x and prior. There will not be a choice for double sided printing as there was pre OS X unless the printer comes with an automatic duplexer.
    You will have to figure out how to print odds and evens in separate jobs and do it manually.
