Two-sided print don't work.

My 2610 Photosmart I think it don't have a duplex feature, but in Windows XP worked with a two-sided printed.
I can have it in 10.5 Leopard ? What can I do, because I use the setting two-sided printing and check print both sides, but nothing happens, it prints in two sheets of paper, even in queue saids that is printing 1 sheet of 1.
Can you tell me if in Leopard I need to buy a duplex printer to have it printed in both sides? I never need it in Windows XP, always printed in both sides when I wanted.

HP M1120 mfp: two sided printing doesn't work

After that I have installed Snow Leopard the double printing doesn't work any more. There is someone that have found a solution to this problem?

Have you updated the software through Software Update? And did you check if there was a Duplex feature that needs to be enabled when adding the printer?
This thread also has details about adjusting the memory, but I am not sure if it applies:

HP LaserJet P1005 Two-sided printing not working on network

Good day!
I have a desktop, with Windowx XP, to which my LaserJet P1005 is connected via USB. My wife has a laptop, with the same Windows XP, from which she can print, but the two-sided option does not work right. She can check it and print, but the window to restart printing for the second side does not open and there is nothing we can do at this point.
I have trie duninstalling the printer from both computers and reinstalling the newest drivers, it still won't work.
Thanks for your help!

I have an HP PhotoSmart 2575 All-in-One with the latest HP driver that displays the two-sided printing option greyed-out in the Layout window. According to HP, your printer must be capable of accepting an optional two-sided printer tray to work on a Mac. To me that is ludicrous since in Windows the driver supports manual two-sided printing.
To get around this, I select the Paper Handling window and from the Pages to Print drop-down list select Odd only instead of the default All Pages. After clicking the print button the odd pages print starting with the last page and ending with the first. I then remove all paper and reinsert the printed pages with the top of the page facing the printer. First, though, I reorder the pages with the first page on the bottom and the last page on top. If the total number of pages is an odd number, I remove the last page from the inserted stack, as that is the very last printed page. I then select Even only from the Pages to Print drop-down list and click print again.
Problem solved.

HP L7760 two-sided printing not working

I have an HP Officejet Pro L7760 which does two-sided printing, or it did until I upgraded from 10.5.2 to 10.5.5. I have reset the printer system, downloaded & installed the latest printer software from HP. I called HP. I called Apple.
I see the Apple website says the latest HP printer driver is 1.1.1. When I bring up Print & Fax, it says my printer driver is 2.3.1.
Does anyone know how to get back the two sided printing? Which driver version is correct? Any thing I can try?

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.

Two sided printing, the second side prints upside down, what have it done

I know that a setting has been changed, I just can't remember what I did.
When using the two sided printing the orientiation of the back side is upside down. What have I done? and how can I fix it? Help?
This question was solved.

Hi,
From the application used to print open the printer dialog, then click on ettings or Preferences to access to Printig Preferences dialog.
Within the Layout tab change the Print on both sides option.
For a portrait oriented document select Flip on Long Edge, for a Landscape one select Flip on Short Edge, then it will print as expected.

OfficeJet Pro L7590 and two-sided printing

Anyone been able to implement 2 sided printing with this printer. Seems like HP driver is broken, even though print setup allows one to check two-sided printing.

This may help in regards to this two sided issue. I did have some orientation problems on landscape mode but was able to print two sided. After hours of working between HP and Apple etc. I in theory figured out something that proved to work. HP's web driver page warns of not trying to use 10.5 drivers and programs on Snow Leopard. My theory was that in the upgrade process to 10.6 could there be some problems in the process of changing out the drivers and programs, (some programs are even said not to work at all by HP in S.L.). So I did a complete uninstall of all HP printer programs, software and drivers and then reinstalled the printer fresh in Snow Leopard. Wonder of wonders now the two sided printing works properly and the needed adjustments are all back. In a few different places but they are there and they do work. So maybe the problem exists in the upgrade process? I did not have the problems at all in 10.5 but after the upgrade everything changed. Now that it is more like a fresh install in SL all seem to work. The only thing I have not done yet is use the scanner process which HP admits is very different but they do give instructions about it on the driver download page. Hope this helps someone else.

Two-Sided Printing in HP LaserJet 1020

I have just installed my HP LaserJet 1020 Printer by installing the 1022 driver after I had a search in the discussions.
But the function of two-sided printing is disabled, I don't know whether it's related to the 1022 "improper driver" as 1020 is not compitable with Mac OS.
Is there anyone who can have two-sided printing with HP LaserJet 1020 printer?

osuns
Have you checked with HP to see if they suggest another driver that will work?
If not try the "Contact HP" button on there page!

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.

Is two-sided printing possible with Keynote?

The power point slides for one of my classes opens in keynote so I have to print from there but my question is, is it possible to print on both sides when using keynote? When I go to print, and then the printing options I can see a two-sided printing option but for some reason I'm unable to click on it. I don't think its because of the printer I'm using because I've printed on both sides using Microsoft word with my printer before. I just can't seem to do it with keynote.
Should I just copy & paste to Pages to use two-sided printing?
Message was edited by: AshesAshes

I just checked any I can select two sided printing with my printer in Keynote, so I don't know why you wouldn't be able to if you have a printer that is capable of it.
But instead of copy and paste, I would export it as a .pdf (Share>Export>pdf) and then you can try to print two sided in Preview and if that doesn't work, then add the .pdf files to Pages and print.

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.

Keeping Printer setup @ two sided printing

I know that I can set a page to print both sides each time I print but have been unable to find a way to set it up to stay on two sided printing. Am I missing something? Can it be done?

Steve -- for some reason this isn't working for me. My iMac's printer driver settings themselves revert to having the two-sided printing option unchecked, as if I didn't want that option available. So even the "Last Used Settings" gambit doesn't work.
What's weird are these two things: (1) it used to work flawlessly --- never needed to reset that, it always was available, and usually, of course, I wanted it. the exceptions were in printing photo paper, so I'd just set the print options for the software -- Aperture or whatever-- to single-sided, but always in Word or Preview I still had the two-sided option there and could select it. Now, I need first to go to the System Preferences spot and set the printer driver to using the two sided setting. (2) my laptop (MacBook Pro of same vintage as the iMac) doesn't have the problem.
Any ideas?

HP 6500 two-sided printing

I need advice on getting the two-sided printing option to show up when I select print on my HP 6500 Officejet. Thanks.

Well, there are basically three options. HP have a driver for 10.5 and earlier which very likely won't work because of the changes in SL. Gutenberg 5.3.2 will probably drive the printer but not provide duplex printing (this was my experience with a Deskjet for which there is now no HP driver - and the colour handling was less than perfect). The remaining option is the HP driver which is alleged to work with SL. If none of these work I don't know what else can be done except to try a third-party scanner driver such as VueScan.

Two-sided printing from safari

i have a new iMac and HP Officejet Pro k550 (network connected)
the printer is capable of two-sided printing and works fine with word, mail, etc. ... but not with safari. the two-side option is greyed-out and cannot be selected.
is this a problem with my set-up configuration or safari? it's not the printer because it works fine with other apps.

You're welcome.
Strange you can print 2 sided on some sites, but not others. I don't believe the web site dictates whether this is OK or not. It would be simply a function of multiple pages being processed, and the driver supporting 2 sided printing relative to a specific application.
