Two sided printing and checkbox question

I actually have two issues that I am not sure are even possible but its worth a shot.
I am currently working on a form that is actually multiple forms combines with Acrobat 8. After combining the forms and saving them as one file, I opened it with LiveCycle Designer 8.0 to create and modify fields.
My first question is... The form consists of 14 pages and I need page 9-10, 11-12, and 13-14 to print double sided but the rest just single sided. Is it possible to make it do this?
Second question is... On one of the forms I have two checkboxes "Yes" and "No". Is it possible to make it so when the "yes" box is selected to automatically complete a numeric field. For example, it asks if the customer carries a certain life insurance policy and if the "yes" box is marked it will automatically populate a money amount (which will always be the same amount for anyone).
Thank you for any help

1. If the form is a oure XFA form then you can control the duplex printing settings in the Master Pages. You may need to define a second Master page that has the duplex printing on for the appropriate pages.
2. Yes having a checkbox indicate a value in another field is possible but you will need script to do it. On the chanege event of the checkbox you want checked you can add code like this:
if (this.rawValue == 1){
numericFieldName.rawValue = 100.00
} else {
numericFieldName.rawValue = 0.00;

Two-sided printing and booklets (HP D2360)

I am trying to do two-sided printing and booklets with an HP DeskJet D2360 printer. I installed on my MacBook the software I downloaded from hp.com. The printer was correctly identified even before I installed its driver.
I am trying to print web pages, ODT documents, and PDFs documents from Preview, either two-sided or as booklets. The booklet printing option appears nowhere, while the two-sided printing option is grayed-out. Both options show up and work properly under Windows XP.

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.

How to STOP default two sided printing

I have a macbook air (2013) and a Canon 8350 all in one laser printer...it ALWAYS defaults to two sided printing and I NEVER want to print two sided as I print for business and have no use for it...I often forget to uncheck it and thus end up wasting paper and ink.
I have looked through all the settings and cannot figure out how to get it to NOT default to two sided printing. I know I can save the settings, however it doesn't default to that new profile, so I would have to select the profile every time to change it, which makes no sense as a solution (I still have to remember to do it EVERY TIME).
Anyone know of a way to stop this behavior?

You can change the default via CUPS, which is the core printing system of OS X.
Open Safari and enter the following URL
http://localhost:631
By default on 10.8, access to the CUPS page is blocked. To enable it, open Terminal and type "sudo cupsctl WebInterface=yes" (without the quotation marks). Enter the admin password when prompted and then refresh the Safari view.
With the CUPS web page open, select the Printers tab and then select the printer you want to modify. Then from the Administration drop menu, change to "Set Default Options".
This will show a new page with four menu headings (links); Options Installed, General, Banners and Policies. Select General.
Scroll down the list until you see the Print Style menu. Change it from 2 Sided to 1 Sided and then scroll down the page until you see the Set Default Options button.
Click on this button to save the change. You will then be prompted to authenitcate to CUPS.
Enter the account name and password that has been set as the admin for this Mac. And then press the Log In button. You will then see another page stating that the information change is completed.
You can now check that the change has been successful by selecting to print this page from Safari. With the correct printer selected, change to the relevant menu to ensure your modification has worked.

Two sided printing on HP with Yosemite no longer available?

Since updating my iMac to the latest Yosemite, (10.10.2) my HP all in one C6280 printer does not even offer the option of two sided printing. Is there a way to get this feature back? The printer used to do two sided printing, and the option used to come up, but no longer seems to be there. I read several posts which suggested renaming a preset, but in the preset dialog box, it indicates that this is no longer an option. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

If it's greyed out, it could mean that your device does not support duplex printing under OS X. One thing you could try if you haven't already is remove the printer entirely then add it back in again. The drivers that Apple supplies are the latest drivers for this device, there are no full-featured drivers available for this OS version.
Also, verify that you are using the proper steps for manual duplex printing:
http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-Officejet-6500A-e-All-in-One-Printer-seri es---E7/4083974/model/4083869/document/c…
If that doesn't work, you could try this two-sided printing application from HP:
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software12/COL35975/mp-88750-2/HP_Two-sided_Printi ng.dmg
If the above doesn't work, I think an email to HP support is in order. I suspect that they dropped support for duplex printing for your device with the later OS versions. When was the last time you had duplex support? Was it automatic or manual (i.e. you had to flip pages and print again)?

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

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.

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 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.

Two sided printing directly from finder?

Hello all
I am having trouble with two-sided printing directly from the Finder on a shared printer over Airport.
I know that I can highlight a file in the finder, then hit CMD-P and it will print the document for me (opening up the program that created it - be it Pages or Word). I can select multiple files and print them this way.
What I *can't* do is get a two-sided document this way.
I have setup a preset for two-sided printing and set it as default. It doesn't matter what program created the document - it just won't duplex print. I have gone into CUPS and set the printer default as two-sided along the long edge.
My printer is a Brother HL-2240D, connected to an iMac running 10.6.8. I am attempting to print files from a Mac Pro (1,1) running 10.7.5, over my Airport network. I can print two-sided by opening the file in the word processor (Word or Pages) and using the Print dialogue, but I can't do it from the Finder.
Can anyone please help?

I forgot to add - I have set up a duplex preset on the iMac (server) as well. I'm not sure if that makes a difference or not...
thanks!

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.

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.

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.

two sided printing isn't a feature belonging to Pages so there is no reason to describe it in Pages User Guide.
If it's described somewhere, it's in the System's Help.
