Two sided printing from a Macbook Air

I switched from a Thinkpad to a Macbook and got a new HP laserjet 1102 wireless printer (because my old one that I used with my Thinkpad died).  I cannot figure out how to get set up to print 2-sided.  It was so easy on the Thinkpad.  Help!

Hi,
Follow the steps below to print a manual two-sided print jobs:
From the file used to print click the File menu and select Print.
NOTE: The Print window might be minimized. Press on Show Details to show any available print option.
Click the lowest selection box listed as the name of the program (e.g. TextEdit)
Will appear as Copies & Pages within Microsoft Office applications.
Select Manual Duplex and set the optios accordingly.
If you are not being prompt to reload the page place the printed pages faced down in the inpuf tray, then open and close the top cartridge access door to resume the print job and complete the other side.

  • My HP Officejet Pro 8600 can't print from my MacBook Air

    Hi,
    My HP Officejet Pro 8600 can't print from my MacBook Air. It keeps on showing "The printer is not connected", but the screen on the printer shows connected. I often reset the printer 'EVERY TIME" I want to use it. I also tried to turn off my laptop and printer several times before printing. If I'm lucky enough, it will work maybe for one or two prints. If no luck then I'll have to reset everything again. Sometimes I reset the printer, the printer will not show on my selection.

    Hello boojoo1tw,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand you're unable to print most times with your Officejet 8600. How is this printer connected? Wireless or USB? What is your operating system on your Mac computer? Click here to find out.
    If your printer is wireless, then I would recommend assigning a "Static IP Address" by following this HP document on Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection.
    Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you.

  • Problems printing from my Macbook Air to my HP Envy 120

    Hi,
    I am really getting very frustrated as trying to print from my Macbook Air to my HP Envy 120.
    I have downloaded from the HP website the software which is compatible with OS X 10.9.4 and installed it.  My printer is also connected to my Wifi router and prints off a test report and also I can print from my ipad.
    When I install the software and it goes to look for the printer - nothing is found.
    Any ideas as I am pulling my hair out now.

  • I have a Canon MG3520 and it keeps saying it's OFFLINE and it won't let me Print from my MACBOOK Air

    Hello, I have a Canon MG3520 and it keeps saying it's OFFLINE and it won't let me Print from my MACBOOK Air.  I purchased this printer in late Dec 2013 and it HAS worked before & continues to "make noise" when it is turned on.  This is Very Frustrating and Inconvient since I have a Business from my home.  Please Help asap! Thank you,  Tracey

    traceyss--this might work on mac air:  on google cloud print i went to the cloud site http://w.x.y.z(put in your numbers) and then menu-utilities-energy saving settings, where i turned off "auto off" (clicking on it leads you to this choice) and turned on "auto on."  then i turned off printer and restarted in 5 seconds to get the changes into the mg3520's little brain:  so far, so good(on a chromebook). hope this works for you!--ceaisland55

  • Two sided printing from Word

    I can print two sided from a pdf window but not from Word.  How come?
    In the printer dialog box the two-sided option is not there in Word, but it is there if I send it to a PDF and then print.
    I have 10.8.4 and a HP Officejet 6500A

    I found this on the HP site, seems to work for some.

  • 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.

  • Printing from a  Macbook Air

    Hello,
    Prepare for an amazingly stupid question.......
    I have one of the new version Macbook Air's 13 inch version.  I also got the 'free' HP printer that came with it whenIi purchased it.
    I have now finally unpacked the printer, and downloaded the drivers from the HP website.  I then went to plug the macbook to the printer to print..... But!  I don't seem to have a cable that will connect the two devices!  The only cables that came with the printer are the old style ethernet cables.  The only cables that I can find that came with my macbook (other than the power cable) has a USB port on one end, and the wider ipod/ipad style fitting at the other (and indeed these cables may have been from my ipad rather than my macbook, and just happened to be in the drawer).
    So, how do you connect a macbook air to a printer??  Do I need a cable with a USB connection on both ends?  Should one have come with my macbook?
    LP

    Lucy,
    I'm assuming this is a non-wireless printer, in which case you'll need to purchase a USB A to USB B cable, OR you could purchase a USB to Ethernet adapter and then use the included ethernet cable. The USB A to B cable is the cheaper solution, you can pick up a 14' cable for about half the price of the USB to Ethernet adapter.
    Cheers!

  • Problelm print from 13" macbook air OSX10.8.4 to hp x476dw

    Priting issues from Macbook 13" to HP X476DW.
    When printing, the printer will respond, the door opens on the printer, it thinkgs about it and you hear things moving, then the door closes.  Queue empty, it thinks it did it's thing.  Could be printing protocol issue where it expects one format over another, but unsure where to define this in osx.
    Printer works fine from my windows computers on the network.
    Printer works fine printing from Ipad devices using airprint.
    I've used the reset printers option multiple times (to try different printer setups)
    I used direct network access using mac standard installations.
    I used airprint setup
    I used wireless direct setup (nice features of this printer)
    This is a brand new Macbook air with OSX 10.8.4.
    in EVERY CASE the printer door will simply open, wait a while, and close.  Nothing printed, not even a blank sheet of paper comes out.  I can go to my windows PC and print right away no problem.
    Side note, the scanner is working fine and since the printer does respond to the document (by beginning the process with opening the door) there is communitcation.
    Any help on this?  Has anyone else experienced this?  It behaves like it does not know what to do with print data (as if it were sending in the wrong protocol, like PCL6 vs PS...)
    Thanks in advance,
    Marc

    UPDATE:  I enabled poscript error printing, I get this....

  • The print menu on my MacBook Air won't allow me to select two sided printing, how do I do this?

    Hi Community,
    I recently purchased a MacBook Air (my very first Mac) and I cannot access all of the printing options when I print.  I am able to print and the printer driver was downloaded, but my options are limited.  I cannot enable two sided printing, which is something I was able to do with my current printer via my old laptop.  I am in grad school and have a lot of journal articles to print and read that are 60-70 pages each.  I'd much rather print these two sided to save paper.  I have the latest version of OS X (version 10.8.5) and my printer is an HP Laser Jet P2035n. 
    Can anyone help me fix this issue so I don't have to use my old laptop to print?
    Thanks,
    Melissa

  • 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.

  • I cannot print wirelessly from my macbook air

    I am trying to print wirelessly from my macbook air 256gb. We have a HP Deskjet 3050 J610 series. It works fine printing when I plug my computer into the cord that is connected to the printer. but without the cord, it says the printer is "offline". I am wondering if the only way to print is if I connect it with the cord, or if i can somehow print wirelessly that I do not know about. thanks!

    also, the printer says it is not connected, maybe if i connect it, i can print wirelessly. how do i connect it?

  • 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!
