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.

Two sided printing with wordperfect HP Photosmart 6515

Any ideas how to set up two sided printing with wordperfect documents using HP Photosmart 6515

Hello,
You should be able to print on two sides using this method for your product:
NOTE:You can print your document on both sides of the paper, instead of just one side. Click on the Advanced button on the Paper/Quality or Layout tab. From the Pages to Print drop-down menu select Print Odd Pages Only . Click OK to print. After the odd numbered pages of the document have been printed, remove the document from the output tray. Reload the paper in the input tray with the blank side facing up. Return to the Pages to Print drop-down menu and then select Print Even Pages Only . Click OK to print.

Two-sided printing with HP C7280 all-in-one?

Howdy all!
I just bought an HP Photosmart C7280 all-in-one. While ordinary printing works fine, I see no way to do two-sided printing with the current driver. (The accessory is already installed by default.)
Has anyone managed to get this to work?
Thanks!

Hi Randy,
Yes the upside down issue was fixed for me, but only when I manually downloaded and installed the latest HP print drivers from Apple support directly. Apparently the automatic update doesn't recognize the network printer, so it won't download the drivers. I can't remember the exact driver I downloaded and installed, but it was the latest that included the All In One 7200 series. This is the latest I could find, and I believe it was what I downloaded

I hope this helps you!

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.

PS I have read the UserGuide and can still find no reference to two sided printing or any alternative description of the feature.
Which UserGuide
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.

Two-sided printing with HP 940

I've got a HP Deskjet 940 WITH the duplexer but I cannot for the life of me see where / how I can enable and access two-sided printing in OS X (had NO problem doing this when it was with my PC).
Suggestions?

First, you need to have a printer driver that enable two-sided printing. I don't know HP 940, but with my HP (J6480) it came with the printer.
In the print dialog box, you need to press the arrow next to the printer name to see all options. Once you see all options there will be a menu on the right side where you can choose options for the printer. If the printer driver supports duplexing, one of them should be two sided printing. Depending on your printer, it could be different places in that menu. It might also depend on the program you're printing from. Try from preview, it should be there (if you use cmd-P to print). If you don't see the option, it might be a printer driver problem.

Two-sided printing with HP Deskjet 960c

My printer used to print two-sided just fine. I had a jam and cleared it. Now the software doesn't offer me the two-sided option any more. I reloaded the drivers, made sure two-sided printed was enabled under my printer settings, but still no luck. Any suggestions?

Try enabling the duplexer in device settings as discussed here. If that does not solve the issue please indicate what operating system you have and what driver.

Two sided prints with /right/ side up

hi all,
is there an easy way to print TWO SIDED prints so that the back side is oriented in the same direction as the front side? right now if i click on the two sided print box it prints so that i have to flip the page over from top or bottom (don't want) as opposed to left or right (should be the default IMHO).
any ideas on where i find this or how i set it? i am printing out of Numbers but i assume this applies mac software wide or something along those lines.
didn't find any threads on this that were current.
TIA

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.

Two-sided printing with Windows 7

After installing Windows 7 on a network computer my officejet L7680 prints the same page on both sides of a 2 sided document. I cannot get it to print the 2nd page on the back side if I want more then 1 copy. If I print just one copy the printer prints both side correct but when I ask for 2 or more copies it print the same page on both sides.
I have it set up as two-sided copy. Automatically. What am I missing?

The driver typically defaults to the duplexer being "not installed". See here for information on enabling the duplexer.

Two sided print with Mac Mavericks 10.9.3

I had everything reinstalled on my Mac. Since then, I can't make the two sides printing work.
I have a HP Photosmart C7280. Duplexer is ticked.
I choose print two sides on the window options to print. But then the printers doesn't do it.
If I go to show presents from the printing options window, then layout, I see two sided is off.
But there I don't have the option to change it.
Why something so simple is made so time consuming? Does HP care about the environment?
Thanks.

Hello Planeta-Aleph,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you're unable to print double sided using the Photosmart C7280. I will do my best to assist you! Unfortunately, for this printer and the operating system you currently have, there isn't a full feature software available.
You can only install a basic print driver using an Apple Update. This information is stated from the HP document on OS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac.
Added features that were included in the full feature software are not included in the basic print driver. This is why the two sided is set to off and you're unable to turn this feature on.
Please let me know if you have any further questions. Have a great night!

Can MacBook with Leopard OS do two-sided printing on the Epson NX515?

I am looking to buy an all in one printer, and the Epson NX515 seems best in a number of respects, especially the fact that its ink cartridges come in separate colors, which leads to much less waste of ink. But there is one item in the Epson documentation that concerns me ... the fact that two-sided printing may not be supported by Mac. Does anyone know if the Mac Book A1181 with Leopard OS does or does not support two-sided printing?
Thank you.

Hi @Blazer5,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I see that you are wondering how to setup two-sided printing with your HP Envy 5532. I am happy to help!
To setup the duplex printing, I would recommend to go through this guide, Printing on Both Sides of the Paper (Duplex) for HP ENVY 5530 e-All-in-One and Deskjet Ink Advantage..., as it has instructions for both Windows and Mac. Also here are some guidelines for you to follow:
Understanding the following items can help you avoid possible problems when printing on both sides of the page.
Do not print on both sides of the following types of paper, or jams might occur:
Transparencies
Envelopes
Photo paper
Glossy paper
Paper lighter than 60 g/m2 (16 lb).
Paper heavier than 105 g/m2 (28 lb).
Several kinds of paper require a specific orientation when you print on both sides of a page. These include letterheads, preprinted paper, and paper with watermarks and pre-punched holes. The printer prints the first side of the paper first. Load the paper with top edge first and the print side down.
Also, this post, Vista / Win 7 Duplex Printing Troubleshooting Guide, by @Bob_Headrick. Might have some answers for you as well.
In the print dialog box (after selecting File, and Print), you will see a box next to two-sided printing, that can be checked or un-checked, in order to toggle in-between the two functions.
To change the print quality, you will want to go through this guide, HP ENVY 5530 e-All-in-One series and HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 4510 e-All-in-One series - Print Docum....
For future reference, here is your printer's user guide.
Hope this helps!

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.

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.
