Word double sided printing-mac compatibility or printer issue?

I just installed my HP printer on my macbook. I did all the latest mac requirements by HP for my printer. Now, I would like to print a word document in double sided form. I've gone to PAGE SET UP and all that bit, but it doesn't give me any options to do anything with my pages. Is this a Mac-Microsoft word problem or is my printer not set up properly?? (It prints fine, I just want to change it from one sided paper to two)
PLEASE HELP ASAP! my paper is due soon!

Which printer do you have?

How to show the layout option for double-sided printing on Acrobat Pro X on Mac?

Adobe Acrobat Pro X version 10.0.0 print dialog does not show the option to select Layout for two-sided (double-sided) printing. How to fix it?
System: Mac OS X 10.6.6 on Mactel
Thanks.

David,
Wow, it worked. Many thanks. This is what I did, following your directions to print PDF files as double-sided:
01-Command P & Click "Printer button".
02-Click Yes.
03-Click the Popup Arrow to display contents.
04-Select Two-sided "Long-Edge binding" or whatever needed and Click Print.
05-Click OK to Print.
What fooled me is that from Word (.doc) files the screen on step 3 and 4 show directly selecting a popup menu on the initial print window, whereas when printing PDF files it is required to go through steps 1-2-3 above.
Again, many thanks. You made my day!!!

How do I get my Canon ip400 to do double sided printing on my Mac?

i have a canon pixma ip4000 printer that can do duplex or double sided printing. it works fine on my pc but my mac wont let me choose the two sided option... ant ideas how to get this to work??

I have the same printer and this is what you do. Say your in Safari, go to Print and under Orientation there is a box which says Safari and has a drop down arrow. Click on this arrow and from the drop down list select Duplex Printing & Margin, check the box against Automatic Duplex Printing and select any further options as you want. Click Print.

Double sided printing from an Epson sx425w in mac

Hi everyone,
I've been reading posts by others regarding problems with double sided printing on mac. Since I changed to a mac, I havent been able to print double sided from my epson sx425w printer. This can be quite annoying if you a lot of pages to print. The double sided print option is just disabled so I cant even select it and I dont have the option of "Duplexer" or "Duplex Printing" as suggested in other posts. Besides, I've not been able to use my scanner since upgrading to Mavericks-I know others have had similar problems too.
Anyone come across similar problems?
Thanks

Thanks for your reply. I think epson has just released a new scanner driver which I've downloaded and is now working. As for the printer, they said it's not possible to print double sided from this particular model in mac as it does not have the duplex unit. Hence the only solution is to print from windows or buy another printer with a duplex unit. I only found out after posting the question. Here's a link to the scanner software-http://esupport.epson-europe.com/FileDetails.aspx?lng=en-GB&data=FCFfEfoyEiFBBDU 002FXyeTVD1rAPvGEp+uonLZf8Ez0bAEU003D&id=377764

HP Officejet 6700 Premium double sided printing with Word

I have a new HP Officejet 6700 Premium printer. When printing a pdf the double sided printing option works. When printing from Word, it does not. Can you tell me what settings I need to change to make this happen?

Hi,
From Word click on File and then select Print. the print dialog appears.
Click the Printer Properties link. the Printing Preferences dialog appears.
Within the Layout tab, set the Print on both sides option as Flip on long edge.
Click OK to confirm the changes, than click the Print button.
Please let me know if that helps,
Shlomi

The sx425w is not listed on:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669
which means you are totally dependent on the Epson drivers. There are sx420w drivers, which may work for it, or may not. Contact Epson for details.
The sx425w drivers for Print and Scan has not been updated since 2010:
http://esupport.epson-europe.com/FileDetails.aspx?lng=en-IE&data=FCFfEfoyEiHIEHY ej3fxPyCU002F5lk7kA7sM98zHIPBYkwU003D&id=327010

(scan)
And as such may still have elements to try to maintain compatibility with applications requiring old PowerPC code, which won't work with Mac OS X 10.7 or later.
The good news is that they mention the sx420w driver. So that suggests after applying it, and the update from Apple:
Epson Printer Drivers v2.17 for OS X
It may work. Repairing permissions with Disk Utility may help after all is said and done. Otherwise at least for scanning you may be forced to use open source drivers on my FAQs*:
http://www.macmaps.com/printersx.html
http://www.macmaps.com/macosxnative.html#SCANNER
Alternatively for duplex printing, you could print just even pages at one time, and then rotate the pages 180 degrees and flip them upside down and print odd pages to achieve duplex printing. Test first with only a couple pages in the tray until you get the sequence right.

Help! double sided printing.

Hi, i recently purchased my first macbook air (os x 10.9.2) and have loaded my printer on however can not find any options or buttons to print double sided or duplex printing in word (office for mac 2011). I know my Brother MFC-J6510DW CUPS does do the double sided printing as i used to always do it it on my previous laptop.

I have an Epson double-sided printer, so what I'm about to suggest will hopefully apply.
If, for example, I wanted to double-sided print from Safari, I would do File > Print from Safari's menu. Then a box would pop up showing paper orientation, etc. Toward the bottom is a clickable row that says "Safari". Click that and choose "Output Settings". That's where the two sided options appear.

Last page of pdf inverted when double-sided printing

Last year, my old tower Mac (OSX10.7.5) suddenly began printing out the last page (only) of any PDF with an odd number of pages inverted in both vertical and horizontal axes (i.e. upside down mirror-writing), when doing double-sided printing on our HP Color Laserjet CP4005dn. Single sided printing from the same Mac and PDF worked fine. The same last page also prints correctly if I simply chose to print that page alone. I do not have the 'flip horizontal' checkbox ticked. I could find no solution.
I bought an iMac 27" late 2013 with OSX 10.9.4: all upgrades installed. I still have the same problem. I repeat, this only happens in double-sided printing (selected 'long edge binding' under Layout) of the last page of a PDF with odd-numbered pages. Word .docx and other documents print just fine from the same computer and printer with same settings in the Print dialogue.
Any suggestions?
MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.4), plus iMac 27" OSX 10.9.4

Hi,
Please take the footer subform from the tables section and position it on the page where u want to print and write the script so that it will print only on last page.

7410 double sided printing

Well here I am again with printing problems.
I have a Mac Book Pro using OS 10.9.5, Mavericks. I managed to resolve my Print/Scan problem with Shlomil's help. Also, he helped me some time ago with a double sided printing problem. Now I find I have the same double sided printing problem but am unable to follow his advice (which fixed the problem last time)....
Now, The two sided printing box does not appear on the print drop down menu! So, I went on to the following (using the last advice Shlomil provided)...
"1. Verify the duplex-printing accessory has been installed properly. To verify this open the System Preferences and go to Printers & Scanners. Open the print queue of your printer. Click on Printer Setup and from the tab menu choose Driver. Verify the box next to HP Two-sided Printing Accessory (Duplexer) is checked."
However, when I select the "Open Print Queue" there is no "Printer Setup" on the tab menu. So, I can't verify the "HP Two-sided Printing Accessory (Duplexer) is checked " (unless I'm doing something wrong). I and went on to #2.
2. On the File menu, select Print. The Print window appears.
NOTE: The Print window might be minimized. Click on Show Deatils to see all available settings.
3. In the expanded Print window you will find next to Copies the checkbox for Two-Sided. Check the box.
NOTE: If the checkbox does not appear within the specific application print dialog, skip this step.
I skipped the above step since the two sided printing box does not appear on the print drop down Menu (and no expanded print window available).
I went on to #4.
4. To select the binding type click the lowest selection box listed as the name of the program (e.g. TextEdit)
Will appear as Copies & Pages within Microsoft Office applications.
5. Select Layout from the drop-down menu.
6. Set the Two-Sided option as Long-Edge binding (Portrait), or Long-Edge binding (landscape).
Now, I don't show a "binding type" In the Layout" selection in the drop-down menu, etc.
Shlomil suggested if this didn't work to reset the printing system. I'm really scared to do that because I have 3 printers and a scanner in different locations. When I selected the reset printing system the drop down said it would delete everything...all printers, scanners, faxes, etc.
Is there any other less severe solution? I'm stumped! This all worked before (two sided printing, print/scan). The only thing I can think of is when I correct permissions or update to a newer OS.
Please HELP!
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Well...I can't believe it! Please disregard my ramblings.
I mucked around in the printer stuff and in System Preferences "Printers & Scanners", selected "Options & Supplies" rather than the "Open Print Queue" and then selected "Options". The "HP Two-sided Printing Accessory (Duplex)" box was located there. It was not checked. Although I don't know how it got unchecked, I checked it and it fixed my problems.
Thanks Again

Indesign CS 5 Double Sided Printing

Hi guys,
I have inDesign CS 5 for Mac and i want to print my document (130 pages) on double sides of the letter paper. However, my printer doesn't do double sided printing so I have to print all odd pages at once, then flip the paper over and print the even pages.
Can anyone please tell me how I can go about doing that without selecting every individual page, and clicking print 130 times?
Appreciate it!!

Boba901 wrote:
"Reverse order" is sort of confusing. At initial thought, i thought it's printing from last page to first page instead of first page to last page, thus the term "reverse order"
That's what it does. You can do a test if you like. Make a document of 4 pages with just a page number on each. Print the evens first in reverse, flip the stack over and print the odds in regular order.

How do I enable double sided printing on my iPad through the HP ePrint app?

HP Laser jet 1102w
I have Windows 7 64 bit and a original iPad.
I would like to save paper when I am printing from my iPad. Is there a setting to enable double-sided printing when printing from an iPad using the HP ePrint app?

Hi,
Printing a manual duplex printing is not supported by the HP ePrint app or AirPrint as well, it can only be done with printers who provide automatic two-sided printing.

How do I use the double sided printing with my HP Officejet 6500A plus

I need help with learning to use the double sided printing with my HP Officejet 6500A Plus

Click on the Show Details button just above:
You can configure various options from the dropdown menu just below Orientation.
Printing two-sided requires a two-sided adaptor for the printer. Otherwise, you have to print out odd numbered pages first, turn them over and reinsert into the paper feeder, then print even numbered pages. If you do it right you get a nice two-sided document. If you do it wrong all the even numbered pages will be upside down.

How can I permanently disable double sided printing in Acrobat Reader 11.0.09?

It is annoying to have to manually turn off double sided printing every time I print a *.pdf. Is this fixable?

Hi prtlaw,
Are you still look for answer?
These option are available with printer drivers. So, this is something you need to check from printer http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows/choosing-print-options#1TC=windows-7
Or change the properties of every document:

Double-sided print no longer showing up since upgrade to 10.10.2

Since updating to 10.10.2, I can't find the double-sided print option on the Print menu (single-sided print and copy have worked fine) for my Epson WF-3640. I am upgrading again now to 10.10.3 to see if that helps. Any ideas?
