Duplex printing blank pages between the two with forced

Is there an easy way to force empty pages in the print when printing duplex job, a PDF document?

It would be great if I could specify in the field of pages in print something like 1-3, white, 4-6, white, 8-10

The only way I know is to divide it into three print jobs.

A discovery I made then tests were, I can specify pages to print as 8 - to get everything from page 8.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

There is no built-in method to force some pages to be printed on the front of a duplex sheet.

Manually, you can insert a blank page in the document (assuming that it is not locked against changes) to the appropriate places before you call print.

Or, possibly, you can write a script to look for some content and based on the current page are same number, insert an extra page preceding these pages. But that would require a very carefully made in the source and the PDF document. I'm not sure that this approach would be worth the effort, however.

What is usually done in the real world of editing would be to define styles paragraph for section headings, for example, in InDesign, which forces the content to the next odd-numbered page, leaving a blank page if necessary. As the document is changed, the extra blank page is added or deleted as necessary to force the desired content on an odd page, on the front, two-sided copy.

  • HP 3510 only prints blank pages of the i - pad, but works fine with xp configured portable computer. Why? Help!

    I have a hp3510 wireless printer which worked well with my i - pad and on my laptop when 1st installed.  now it will only print blank with the i - pad pages, even if it still works fine when using my laptop configured xp.  can someone tell me how to fix the problem of the i - pad, so that I can print wireless using this device?

    Thank you!

    I begin with the tension of the Apple device, make sure that you hold the power button down and drag the bar on the screen on 'Off '. If you have more than 1 iOS device that you use with the current of the printer (like an iPad or iPhone) them down at the same time. Then reactivate them all and try to print to the printer.

    If still a problem, I would then turn off the printer, router and device from Apple.
    1. unplug the router, (most do not have a power button)
    2. turn off printer and Apple device
    3 wait about 20-30 seconds
    4 plug router back in and wait for it to be fully operational and all the light on it again as they were before unplugging.
    5 printer and apple pyromecanismes turn on (check the settings of the iPad to make sure he's still on the same network as the printer and "ask to join other networks" is enabled).

  • HP Photosmart C4795 of only printing blank pages - including the test page.

    I have a Macbook Pro IOS 10.7.5.

    WARNING - I have had this printer for about 2 years and it is literally never worked for me. I finally gave up and its been sitting in a closet. I really need to be able to print at home again this is why I'm asking now.

    I have tried all troubleshooting ideas given to me by the HP site and nothing works.

    The printer behaves like its printing but springs from the white pages, including the test page. I connect via a USB port, so I'll make sure that I had a strong connection. I have new black and color ink cartridges.

    Help, please!

    I would check the printer without connecting to a computer first.
    Do not copy work? If copy does not ink on paper, you can be dead cartridges or blocked. There is an option in the menu Tools 'cleaning print head', if that is not printed a page, the cartridges don't work.

  • HP photosmart Plus B210 series - prints blank pages

    Hello, I got the printer above for about 4 years with no problems. He suddenly started printing blank pages. I went through all the cleaning cycles, alignment etc., but without success. I bought a new genuine HP print head and installed new cartridges and still once, it prints blank pages. The message I get is that alignment process has failed. Does this mean the printer is down and I'll have to buy a new one, or can you suggest a solution? I went through all the steps suggested for this type of printer on your forum, but I still get blank pages. It is a disaster for me and my wife whose work depends on the network printer. Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Hi @drbince,

    Given you have changed the print head and the problem persists, according to me, maybe it's time to consider a replacement printer.

    Alignment is a failure because the printer does not black. If you have followed all the steps in the following document, it might be time to give us a call to weigh your replacement options: HP Photosmart Plus B210 printer - color or black ink not print.

  • Duplex printing on letterhead on the wrong Page and backwards!

    Hi all

    I googled this question and it seems that many have the same problem, but none of the solutions seem to work for me!

    I have a LaserJet P2055dn.  In 'tray 3', I have paper with a letterhead on one side.  It is in the status bar with letterhead down and towards the front edge of the printer, which works fine when I print a page.

    However... When I tried to print the pages back to back, it prints pages 1 to the last page, page 2 on the first page, and the two pages are in reverse!

    I realize I could exceed a flip manually the paper in the tray, but I'm evolving as to if I need to single page and pages back to back.

    I made sure the latest driver has been downloaded and installed, and I tried to change the following settings:

    Printing options > advanced > header Alternative Mode 'On '.

    Paper source: plain / header / pre-printed (have tried all)
    Print on both sides: Yes, Flip on

    Is there a way to change the settings so that I don't have to keep exchanging the paper around the status bar?

    See you soon

    Glenn

    With many printers. the 'face' paper must be loaded in the trays in a way for Simplex jobs, but in a different way to work two-sided .

    Some printers offer Alternative letterhead Mode (according to your comments, your printer seems to be one of them), in which case media that are declared with a Type of paper , letterhead can always be loaded in a sense (the necessary way for double-sided work).

    With the work front, the printer then automatically manage switching sides (probably by adding a blank page and print front and back of each front page).

  • Network HP printer feeds a blank page between every printed page

    My HP network printer feeds a blank page between every page printed when I print from my laptop running Vista.  Printer feeds not the white pages from another laptop under XP.

    So I would appreciate any suggestions.  Thank you and happy new year.

    Thanks, but it was one of the first things I did.  In fact, what worked was to go to the printers, made folder right click and open as administrator, open the properties, open Advanced options, then open "new driver".  You can search for "Hewlett Packard" (NOT use the abbreviation HP) and download the nearest driver for my printer.  The printer now prints only what I asked with no inbetween fed additional sheets each printed page.  Yay!  Finally.

    I spent hours on the Internet, knowledge of HP basic research on the Microsoft Knowledge base.  The answer was mentioned in the update from HP for my printer, of all things!  When I read one of the updates was 'PC Printer Communication issue.'  Seemed to be yet another expression to search for an answer, but it was worth One More Try.  It worked.  http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/printer-all-in-one-software-and/BD-p/software  It is under the HP Support Forum.  So, it OF here!

  • Blank page between pages printed on Photosmart C7820

    I have a printer photosmart c7820 who keeps giving me a blank page between each printed page.  I use Windows XP/64.  I tried to delete the printer driver and went to HP to reinstall several times.  I also tried several approaches to online sources.  Still no luck.  At the same time, he did not do so, but my computer crashed and I had to repair it by the Geek Squad.  It seems that since then, I get the blank page.  Any help?  Thank you, Tom

    The folder should be there after you run the downloaded installation of the web. Try this:

    1. download the software and drivers from following link:
    http://goo.GL/25oiG
    2. once it's done downloaded, launch the installation.
    3. a box containing the word extraction should appear and go from 1% to 100%.
    4. once it get to 100%, it should open a window with a few options. Simply choose Exit.
    5. try the instructions in my previous post and let me know what happens (or if something has not happened as it should).

  • When I generate the table of contents from a new .book, I get blank pages between each page of the table of contents

    With FrameMaker 2015. When I generate the table of contents from a new .book, I get blank pages between each page of the table of contents, they are totally blank does not even a block of text. I click on Add> autonomous Create TOC. I keep the default settings. And that's what I'm left with.

    I can get rid of them by special> Delete page. But I never had to do before the 2015 version. I tried with older files generated in frame 10. same thing. If someone has encountered this?

    Master Pages are part of each document.

    You can import master pages from another document (i.e. a ' model') in your current document using the file > import > Formats... option and select layout from the list (deselect all others).

    If you have changed the current TOC for the problem of the Page Master on the left, then simply save the file and use the Edit > update book option for that OCD regenerated by using the new page templates.

    6500 accepts the print job, but prints blank pages - even for copies. Printer ink is full.

    WOW! At least temporarily, my solution is press Setup (the key) right arrow to TOOLS #6 tab. type OK.
    Tab
    (# 2) clean the print head. Hit OK. If all goes well, take a step back, let the process and be surprised. A second test may be necessary.
    It works at least for a day. Maybe it's your solution.  Jesus is our only hope!
