Print duplex on Mac problems

I don't seem to be able to find an option button in the printer settings in Mavericks to allow the paper to flip on the long side.

There is a checkbox to print double-sided, print B & W and nothing else. I don't have this problem with my computer Windows 8.1. Is this a driver problem? I downloaded the latest driver on 26 August-14

Hello

I'm sorry to hear that the printer setting was not a pleasant experience, I want to help you print double-sided.

Because you are using the operating system of Mavericks, the first thing I want to check is the driver you are using. It seems to me that you could use the Apple Aiprint driver, it's a basic driver and would not give you the ability to duplex.

We'll click the Apple icon, open system preferences and select printing and scanning. In the print and Scan, click on the printer so that it is highlighted, then click the sign minus symbol below, this will remove the printer, but not the software. Click on the sign more and select "add another printer or a scanner. When you click on your printer you will see below and next to the 'use', it will probably say "Airprint", click Airprint and replace it with the Photosmart driver and then click Add.

Now try to look at the dialog box print in the program you are printing from and it should look different. You will see several options, including the two back.

Check the dialog box in the program for two back. Try printing and check the results.

I hope this helps.

  • HP LaserJet 5100dtn: 5100dtn HP does not print duplex on Mac OSX Yosemite

    Hello

    I recently bought a LaserJet 5100dtn. I work with Mac OSX Yosemite (10.10.3). I can't get my OS to recognize the duplex printing option. I have the duplexer attached to my printer, and I know it works because it printed a test page. I have the setting the paper handling > Duplex > WE * however, it keeps printing sided pages.

    The problem is maybe that my printer settings have "duplex" grayed out.

    I wonder if there is a problem with the printer driver? This printer is no longer manufactured (I bought mine used), then maybe there is a problem with the driver communicates duplex printing features?

    Any help you could offer would be great! Thank you in advance!

    Just post to say that I found the solution to this video on YouTube:

    https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=3KI6rfQ_PJ4

    The slight difference for users of Yosemite (this is an another OSX) is:

    Go to Printers & Scanners > click the printer you want to print duplex (in this case LaserJet 5100) > in the main window, click Options & supplies > leOptionsonglet > duplex unit.

    If you manually check 'Duplex' then 2-sided will not be grayed out when this printer is selected.

    Problem solved!

  • Print Officejet 6000 occupies more of the page when printing duplex

    My printer is set by default to duplex print. Whenever I use my 6000 Officejet to print two-sided document printing starts just below it should be at the bottom of this page which he finished much lower than when printing a single page (from the same document).

    For example: if I choose to print a page only from multiple paged it document prints fine, exactly as displayed on the screen. However if I choose to print pages 1 and 2 then printing starts at about 5mm below printing and print finishing 15 mm below where it should be. There is no difference in the width of the impression.

    Hi @Porky007,

    Welcome to the HP forums!

    I understand that you are having problems printing duplex and I will certainly do my best to help once I have gathered a little more information

    1. what version of Windows or Mac do you have?
    2. is the printer connected via USB or wireless?
    3. what program you print from? Have you tried another program?
    4 what even happened if you disable duplex printing?
    5. He made it for all pages or just one?

    Once I have that information I'll certainly look more in things for you!

    In the meantime, if you are using Windows, please download and run the HP print and Scan Doctor and see if it can detect problems for you

  • OfficeJet Pro 8500 A910: printer duplex option forget

    I have the duplex unit installed and that you have used successfully for some time.   Are some time I tried to print double-sided, but the option was not in the print window.  I went into the options of the printer and found that the duplex was not checked.  I checked and was able to print two-sided without problem.

    Some time later I tried again to duplex, and again once the option wasn't there.  I can reset the option, but very shortly after the OS 'forgets' setting.  Basically, I have to do every time I want to duplex.

    This was not always a problem.  It worked fine until a couple of months ago (and Mac OS updates several there).  I have two Macs connected over wi - fi for this printer and Mac have the problem.

    Hey @alhurley,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I hope you enjoy your stay here.

    I understand that you have a few options with the option of double-sided printing associated to your Officejet Pro 8500 all-in-One printer on your computer Mac OSX 10.11. I can help you with that.

    Here's how we should be able to fix this:

    1. Disconnect the USB cable if it is connected.
    2. Click your Apple system and print and Scan preferences icon.
    3. Hold down the command key and click the icon of your printer on the left.
    4. Click on reset printing system.
    5. Restart your Mac.

    Now connect the USB cable again if you removed previously. Otherwise:

    1. Go to the Apple preferences system, print, and Scan.
    2. Press the button "+" in the lower left corner.
    3. Select your printer from the list.
    4. In the box next to click on Airprint and select your printer from the list.
    5. Click on Add.

    One last thing to do now is click on Apple, updates of the system and all the necessary updates.

    This should fix the duplex printing option. If not then the next step would be to contact Apple as there is something weird is happening with your operating system.

    Please let me know if this solves your problem or if you have any other questions. If not, have a great week!

    Hello

    From my experience the alert only invites you for the margins unsupported and not by lack of support for Duplex printing are taken in charge by your printer.

    For duplex printing different margins used, click on continue to confirm the alert automatically changes the format of paper according to and printing should be performed.

    If you stil have a problem printing duplex, go to System Preferences > print & fax.

    Doublt click the printer, and then click the printer setup button.

    Make sure the duplex module is enabled on the driver tab.

    Please let me know of any other matter,

  • Help - I can't print duplex

    I can't print duplex using Acrobat Reader DC on my macbook. The mac has installed Elcapitan and I have the latest version of the CD player. I checked that I have the latest Brother printer drivers installed. can print double sided using other programs like Word ok. My printer is configured for double-sided by default. I tried to uninstall and reinstall Acrobat Reader DC but no difference.

    Solved. I already had the Brother printer to print on both sides by creating a new default setting. I solved the problem by changing the default setting to print on both sides - don't know why it worked but it didn't.

  • set up a Brother HL2170W to print wireless for Mac book Air

    I have a Brother HL 2170W printer that is able to print wireless.  Having problems becoming it implemented.  Do not know what I do and there seems to be too many options.  Y at - it an easy way to put in place to work with my Mac book Air...

    It took me 6 years to finally make it work on Mac OS X Sierra and Win10 wireless! I used to connect to the router with the Ethernet cable.

    FORGET what brother can offer about the installation, they make unnecessary difficult.

    1. first of all use your connection Ethernet (printer with router) and mark the IP address of the printer: 192.XXX. XX. XX

    2. use any browser, type the IP address in the search bar and press return.

    3. you will be to set up printer Web page, allowing you to make changes: SSID, WAP2 password, etc.

    You will need administrator access to change settings: user: admin password: access (can also be found in 'Help')

    Better to download and install the BRM clear admin tool to find the new IP when a wireless connection for the changes to come.

    The Mac automatically finds the printer and driver.

    Good luck.

  • Cannot print from my Mac OS, but my other computers work

    Have you experienced an impression of your Mac computer problem and it seems to work for everything else?

    I looked at several positions with regard to printing to a Mac.  PrintDoc seems has a solution that can solve most of the Mac printing problems when other devices work.

    1 reset the printing system by clicking on Mac OS x: how to reset the printing system and following the steps exactly.  This will reset just the printing system to a new beginning.  This works for 10.5 to 10.7.

    2. download and install the driver package Apple has here.  This package will work for most HP printers.  There is a link at the bottom of the page of the driver to check that your printer is included.  If this is not the case, check the HP support and page drivers at www.hp.com for download the driver package for your printer.

    This will solve the problems printing on Mac systems when the problem is related to the Mac.

    I just wanted to share this information, as it seems to be a problem that arises, and who has an easy solution.

    My c410 HP Premium Fax e-all-in-one won't copy (white spell page), only prints in faded gray even when the quality is set to 'best', will only print up and part side of page - excludes the middle of the page and analyze only a portion of the document.  A new black ink cartridge has been installed in a couple of weeks.  Supply levels say the black is full, all the color is 3/4 full and the photo ink is full.  The printer has been idle for a few weeks - I had to restart it returning to work, because he wouldn't (and is often not) respond to print requests.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 A910: Paper HP Officejet Pro 8500 jams when printing duplex

    Get a jam when trying to duplex.  I did "turned off, pull the power cord, wait 15 seconds and reconnect"., the printer will print a recto verso and then jam again. Actually, this time he printed two duplex sheetys then stuck.

    It works well until this problem.  Can't seem to fix it.

    Paper size was not a problem.  However, after this printer started leaving the ink on printed documents more jam problem, I just dumped the printer and bought a new HP Office Jet Pro 8625. so this postoing can be liquidated.  If the new printer start blobbing or blocking, I'll look for another provider.  Until that point, I was satisfied with the HP printers.  Thanks for your reply.

  • OfficeJet 7313 will not print duplex

    Hello

    I bought the 7313 while working in Abu Dhabi.  It worked great, but suddenly won't print duplex.  I am running Windows 7 Professional.  My concern to uninstall the software and the download again is that it will cause an error with the printer cartridges.  When I got back to the Canada I had to spend 2 hours on the phone with HP for re - program the printer to take number of North American ink cartridge.

    If I install the driver, which is only available on the English site of the Middle East, he booted the printer to find the number of cartridge in the Middle East?

    Any help is apprectiated.

    Thank you

    Thank you.  Yesterday, I ran the doctor to print HP who finds an update was necessary.  The update fixed duplex printing and don't mess with my cartridge types.  So problem solved!
