    Duplex Printing problem CS4

    isvara78 Community Member

      I am  having problems printing from CS4.

      In my case I cannot print in the (A4) duplex mode on my Lexmark C532dn Printer.

      I have checked through the Print set up screen in CS4 indd and as far as I can see it is the same as in my CS3

      I have also checked through the iMac print windows

      Whatever I do it only prints one side.

       

      My work around is to export to CS3 and print in that program.

      The problem with this is there are differences in the formatting so the text needs to be checked carefully.

      Any help would be appreciated.

       

      I may be missing something obvious so I will continue to work on it.

      However there may be others with similar print difficulties

          Have you gone all the way into the print driver setup from the ID print dialog to enable duplex printing?

           

          A better solution, if the answer is yes, would be to export to PDF and print from Reader or Acrobat rather than exporting as .inx and printing from CS3.

            I am sure it is a CS4 (6.0.4) problem - OSX10.6.2 - Lexmark 532dn latest drivers

             

            CS3 prints correctly,

            CS1 prints correctly

            Word prints correctly

            Nisus prints correctly

            Cheap Imposter prints correctly

             

            I have worked the whole line from program to the printer itself to no avail

            CS4 will not print duplex on the Lexmark.

             

            I am trusting in some updates - from somewhere.

             

            Well the worse news today is CS5 -  I hope Adobe can sort out CS4 before they lose interest in us!  Too much money at stake.

             

            I notice I can export to rtf via Acrobat!  Back several steps but it works!

             

             

            Please if you are able to print in a duplex mode on a iMac or a MacBookPro with CS4 let me know.

              Hi Well I seem to be posting to myself

               

                I have resolved the problem.

               

              On the CS4 print setup window there is a Paper Size box  I automatically let indd place A4 in this space.

               

              On impulse I changed this from 'A4' to 'Defined by Printer' and save the page as a preset.

               

              I was able to print duplex.

               

              I don't expect miracles but my investment may be saved.

               

              I am truly amazed this simple solution is readily available
