How to print the RHS page of a spread directly from InDesign?

[Gerben Wierda]

I like to print the current spread as two pages on my printer, just to have a simple paper output to look at. So, I hit Cmd-P, but I can't find out how to get the RHS printed. It is unclear how to tell ID to print both pages (how to define a range). E.g. the range says "A4 V:146" (must be an old name for the range from an import long ago, the format is actually Letter, not A4), I can try to turn it into A4 V:147, but I still get page 146 from the printer.

How can I quickly print a small range of pages directly from ID itself, without going through creating a full PDF first?

On the General panel, check Spreads instead of Pages.

I already tried that of course, but it did not work

I'd suggest restoring your InDesign preferences:

Trash, Replace, Reset, or Restore the application Preferences

If that doesn't work, I'd try saving the file as an IDML and reopening and reprinting. The file could have become corrupted:

Clean corrupt files by exporting to .IDML or .INX

Select the spread(s) in the Pages panel and use the Pages panel menu to Print Spread

The Print dialog will be pre-filled, but check it:
