Printing with MS Word: single side only.
In Dorico, with
and 1-2 as page range, it prints duplex. What could be wrong?
The printer web page says
= Double side: OFF
This is often discussed here on the forum. Please check any of the earlier threads, e.g. this one:
The video is still available:
Yes, I watched it, but localhost:631 does not work
We are talking about different things.
in the VIDEO he says: Type localhost:631 in the browsers.
I try both Chrome and Safari - both fail accessing localhost, as shown above with errors messages.
I solved it, although the instructions in the video are wrong, at least today, 2023.
Sorry – I see, it’s a security issue. I found a tip about enabling the CUPS web interface on Mac here.
The strange thing was I had to “turn it around”. I had to type the Terminal command before entering the address. It might have changed for the various Mac OS. I’m glad it was solvable.
I have to bring up this thread, even though it has been discussed (reproduced) many times.
I use a HP printer. Print setting is left as default - printing “one side only”.
Problem 1: It is printing duplex actually.
Problem 2: As clicking the “Print” button appears to have no effect (perhaps data is sending to the printer, but no blocking or loading indicator there), I click the “Print” button again. Eventually, 2 copies are printed in duplex.
I don’t think changing the Mac’s default setting here makes any sense, when all other applications are printing perfectly, and Dorico is showing “one side only” explicitly rather than “System Default”
The combination of the two mentioned issues really bring problems. Now I have to export it as PDF first, then print in the PDF viewer in order to avoid Dorico’s printing issues. Feel free to ignore me, as there is a workaround to not using Dorico.
When I encounter oddities in printing on my mac (Tahoe 26.4.1), I just used the system print dialog. There’s a button at the bottom left corner of the screen to access that in Dorico.
