This documentation will remain until all the Canon printers have departed You must manually set your Mac to take advantage of the duplex printing offered on Kenyon's Canon printers. Follow these instructions to enable duplex printing on a Mac running OS X:. Check for printer drivers. Open System Preferences and click the Print & Scan icon in the second row. In the list of printers that appears, click on the printer you wish to set for duplex printing.

In the description of the printer that appears, be sure that the precise model of the printer is listed under Kind. If Generic PostScript Printer is listed as the printer driver, download the driver from the LBIS website.

Delete the printer by clicking the minus button under the list of printers, and then re-add it choosing the correct driver. Enable duplex printing.

Open an existing multi-page document from any program. Go the File menu and choose Print. In the window that appears, click on the centered pull down menu and choose Finishing. Make sure to select Long-edge binding from the Binding Location menu. When you click Print, your document will be printed on both sides of the page.NOTE: If options under the Two-Sided heading are gray and inaccessible, return to System Preferences Print & Scan delete the printer by clicking the minus button under the list of printers, then click on the plus button to re-add the printer. To save duplex printing as default.

Merge pull request 20505 from locking-for-mac. Set 2-sided Printing and Long-edge binding from the Finishing options. Click on the pull down menu on the top labeled Presets and choose Save current settings as a preset. Enter a name for the printing preset you are creating, such as Duplex and click OK.

Use the Duplex Printing button to print on both sides of the page. Choose Print on Both Sides, Flip Pages on Long Sides. Don’t bother with the Short Sides option unless you plan on binding your document that way.

If you don’t see the Print on Both Sides options, you have to manually print. Make other settings as necessary on the Print screen. Click the big Print button to print your document. Both sides of the page are printed. Word (Windows actually) isn’t that smart when it comes to knowing which printers are duplex and which aren’t.

Alas, when Windows doesn’t recognize your duplex printer as such, there’s little you can do.
