I recently bought a new printer, a Brother DCP-L2550 DW. It's a monochrome multi function printer that uses airprint. I also recently upgraded my Mac Os to Sonoma 14.2.1 and upgraded all my Affinity programs to the latest versions. Now, when I go to print with this printer, the option to print double-sided is no longer available. The only way I can do double-sided printing is to export my file to a pdf and then print it from Preview, which does allow double-sided printing. I searched the Brother website to see whether there were upgrade printer drivers I could download , specifically for Sonoma, but there were none. The website suggested using Airprint which I believe the printer does automatically, So, at this point, I don't know if the problem resides with the printer, the OS, or the Affinity programs. Can anyone enlighten me on this question and suggest something I can do to allow double-sided printing through the programs themselves without having to export my files as PDFs? Thanks.

Hi, I create program guides for shows. They are printed on 8.5 x 11 paper in booklet form where each page is 8.5 x 5.5. I have done this many times in the past with Publisher. When I view it on the screen everything looks great, but now when I go to print, or export to PDF the graphics and text shrink on the page. I even reopened the file I created a few months ago that printed and exported correctly, but now it too shrinks. I have attached screen shot showing the view in Publisher, and the view when exported to PDF. Note that since I used booklet form when exporting the pages were rearranged, but all the pages are shrunk down when printed or exported. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thank you.
