ralfEdmund Posted December 22, 2019 Posted December 22, 2019 Hi, this is probably not a bug in Publisher but rather a problem on ISO Layer 8 (me). I prepared a Publisher with a Christmas greeting card with custom page settings for my little daughter. The page size has to be 4 x 6 inches (10 x 15 cm) to match the size of the photo printed as the cover of the card. That worked fine in Publisher - just the way I've expected it to work. But it failed printing double-sided on my Epson ET-7750 Ink-Jet printer. I've tried to print with various settings in the print-panel, i.e. with an without printing marks, binding at short and long border, ... But with each different setting I've tried, everything I've got was to pages both printed on one side only. Finally I resigned - because the clock to Christmas ist ticking - and simply glued both pages together. That was an easy and labour intensive workaround, but not the outcome expected. I've attached the document as a reference. Can someone explain to me, what I did wrong? BTW: the printer is able to print double-sided. Many thanks in advance an a merry Christmas, Ralf Paulina Weihnachten2.afpub
walt.farrell Posted December 22, 2019 Posted December 22, 2019 This won't help directly, as I'm on Windows not MacOS. But, in my experience the Print dialog in Publisher doesn't directly support double-sided printing. It is possible, but it's done by drilling down into the device-specific settings, not by setting something directly in the Publisher dialog: As I understand it, on MacOS Publisher uses the standard Mac printing dialog. Maybe there's something similar there. -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.

Double sided printing on most Epson home printers only works for plain paper in sizes US Letter, A4 & B5. Other sizes & paper types such as photo paper are single sided.
