Printer

[whiskeryron]

I have a Epson Stylus Photo R 220 Printer & I would like if possible to be able to print pages on both sides of A4 paper, I have looked at my printer instructions & cannot find a reference to do it, can anyone please advise.

Although I don't think that printer has an automatic duplexer, it will print all the odd or even pages then wait while you put the paper back in the printer the other way up.

Should have read ABe's link... it does say that :)

Thanks ABerrant & you Chuck, I am tackling it slowly ( finding it a little difficult but hopefully will get there in the end) even the link involves 10 pages of A4 paper & I need to cut the wastage out.

Sorry guys still not with it. I open link kindly sent by ABerrant then it suggests that I click on print icon on the Taskbar ( no icon on Taskbar) then look in Windows start menu. I have uninstalled all printer ref from Control Panel & re installed from Disc supplied. Still I cannot find Printing Preferences page. ( I cannot even check ink levels )
My system is Windows 7, I am at a loss to understand why I can't do a simple check like that.

CTRL + P should bring up the print box.

then select preferences at the top, click on the finishing or page layout tab and select double sided printing.

(if printing from chrome you'll have to select "print using system dialogue after doing CTRL + p)

Hi Chuck, CTRL+P brings up the following

That's the correct dialogue, the problem is it's showing "epson ESC/p standard" as the printer, which is the generic epson driver, not the one for your specific model of printer.

If you look in the printer drop down list is the correct model listed there?

If it is select that and then press the properties button and you should be able to select double sided printing.

If the correct model isn't listed in the drop down then you'll need to install the correct drivers..

Sorry to be a pain. Where is the drop down list ?

[whiskeryron]

Tried downloading driver 6.53 from the link you supplied, pop up says
The Printer Driver and/or utilities cannot be installed in your Windows system.

Do you have 64bit windows then?

The drop down is where it says "epson esc/p standard 2"

That last link did it thanks a lot Chuck.
