Access 2010 on a MAC OSX 10.10 running Parallels Problem with Duplex printing

[detaylor1242]

I am running Access 2010 on a MAC running OSX10.10 running Parallels. I have several reports that are quite lengthy and I cannot get them to print in Duplex. I am printing to a HP Office Jet Pro 8600 which is full duplex capable. One of the reports is about 50 pages so I am burning up a lot of extra paper.

Any help / suggestions greatly appreciated.



I tested several solution from the web that work with word but can't find anything for Access.

IIRC, you need to go to your Report and in design view adjust the Printer Settings. I think you get there from Page Setup. You can assign a specific printer and make all of the fancy Printer Property settings from there.

Thanks for your response. I tried this but there is no place to select duplex printing.

That is interesting. Reports behave funny. They want to store info about how they are rendered in the Report Object, itself. To do this you need to go to page setup. I realize you have tried this already. But, it may be worth looking at it again. This time, understand that you need to assign a specific printer and go after that printer's drivers and port.

I do not know what it looks like on your computer. The last time I used Apple machines was when osX upgrade came out. On my machine, I have a place where I can go to for Page Setup. When I am there, I can opt to connect the Report Object to a specific printer. When I do this, I can access the "Printer's Drivers". If the drivers and printer port your printer is installed on allow for Duplex, you should see that option here.
