Booklet Printing On Mono-Laser Printer
Take a look at the FinePrint utility at http://fineprint.com/fptutorials/ .
It does booklets – on almost any printer, it seems - and much more. I use it since many years with my inkjet because it works better that the booklet feature of the printer driver. Matti P. Well - I tried to download a trial and a free (preferable) version of fineprint to see how it works. Could not get a copy - even after I by-passed all the extra download garbage, which is not easy. Might I ask you it you can post a download URL? XieXie Wei I downloaded it from http://fineprint.com/release/fp810.exe . Did not see any download garbage, and the file looks, as a file, pretty much like the previous version that I have installed. Matti P. |

Matti P. Thanks Matti I was able to download and install version 8. As I said I am waiting to try a Brother EHL-2270DW laser that I just bought off Staples, but do not have yet. So, I thought to try it on my Artisan AIO inkjet which has automatic duplex capability that I have used for duplex printing, and that works nice. But I had never tried it for booklet printing. I just used Fineprint. I have a result I don't understand. I have a 13-page PDF document that used 4 sheets of paper, which seems fine. But the pages are as follows: Sheet 1 Side 1 left half blank (correct) , right half document page 1 (correct) Sheet 1 Side 2 upside down (wrong) left side blank (wrong), right half document page 2 (wrong). I figure it should have been Sheet 1 Side 2 right side up(of course), left half document page 2, right side blank. Sheet 2 Side 1 left half blank (correct) , right half document page 3 (correct) Sheet 2 Side 2 upside down (wrong) left side document page 13, right half document page 4 (wrong). I figure it should have been Sheet 2 Side 2 right side up (of course), left half document page 4, right side document page 13. and so on. What do you think I am dong wrong?

XieXie Wei Did you teach FinePrint the paper handling characteristics of your particular printer? It is now some years since I started to use FinePrint, but I remember that after I installed FinePrint, it asked me to do a test print of several pages and to tell it which way the pages come out. *Only* after this did it print correctly on *my particular printer*. This is because it cannot know the paper handling characteristics of all printers on the market and the driver settings (like "print last page first") currently in effect. Matti P. |

Booklet Printing On Mono-Laser Printer
I just finished trying pages 8-15 of a different .PDF file on my Artisan inkjet AIO, which as I said seemingly has 'booklet' capability. It does have 'automatic duplex printing'. My idea was to print one sheet of paper, 4 document pages on front and back each. I did it both directly to the Artisan and to Fineprint. The results were the same and wrong. I got one sheet of paper just fine. But, on the backside, (1) each of the four document pages needs to be rotated 180 degrees, and switched left and right with the document page beside it. That's how I see it anyway. I am stuck trying to correct this. XieXie Wei I have never experienced a problem like this. I use a HP Officejet K7100 (manual duplex only) which has its own booklet capability, which works fine apart from the fact that it tends to scale the output in ways I do not want. When I do booklets via the printer driver or via FinePrint, the page order and orientation is always correct. When I use FinePrint, I let it to do all paper handling; printer driver is set to plain one-sided printing. That is all my experience. Anything more would be guesses, and this is the only guess I have at the moment: are you sure that you do not rotate the sheet 180 degrees when inserting them for backside printing? Matti P. |

XieXie Wei- When you do double sided printing, there should be a choice of how the document is to be bound: short edge or long edge. Whichever one you have it set for, try the other. My guess is that it is set for long edge binding and should be set for short edge. Fred I have concluded that most of my problems with booklet printing occur when I print 4 document pages per 81/2X11 sheet side. When I just print 2 doument pages per side, the results are perfect. This uses twice the paper of course, but it works, and my frustrations decrease. Thanks for the advices. Xiexie nimen Wei --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
