Hello Everybody

I have Open Office 4.01 connected to a Brother MFC-4710DW printer & I would like to do duplex printing so I can save on the number of trees being used for printing.

My printer is able to do duplex printing

Unfortunately I have not been able to find a setting on Open Office which I can use to set up duplex printing.

Your help in this matter would be appreciated.

All The Best

Normally that is a setup in the printer driver that you use in your Linux to setup the printer. Probably under "Options" or "Properties." In OpenOffice 4.0.0 under the Print command is a Printer Settings menu, then Properties, that allows you to set duplex printing. Don't know about 4.1.

You don't say what OS you are using, but if you are using CUPS for printing, the default printer settings can be adjusted there. In your browser, type the URL

   http://localhost:631/

To get into CUPS and add/delete/modify printer settings. If the printer has duplex, then it can be set "ON" as default.

As was defined by Doug, in OpenOffice, try

   File -> Printer Settings -> (select the printer) -> Properties

To enable duplex. Also, Selecting the "Device" tab will show a list of printer properties that can be changed. There should be a "Duplexer Installed" option, or some such name. If it is not installed, then you can select the duplexer option and then a list of "Installed" or "Not Installed" should show up in the right pane. You should be able to "install" it there.

But the best thing is to enable it in the CUPS driver as default. If you are not using CUPS, then I am not sure this applies.
Hope this helps.
