I have an HP 1022 printer attached to my Mac OS X Lion.
When I try to print a 4-page PDF file from Preview or Adobe Reader, it prints pages 1 and 3 and then all 3 lights on the HP 1022 printer start blinking.
I suspect that perhaps the printer or the system is in some kind of manual double-side printing mode, but I could not find where I can turn it on or off using the Mac OS printing dialogs.
How can one control manual double-side printing on a Mac OS X Lion?
If you're looking to turn an old iMac into a print server so that you can print from another Mac over the network, there's no need to mess around with cups or Debian.
Just install Mac OS X, then go into System Preferences -> Sharing then turn on Printer sharing. From there you can select which printers to share and which users can access them.
On your other Macs, you can add these printers in the System Preferences -> Print & Fax pane by clicking the "+". If both computers are on the same network, your Macs should automatically detect the shared printers on your iMac.
If you think its buffer issue then try to print from page 1 to 6, then 7 to 10, then 11 to 15. You should have the options.

Then click the Show Details in the print Dialogue

You can go to
Print & Scanin the system preferences and selectOptions & Suppliesfor your printer. In there, you should see an option forDuplex Unit(if your printer supports it). If that is checked, you can use the automatic double-side printing (by checking theTwo-sidedbox next toCopies). If not, or if that option is unavailable, you can't.In case you can't select that option, here's how you can manually print double-sided pages.
Manual double-side printing
You can control manual double-side printing (i.e., you physically turn the sheets over) using the
Paper Handlingsetting in the print dialog.If you select
Paper Handling, you'll find aPages to Printoption that lets you print either only the odd pages or only the even pages (default is both). To print double side manually, selectOdd Onlyfirst and when it finishes printing, flip the pages over and selectEven OnlyInstead of flipping each page over to its blank side before printing the even pages, you have a more convenient option of flipping the entire block of pages, so that the last sheet is on top (useful when you have a lot of pages to be printed). With this, you can then choose
ReverseinPage Orderto print the even numbered pages backwards. (Note: be careful that if you have an odd-number of pages in total, you might have to leave the last one out before printing the even ones.)
