trying to print two of the same page on one page

spaceboy

I have a word document which is 1 page and I'm trying to print 2 copies on one A4 page and I cannot figure out the settings at all. The printer is a Canon MP560 and it's Office 2010 I'm using. Is it possible to do what I'm trying?

Spank

Yes, it capable of duplex printing (both sides).

Don't know how, but there will be a way of enabling it.

It's nothing to do with duplex printing. I want 2 of the same document on the one side. I get get it to print 2 on one side portrait orientation now (but that leaves the bottom half of the page blank and the document are half the size I want) but I need them to come out so you see them next to each other when you hold the paper landscape.

It's tedious trying to figure it one but playing with all the settings it seems so ridiculously unintuitive.

See if this helps

You can use it to delete the last page, the one with just one line on

Along the top, choose standard one page, 2 per page, 4 per page

One of the ways iPrint saves you money is by scaling down pages so that you can fit two or four pages on each sheet of paper. This can add up to a huge savings fast, especially when you have large print jobs.

Can you not copy and past the page onto another page in the same word doc (giving the same page twice in the same document) and then print using the duplex feature on your printer?

why not just turn the page round so it's landscape instead of asking it to print portrait to landscape, copy it onto a second page and then print 2 pages per sheet.




You're going to find it difficult to impossible to print 2 copies on one page as that would only be 1 copy printed twice. 2 copies = 2 pieces of paper unless you go duplex and it'll be one on the front and one on the back,.

OK seems I've have to do something like that. It's just amazing that in 2011 you cant seem to do this easily.

i think they just expect you to stick two copies on the page and then print it out... but it is Microsoft and they like missing out things that are useful or even taking them away.

Can be done easily.

In the printer driver software...
Select Properties, then Page Setup tab.
In the Page Layout section, choose Page Layout Printing from the dropdown list.
Click the Specify button and choose 2-page print from the dropdown list.
Click OK a number of times.

Thanks but it's still only printing one on a page (on the left hand side, the right hand side of the page is blank.
