When I print or "Print Booklet" in Adobe InDesign, I don't see any options about printing full duplex (both sides of the paper). I'm using a Mac with a Brother MFC-J6910DW printer. Does Adobe InDesign not support full duplex printing?

Duplex printing is a function of your printer and it's associated drivers and software. Indesign simply prints pages. It is the printer's job to duplex them if it has that capability.

The Brother MFC-J6910DW specifications do state it will duplex. You simply need to tick the option in the print dialog. THere should be an option for "2-Sided" or "Duplex" in the print dialog box provided you've got the drivers installed.

I've got the right drivers installed off the brother.com website, but there's no 2-sided or duplex printing option. The print settings dialog is very simple, very few options. – at. Mar 24 '12 at 20:21
In Indesign click Print... then the "Printer..." there should be a Two-sided option there. – Scott Mar 24 '12 at 21:29
Wow!! how the heck did I miss this before?!?! I thought I looked absolutely everywhere for that 2-sided option! Thanks. – at. Mar 24 '12 at 22:53
