I am trying to configure a printer (Canon Pixma mg3150) to my mac... everything looks fine, I can print a page of 1 side. The specification of the printer shows auto duplex print, but the Two Sided is not permitted from the PDF viewer as follows:

Does anyone know if the printer really permits auto duplex print?

The obvious questions: does duplex printing work in other programs? Do you have the latest drivers? Did you try different presets? – lupincho Apr 17 '12 at 21:00

Is there a "Paper Handling" choice where we see "Layout" in your picture? – GEdgar Apr 17 '12 at 21:53
Indeed, there is a choice Duplex Printing & Margin which responds to my need, thank you very much... – SoftTimur Apr 17 '12 at 22:40

Go into the system preferences, Print & Scan, click on the printer, and click "Options & Supplies...". Under the "Driver" tab, check and see if there's some sort of option to turn a duplexer on & off.
