Preps not printing B_Sides

Does anyone know why preps wont print B_sides? For example, we have a 16 pg - sheetwise. We print to PS file and output as ".job_Sg01_SdA.sig" and so on. Normally, it would print an A and a B side. Now it only prints an A side. I don't know if somebody screwed with the settings or what? Baffled...

Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks-
 
In the left hand side of the print dialog there is a check box for "specify print range". If this is checked, then there is access to a pop up menu half way down: select "Front and Back". Or are you perhaps using a one sided template?

If those are not it, take the day off.

Specify print range is off is not highlighted. I did double check the template to make sure it was sheetwise. The thing is, we are using templates that we have used before many times. I even pulled a previous 2 sided job, one that we've already ran and archived, opened the impo file and tried printing. I got the same results. Very weird. I don't work on Preps everyday now, the person who does says they didn't mess with anything, settings etc.. Not sure about that though.

Thanks for the reply...

Hello. Why you don´t do a favor to your company, and to you to save time,lost of money . . . And change your workflow to Heidelberg ? Do you know Prinect Signastation 4 ?

Ok. Thanks padrao. That helps me out a lot.

Anyways, I am able to print b sides by specifying print range and selecting Back. Still, it won't print "Front and Back" automatically like it used to. Not sure why...
 
Kind of sounds like a device setup issue. When printing from preps, the device setup is important, possibly the previous operator switched between setups like I do often.
