Printing a booklet using Pages

Hi, I created a small booklet using pages current version 14.2, but I am having an issue trying to print it using pages. I looked at previous articles and followed the steps I don't have the same option on my printer. The steps that I followed are; FILE - PRINT - Layout - pages per sheet ( at this point my pages only go to 16, I don't have print as a booklet)

I am not sure if this is something I have to set up on my printer (Canon G3270).

Any help is greatly appreciated.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 15.1

Do you not have this booklet entry on the Print panel?

That should be a function of the printer's device driver providing that feature. Get and install the Oct 2024 drivers for the Canopn G3270. Click the software & drivers box and then select macOS Sequoia v15 in the Select the version box.

You may need to upgrade the firmware from that same Canon page above:

Hello VikingOSX,

Thank you for responding, I followed the steps provided above, did a restart but I still don't have booklet entry on the Print panel. I added a pic of what my Print panel, it stops at 16.

I just rechecked the Canon specifications sheet for the G3270 and it features simplex printing though they mention duplex matte printing and don't clarify further. You need a printer capable of duplex (two-sided) printing to print booklets, and it seems to me that if the printer supported duplex, Canon would have used that terminology instead of simplex.

You can check with Canon, but I have inferred from the Canon literature that the G3270 is not a double-sided printing solution and that would explain the absence of the "Print as Booklet" menu item.
