Missing Booklet Option in Preview

The “Booklet” option in Preview on macOS Sequoia isn’t a built-in feature but one exposed by your printer’s driver rather than Preview itself  ; if you only see generic choices like “Any Printer” or “16 pages per sheet,” you’re almost certainly using the basic AirPrint driver, which doesn’t include booklet-imposition settings  . To restore booklet printing, open System Settings > Printers & Scanners, remove your existing printer, click Add, and in the Use (or Print Using) dropdown select the printer’s vendor-supplied driver instead of AirPrint  ; when you next open Preview’s Print dialog and look under Layout > Pages per Sheet, the Booklet checkbox should reappear at the bottom  . If your printer’s driver still won’t expose it, you can alternatively use apps like Adobe Acrobat Reader/Pro (Print → Layout → Booklet) or Microsoft Word (Print → Book Fold) to generate a booklet layout  .

Are you using the same print driver as before. I think Booklet printing isn’t a macOS feature, but a printer or app feature. I don’t know if the AirPrint drivers support it. Apps like Adobe Reader/Acrobat and Word have booklet printing options.

Yes, I'm using the vendor-supplied print driver, not AirPrint. I added the Ricoh MP 5054 PS printer using its IP address and the LPD protocol, and selected the official driver provided by Ricoh during setup. This model does not support AirPrint, so the basic AirPrint driver was never used. As a workaround, I tried printing a booklet using Adobe Acrobat, which does offer that layout option. However, the print quality is significantly lower compared to printing the same PDF through Preview, even with similar settings like two pages per sheet.

We can see your responses to other people. No need to repeat the same response to everybody.

What print driver were you using before on the other Mac?

It's possible Ricoh changed that in the driver created for Sequoia.
