Where has the "booklet" option gone for printing?

Where has the booklet printing option gone?

Others have it, and they say they have an option called "booklet" in this drop down menu below, while mine does not have it as you can see here:

Anyone have any idea what I can do to get the "booklet" option in my drop down menu?

Thanks

What has happened to booklet printing in Pages 12.2 I use MacBook Air with OS 13.0 (22A380) and Pages 12.2 I am used to printing booklets from Pages but the update has hidden a vital step. File>Print>PDF>Create Booklet ... all still there. Again: File>Print but there is no option to print 2-sided with Booklet layout as there used to be. The online documentation does not describe what I see in the Print dialog. Please help

Print Booklet in Mac ?! Hi there, read several answers, like finding Booklet in the print menu in Pages (dont have that, running os12.6.1 with Pages 12.2.1) also, obvs I can 'print' a PDF and open it in Acrobat DC v. 2022 and open the Print Menu and click on Booklet - but then I can't export as PDF; windows allows for this and my copy shop does the conversion for me but it would be nice to do this on my all powerful Mac with all the $$ premium software I have and already paid for instead of having to buy an additional app for 20$ (booklet 2) Oh, or my favorite - manually arranging the pages in PREVIEW anyone ?! WTF Apple...(:

How to create booklet printing? I used to have Booklet setting available by default. After I Erased all Content & Settings it disappeared and I don't know why. Before, I could go to Print > (scroll to the bottom) Print Using the System Dialog… > select that central drop down that read the browser I'm in and choose > Layout > Booklet! Now it's gone! How do I get it back? I can see the setting available when I Show Presets, but in this view there is nothing that can be modified, plus there are no print settings available when I go into System Preferences > Printers. Printer drivers have always been installed automatically. I can see the driver and I have the same printer. Before you recommend visiting for software I may have had installed, I can confirm I never done this as it says, "There are no results for the OS Version you selected." just like before on my printer brand website.... I need to know why I can clearly see the word "Booklet" in uneditable "Show Presets" but the option has completely disappeared from the drop down for layout! Where else would I change this?

It is at the bottom of that same two-sided selection on my macOS Monterey 12.6.2 for my duplex Samsung laser printer.

Maybe you need to update the operating system, Pages (12.2.1), and your Brother printer driver.
