"Having problems duplex printing" Having problems duplex
wrote in message
...
I am having trouble getting the printer to print on both sides using
duplex
printing.
I am printing a document from Microsoft Word 2003.

I have tried the following, which fails to print on both sides of the
paper.
Print Options clicked on the checkboxes 'front of the sheet' and 'back
of
the sheet' (under the options for duplex printing).

I have a co-worker who can print to this printer, so I know that the
printer
is capable of duplex printing. It is a Xerox printer. However, she has
different settings in her 'page layout' tab that allow her to print to
both
sides.

Please help!
