Are you sure that you haven't been putting a manual Page Break at the end of
every page but have accidentally been inserting a Section Break by mistake?
If in File, Page Setup the Section Start AT is set to Next Odd Page, then
everytime you insert the Section Break, it will skip the even page and start
on the next odd page. Although you won't see the even pages in Print Layout
View, they should show un in Print Preview and the printer will 'eject' a
blank page for every even page.
Alternatively, in the Printer Setup, you have changed the advanced settings
to eject a blank page between every print out.
