Using HP2300 dtn with MS Office 2003 Pro.

Issue job to printer from MS Word 2003.
--Document has an ODD number of pages
--Select MULTIPLE copies to be printed.

--- First page of SECOND copy prints on BACK of LAST PAGE of FIRST copy.

--- Does not break between documents.

IF Print icon is pressed multiple times -- document prints correctly.

I don't guarantee it would make any difference, but if you do something to
let Word know that you are duplexing. Tthe usual tips are "Mirror margins"
(even if the margins are the same) and "Different odd and even" headers
(even if the headers are all the same). I assume the obstacle to just adding
a blank page at the end is that you are using Page X of Y numbering?

You might also check to see if there is some option in the printer
Properties that would correct this. Perhaps inserting a separator page would
do the trick.

There is a 'sign-off' at the end of the document. There can be nothing
printed beyond that point. Also, there is an Automatic Heading from page to
page, the blank page can not have a heading because of the sign-off on the
previous page. I'll look at the Properties and see if anything looks likely.

Thnx

Well, I did just enough editing on that message to make garbage of it. What
I meant to write was:

I don't guarantee that it would make any difference, but it might help to do
something to let Word know that you are duplexing. The usual tips are
"Mirror margins"
(even if the margins are the same) and "Different odd and even" headers
(even if the headers are all the same).

Note also that you *could* insert a section break (next page) at the end of
the signature page, disable Same as Previous in the header, and clear the
header from the last page/section.
