manual duplex and page order problems Word 2003
I have an HP Deskjet 710C, using an MS XP-Home printer driver (there is
no updated HP driver available other than that in XP and the driver offers very limited printing options as compared to the original HP driver I used on Win 98SE until I "up?"graded) Duplex printing is driving me spare! The printer dialog offers a manual duplex option but is unable to handle page order unless I manually resort the pages after printing the first side. Exactly the same result occurs with "collate" checked and unchecked Manual duplex appears to offer no advantages over simply printing the odd pages, then resorting and printing the even pages. I suspect I know the answer to this - but is there any way I can print duplex without having to manually resort all my pages before re-inserting in the printer for the reverse side to print?

Just a thought, but try setting the "Reverse Print Order" for one set of
your prints. (Tools, Options, Print) When using Reverse Print Order, Word will print the final page first, and then the next to last, etc. You may need to play with it just a little, but since you can get it to work performing a manual shuffling of your paper, perhaps you can let Word shuffle for you. Good Luck. -- Dawn Crosier Microsoft MVP "Education Lasts a Lifetime" This message was posted to a newsgroup, Please post replies and questions to the group so that others can learn as well.

Good Luck. Ah - now that was interesting. I've ticked the box for "Options for Duplex Printing" "Front of the sheet" - and that seems to do the shuffle for me - but now although the right pages are printed on the reverse of the right pages, all the pages need shuffling AFTER the duplex print is done, to get them right side up and the page numbers in the right order. I'll try the Tools -Options - reverse order next... - made no difference - document still needed shuffling after the print job. I think I'll stick at that unless anyone has any other suggestions. It looks like the options are either shuffle in the middle of the job or at the end - and the latter is much much safer! -- Rev Robert M Jones, Wimborne Baptist Church, UK http://www.wimborne-baptist.org.uk Free trial of Mailwasher Pro - effective email spam filter - (commission goes to our partners in Bulgaria) http://fta.firetrust.com/index.cgi?id=420 |

What happens if you reverse the print order for the first side, then turn it
off for the second side? -- Suzanne S.
