You need to send it your printer direct as the Postscript 2 driver does not actually support flipping the page for duplex (Double sided printing). Does your printer support PCL5 or 6 or even better Postscript/Bscript, etc.? What model/make of printer is it. Richard Darby has various Duplex drivers that can used with your network printer - available via !Store they are free. -- Chris Hughes Don't miss this years Wakefield Show 21st May 2022 - we have move to Cedar Court Hotel, Bradford check the latest information at www.wakefieldshow.org.uk
