So you are using a network printer? Ok then why are you using Postscript 2 
? 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.
