W2003 - booklet printing with manual duplex Robert M Jones <robert53newsgroups-ms[ at ]yahoo.co.uk> 14.07.2006 10:42:27 HP Deskjet 710C, using the Windows XP (Home) driver and manual duplex box ticked in Word print dialog. There is no HP Deskjet driver that will work with XP. printing an A5 booklet on A4 paper, using the Word booklet option in page setup - I have tried all sorts of setups but every time the booklet prints with the reverse pages in the wrong order and I have worked out that I have to re-order the sheets of paper before loading them into my printer for the second run. I have tried various combinations for the Front and Back tick boxes - one clear, both clear, one ticked, both ticked, but they either have no effect on the "reversed" arrangement or result in just one page of a 16 page booklet printing. Collate makes no difference. Is it possible for Word 2003 to print my booklets on my printer without me having to manually reorder the paper before feeding it back in?

I'm not sure I can do that - all I have on screen at that stage is the reminder to reload the tray for the second side - the print dialog has disappeared by then and clicking anything other than that message box is not allowed. Where would I be making that setting "Reverse print order" and could I access it after printing one side? The collate command made no difference. Front pages on top/Back pages on top - tried all combinations with weird results - none worked. Every combination either resulted in a booklet with the reverse sides in the wrong order, OR just an interrrupted print with only one booklet page printed on one half of one side of one page and then the print job finishing (not hanging - finishing). I'm afraid I am new to XP, new to this XP (degraded) HP Deskjet 710C printer driver and also new to Word 2003 so all the steep learning curves are making me fall over. (Win98SE and Word 97 come back, all is forgiven) I've got my workaround of just re-collating the sheets manually between the two halves of the job - but something is obviously not right if I have to do that. If its any consolation - I couldn't get Publisher 97 to do the job either - and on my Win98SE/Office 97/Pub 97 setup that was how I used to do booklets. I was hoping Office/Word 2003 could handle the job. -- 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

Re: W2003 - booklet printing with manual duplex "Suzanne S. Barnhill" <sbarnhill[ at ]mvps.org> 14.07.2006 22:18:00 You're describing why I don't try to use the "Book fold" feature. If you still had the Print dialog, you could click on Options... to change the print order, but it seems that's out of the question. What I can suggest is that you print the pages single-sided, then use a copier to duplex them. There's probably some better solution, and perhaps someone else will provide it, but I don't know it. -- Suzanne S.

It looks like the bookfold is "broken" with my particular printer set up.
