I have a workbook with 70 worksheets. I need to print each worksheet seperately, but duplex. I thought (and have done in the past) that when I entered any print settings for one worksheet ,that setting would apply to all worksheets (by clicking the print icon on the toolbar), as long as the workbook remained open. However, now the print settings do not save, and in order to get each worksheet to print duplex, I must manually go into the print dialog box and enter print settings for each sheet individually. Is this a bug in Excel 2003, or might it be an issue on the server side, since the printer is on a network?
Thanks in advance.

Right-click on first sheet tab and "select all sheets"
Do your setup on active sheet and will be done to all sheets.
In my experience, Excel has never transferred settings to all sheets unless all are selected.
But I have never had a printer that duplexed so could be missing out on something<g>

Thanks-but that solution was not successful. Selecting all the worksheets just grouped them and made all the worksheets print at once.
It had been working fine before-the print settings would transfer from sheet to sheet without any prompting from me, as long as the workbook was open. But a while back this function stopped working. The more I think about it, it may be a print server issue, so I'll go harass the ITCS guys.
Thanks!

It sounds like you've not ungrouped the sheets after setting the print settings. After selecting all sheets and setting print settings i.e. duplex etc, select a single sheet or right-click a tab and chose Ungroup Sheets.
