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?
Many thanks.

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.

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!

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