I can do this easily on my Epson 740 by printing odd numbered pages first and then simply flipping the printed pages over to print the even numbered pages. What i find when i've done this however isn't very attractive. I guess i don't like seeing the ghost of the back of the page i'm looking at. This is bound to happen with inkjet prints and plain paper. What kind of paper do you use? For saving both paper (which is generally very inexpensive) and ink (which can be quite costly), i prefer to print in "two-up" format. PYX
