Duplex printing

[molemenacer]

Hi all,

I am having a lot of trouble with printing duplex(double sided) pages. I know the printer can print duplex because i have from it. Is there a way to set the setting before the print is sent to the printer?

I am using the PrintOut function to print to a network printer.

Any guidance would be appreciated

Thanks in advance.

Did you see this already?

Yes, i have found and looked at that and tried the options. However, they didn't work and the file was still coming out on two pages.

Were these the options you tried? http://support.microsoft.com/?id=194306 (from the link in last post cjarrd gave)

I tried the CanDuplex and Duplex properties but it didn't make any difference,

PrintDialogue.PrinterSettings.Duplex = Printing.Duplex.Vertical

Wouldn't the other option requrie a huge rewrite of the current code? something i do not have time to go.

I thought you said you were using the automation function PrintOut? That has nothing to to with the PrinterSettings using by .Net PrintDocument. Investigate the 3 automation tweaks in MS article.

OK, i am giving the first method a go. When it talks about the print escape codes, is there a way to find out what other printers have as theres?
