Duplex printing error in Word 2007

[KalamityKJ]

When I try to do duplex printing in Word 2007 Beta 2 I have a problem. If I
print 1 document it works fine. If I then try to print another document it
ignores the duplex setting in the printer properties and prints single sided.
To overcome this I have to shutdown the document and application and then
restart it all, print 1 document, shutdown, etc, etc. Other than that I
quite happy with 2007

When you go to File, Print, in the Printer options box, is Collate checked?

Thanks Terry

I haven't checked this, but I assumed, perhaps wrongly that this would
perform the way it did in Word 2000 and 2002. Using Word 2000 and 2002 I
have never had this checked for the particular print job (180 page crane
manuals) and it has always worked perfectly.

Well printer drivers have never had the best integration into Word, so I'm
not surprised by what you experienced. The Collate option should be checked
for it to work properly. Try it and let us know if it does work and you need
more help.
