Printing a doc in two passes

[Cristiano]

I have a 4-page Word doc and I'd like to print it using front and retro (2
sheets).
First, I print the 2 odd pages, then I should print the 2 even pages:

1) msgbox "Switch on the printer"
2) print the odd pages
3) msgbox "Put the printed pages in the paper loader"
4) print the even pages

but the printer doesn't start to print because of the msgbox at step 3.
Any idea?

Thanks
Cristiano

Hi Cristiano,

Set background printing to false so that the message box in 3 will not be
displayed until the first print operation is complete.

Now it works.

Thank you
