weekly calendar, duplex printing, side-flip

[RPAuerbach]

I have a new Lexmark Pro805 printer. When trying to print a WEEKLY STYL
(2 pgs/wk) calendar in duplex mode (as half-sheet booklet), Outloo
[2003] insists that it print as "top-flip" (as the Lexmark dialog bo
calls it), i.e, the reverse page is upside down when using the calenda
for a Daytimer-type binder.

This didn't happen when printing to a different printer, but OTOH, I a
able to print duplex "side-flip" on the Lexmark in other applications
and in fact other types of Outlook calendars (e.g., daily). I have trie
the setting as "2-sided on" as well as "use printer settings" but th
result is the same.

Lexmark tech support of course insists that it is a MS issue, which i
may or may not be. So my questions are:


- Can anyone figure out why this is happening and come up with a fi
or a good work-around?
- Alternatively, can anyone point out a good app that will print
Daytimer-type calendar from one's Outlook (2003) data?


-What won't work:-
I could do manual duplex, but that not only takes more time but woul
tick me off every time I did it, since I got this duplex printe
precisely for this purpose. Printing to PDF first doesn't work becaus
it won't paginate as a booklet if it's printing to PDF. And I can't cu
the sheets in half first (to 5½ x 8½), becasue the printer can onl
duplex letter size or A4.

Thanks for any help on this.

Do you have all updates installed? Would the printout be correct if this
page was page 2?
