No duplexprinting after page 1

Postby Lanzendoerfer » Mon Feb 14, 2005 5:20 pm

I want to print on the first sheet on both side.
The following sheets should be printed on the frontside only.

I tried it with a HP deskjet 960c with duplex unit.

After printing the second on on the first sheet, I set .DevDuplex back to 1.

But all sheets were printed on both sides.

How can I stop duplex printing after Page 1?

Changes this behavior with other printer or drivers?

First of all, you must change the property during processing the BeforePrintNewPage event. Second, your application must return PRINT_ACTION_CHANGE then.

If this doesn't work, your printer driver does not support switching the duplex mode in the middle of a print job. There are plenty of faulty printer drivers out there.
