Callistemon,
can't help you there,maybe some one else can help.
If any one has ANY tips,
don't keep them too yourself about any thing,
pass them on.

Thanks Infoman a lot of us who worked in 'older' offices will know that but could be useful to others. Shame some people don't want to become computer literate just because they are older. I had an aunty who was a brilliant secretary before modern technology, when computers were introduced she finished rather than learn new skills.

Our last couple of printers have had the facility to print both sides of the paper and it was no more expensive than most printers - I did not look for that facility but just found it there. I like printers with separate ink colours rather than one multi colour cartridge.

Thanks, infoman, sorry to hijack your thread, I think I was asking for some tips!

True,took me several sheets to work it out though

Ours prints on both sides.
Sometimes
However, it is very temperamental and often decides not to work, either wirelessly or with a cable.
Then, after a week or so of this, it will suddenly decide to oblige, then goes off in a sulk again.

Yes I always do that but make sure you put the paper back in the right way round grin

Whilst working.
In my work place and if we had to copy a two page document the copy/printer could print on both sides,using just one sheet of paper.
Promised myself I would buy one for home use.
Cost presented me from buying one,so here is what I did.
If its a two page document,put just sheet in the paper tray,and press print.
Then take the one sheet out,put it back in the paper tray,and press the green start button
In my printer if I put the one sheet in with the print facing upwards and upside down and press the start button.
You get a two page document on one sheet.
Hope my tip might help a few members.
