What about double-sided printing for Mac? I can manage that with PAGE SETUP but I don’t see a Mac option under SET PRINT OPTION. Any ideas? I was in the process of converting everything over to SET PRINT OPTION and now it looks like I need to maintain both mechanisms since PAGE SETUP still appears to be working fine on Mac.
Also a little annoying that paper names differ between OSs. I have to set “Legal” on Windows and “US Legal” on Mac. Printing has always had it’s set of challenges but this seems like more of a mess than it has been for a while. Interesting that you’ve said you had to have a Windows form and a MacOS form. I never have, but maybe that’s why the Windows side is failing now.
