When you do 2-up, the upstream ps2ps or such is re-formatting the page and must be placing all printable data inside the physical constraints. To keep 1/8 inch top and bottom margin and still print on both sides, you would have to do manul duplexing. From your app, select print odd pages only, reload the paper with the printed side up and top of the page towards the printer and print even pages. Raghu

The auto duplexing hardware requires a 0.5 in bottom margin. The top side of front page becomes bottom side on the back page (the duplexer rotates page 180 degrees), so, we set both margins to 0.5 in. </quote> My last printer was a 990CXi (now sem-retired), which couldn't print closer then 0.5" anyway, so I used to use that as default. However, when printing a web page I like to keep the url and date, etc., showing in headers and footers. Using 2-up, even duplexed, I had no problems whatsoever, yet for full-page, (duplex set as default) I never could achieve it, no matter what margins I set. Any recommendations?
