Double-sided printers tend to have a dim view towards this approach, too. Just want to mention this, recently having disassembled a Laserjet2300DTN in order to replace decomposed solenoid padding with felt pads so that it's good for longer runs of double-sided printing again. It's actually a nice music printer, doing black double-sided printing on a remarkably margin-less area. And the network interface makes it pretty fast, too. -- David Kastrup
