Hi :) True :)) You have to do a quick test run with 1 or 2 pages just to make sure which way you have to put the paper back in just in case your printer is weird. Also make sure that no-one else prints to 'your' printer when you are doing the "even" pages. I have been in quite a few offices where people would delight in saving-up their print-jobs until someone tried doing something like this purely in order to create confusion and make a fuss. Regards from Tom :)

Being an "ex-Printer man" for one of the large Printer Manufactures I have to point out the following, (which over the years I have found very few users know about). You do _NOT_ need a more expensive Duplex Printer to produce Double-sided printouts!! Almost all print routines have the option to control what prints out in any print job. So ...... First set-up your print job to print 'Odd pages only'; Take these pages, turn them over and put them back into the paper tray; Now set-up the print job to print 'Even pages only'. And there you have it - A Double-sided printout from a single page printer!! Easy.
