I don't know what the problem is, but if you're actually doing business, you should get XP up to SP3. re the non-print of the second side: Is that the odd or even pages? Whichever it is, can you tell it to print all that one side, flip the paper over and refeed, printing the other side? I'm assuming you have a printer that prints on both sides automatcally? It almost sounds like a driver problem than it does anything else so perhaps a driver reinstall or update for the printer? I'm assuming you have a printer that prints on both sides automatcally? More information would probably help here.
