RE: [libreoffice-users] Printing Multiple Copies Duplex

Hi,

I had the same problem recently. Or at least I think so. Correct me if I've
misunderstood your problem.

Only way I got around it was to create a second page on my document which
was an exact copy of the first page and then select print 2 copies and print
duplex. And selecting combine print jobs made no difference

It works but I'd also like to know if there is a better way because every
time I make a modification I have to do it to both pages.

It would be much better to be able to send 2 copies of one page to the
printer and get it to print duplex that is one copy on each side of the
paper.

Subject: [libreoffice-users] Printing Multiple Copies Duplex

Hi list members.

I'm having trouble doing something that used to be easy and automatic.

I need to print multiple song sheets. They are in two columns printed
landscape. Each song sheet fits onto one A4 page. I print the copies back to
back then cut pages in half, giving me two sheets of A5 each containing
identical content.

In previous versions of LO this was straight forward. Set the number of
copies, set to print duplex.

In 3.4.4 I am finding that it sends each page out as a separate print job
even when I select the option to combine into a single job (under the
Options tab in the print dialog- it used to be under
Tools-Options-General-Print, I think). It happily "prints" a second blank
page on the back of the first so I get exactly what I don't want.

I also make sure that the option for printing extra blank pages is not
selected.

I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 if that helps.
