Re: [libreoffice-users] Printing Multiple Copies Duplex

I run Ubuntu and for whatever reason, I never could get Duplex to work 
for my Epson Artisan 810 printer.  What I did way print the document out 
to a PDF file, then use the PDF viewer to print to the Artisan printer 
using the duplex option.  I still cannot get it to work with 3.4.4.

So my only option is to do the printing to PDF and then print the 
duplexed option using the PDF file.
Actually it is good to have a PDF copy of the file.  It is a good way to 
archive the document.

I use both the Export to PDF and a suparate PDF printer.  "Cups PDF" for 
Ubuntu and "doPDF" for Windows.  Export to PDF does not print out all of 
the fancy and specialized fonts I tend to use.  For your case, it would 
be special music related fonts.  I assume you are showing musical 
notation on your song sheets.  If you use special fonts for those 
sheets, Export to PDF might not print the sheets the way you want them.
