I honestly believe though that even if you have software that double
prints your printer needs to be able to do it, I am understanding that
you want to double print, I would like to know to for environmental
reasons, because what I do now is just turn it over...

can you instruct your printer to do both sides, ours does not do
this...

this might help you, you mentioned odd numbers, and about numbers
right?

What if Odd/Even Number Page Printing is Unavailable
Unfortunately, at least in M$ Windows 2k, printing just odd or just
even page is not part of the operating system or basic printer driver
but specific to each application, e.g. M$ Word 2k & Open Office 2 have
it but Notepad 5 & Internet 6 do not.

Here are some workarounds that might be worth trying:

•If the application print dialogue contains the option to print a
selection of pages, just put "1,3,5,7" etc. in that box, print &
repeat with "2,4,6,8" etc.. If you need a list of the first thousand
page numbers divided into odd & even comma separated lists for
convenience, here they are: odd numbers;even numbers.
•2. Convert it to PDF. I've read, but not tested, that the Acrobat
Reader 8.1 has the option to print odd & even pages separately.
•3. Alternatively show the navigation pane in Acrobat Reader, resize
the thumbnails so exactly 2 columns fit in and drag select the whole
of one column then print that selection.

Now I have never used this method, but when you hit print, you see
properties, does it come up about fliping? fliping on long and short
edge? I have never done that...
