Quinn,

I've never done duplex printing, but I ran into the most interesting hint on the ProFox list just this afternoon. Hope he doesn't mind me reposting:

I am / have been printing duplex reports on HP printers ........

It took a chunk of time way back when (FPW 2.6A) to figure out how to do
it.
I don't know the "official" solution ..... but what worked for me was to
change the report page size to 8.5 X 22 inches....
(8.5" x 11" title band and 8.5" x 11" page footer - nothing in detail
band... I tend to print odd reports from arrays, not directly from tables)

... believe it or not... it worked and still works in VFP6.

>I need to print a 2 page form on our color laser jet. The forms are completely coded using API calls. I call the printer sys(1037) and set the duplex on. Close the dialog box and set the printer using lcprinter = set("PRINTER",3). Then I test for the printer to be set for duplex using lcduplex = prtinfo(10,lcprinter). The value of lcduplex is always 1(simplex). What am I doing wrong that I am not getting the printer to set in duplex mode?
