I have a new Lexmark Pro805 printer. When trying to print a WEEKLY STYLE
(2 pgs/wk) calendar in duplex mode (as half-sheet booklet), Outlook
[2003] insists that it print as "top-flip" (as the Lexmark dialog box
calls it), i.e, the reverse page is upside down when using the calendar
for a Daytimer-type binder.
This did not happen when printing to a different printer, but OTOH, I am
able to print duplex "side-flip" on the Lexmark in other applications,
and in fact other types of Outlook calendars (e.g., daily). I have tried
the setting as "2-sided on" as well as "use printer settings" but the
result is the same.
Lexmark tech support of course insists that it is a MS issue, which it
may or may not be. So my questions are:
- Can anyone figure out why this is happening and come up with a fix
or a good work-around?
- Alternatively, can anyone point out a good app that will print a
Daytimer-type calendar from one's Outlook (2003) data?
-What will not work:-
I could do manual duplex, but that not only takes more time but would
tick me off every time I did it, since I got this duplex printer
precisely for this purpose. Printing to PDF first does not work because
it will not paginate as a booklet if it is printing to PDF. And I cannot cut
the sheets in half first (to 5½ x 8½), becasue the printer can only
duplex letter size or A4.
Thanks for any help on this.
