In there, you should see an option for Duplex Unit (if your printer supports it).

If that is checked, you can use the automatic double-side printing (by checking the Two-sided box next to Copies ).

To print double side manually, select Odd Only first and when it finishes printing, flip the pages over and select Even Only.

With this, you can then choose Reverse in Page Order to print the even numbered pages backwards.

Note: be careful that if you have an odd-number of pages in total, you might have to leave the last one out before printing the even ones.).

Anyway, I could do everything you suggested, except that when I use the drop-down print from Safari, the document is not read by the system.

So, although I can check two-sided, nothing shows in the preview window and nothing prints.

While Previewing the file, I got a blank sheet as well from either Firefox and Safari from both My PC and my Mac, however it seems fine by using CTRLP to launch the print dialog.

Otherwise, you may also try saiving the file to your desktop.

Open it using Adobe Reader and try printing from the instead of using the browser.

I could not see any similar issues by using Google Chrome, so it might worth a try as well.

I will accept this as the solution because all your suggestions were good, although the problem is not solved.

The same also appeared for me with multiple browsers using several PDF plugins (Adobe Reader, Foxit Reader and Apple Preview).

As I could not see any similar behavior with several PDFs i tried, I guess it is an issue with the specific file.

Since we print MANY long documents that would be much better two-sided, Im going to keep pursuing this.
