I am trying to print a price list using both sides of the page. I searched this site and found out that to print a grid to fit the whole page you can use a MDI child form and use printform (works great), but not much info on duplex printing. The page (8.5 x 11) has some text labels and an image box at the top, and the rest is a grid (farpoint spread 3.5). The only thing I know is to use Printer.Duplex = 2, and the printer does duplex (just tested it with a pdf in IE). How can I do this?

Your Printer may need to be set to print duplex if it does not do so by default. When you click PRINT, do into your printer settings, and see if you can find anything there.
I also have a Duplex-Compatible printer (Really a Minolta BizHub Photcopier/scanner/printer). Often times, regardless of the code or the printer setting I will get a simplex printout. Sometimes the machine just doesnt feel like doing what I ask
Yet oddly, sometimes it does.
