Guide to printing double sided manually6/26/2023 To make things easier and more reliable, I wrote a simple Bash script that automates printing duplex. Otherwise, page 4 will print on the back of page 5, page 2 will print on the back of page 3, and nothing gets printed on the back of page 1. Instead, you only want to load pages 1 and 3. But when you reload the printed pages into the printer, you don't want page 5. In a five-page document, you first print pages 1, 3, and 5. Similarly, it's easy to forget how to deal with documents that have an odd number of pages. ![]() Imagine my frustration in those few instances when I forgot to select the option to print in reverse order when printing the even-numbered pages and ruined a long print job. ![]() If I'm printing a four-page document, printing the even-numbered pages in reverse order means page 4 prints on the back of page 3 and page 2 prints on the back of page 1. Regardless of how I print, the overall process is to print the odd-numbered pages, reload the stack of printed pages into the paper tray, then print the even-numbered pages in reverse order.
