WinXP ; How to transform multiples Prints into one ?

Archived from groups: comp.periphs.printers (More info?)

Hello everybody.
First, sorry for my poor english.

Do you know how I can change multiple printing works into one. Let me
explain with an example :
I have a printer with double sided printing option. If I print four
different 1-sided documents, the printer will deliver 4 sheets printed on
one side.

Is there a way to force the printer or the spooler to give me the 4
documents on 2 sheets printed on the 2 sides ?


Thanks for your responses.

If the printer driver supports double sided printing, then you can set the
print to always print double sided via that printers and faxes options. You
can also set such a printer via the printing preferences options.

Even if I set my printer in double-sided, I pause the printer, and I print
for example one one-sided sheet from word, then one one-sided sheet from
excel ; when I'll un-pause the printer, there will still be 2 sheets
printed, one document on each, single sided. I cannot find anywhere an
option saying 'treat all documents in the pile as if it where one'.
Any idea ?
