--- Comment #4 from Rob Weir <ro...@apache.org> ---
Tried on AOO 3.4.1 with Windows 7 to an HP LaserJet 400.  It printed two-copies
of a 3 page double-sided document correctly, with the default settings.

Printing double-sided copy involves a complicated negotiation of capabilities
between the application and the printer driver.  The driver tells what its
native capabilities are and the application uses that info to know what it can
depend on the driver to do, versus what the application needs to do manually. 

See, for example, ReverseBandOrderForEvenPages:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff560780%28v=vs.85%29.aspx 

When this breaks down it could be because of a bug in the printer driver, or a
bug in the application.  The fact that other printers work correctly does not
prove that the application logic is bug free.  It could simply be dealing with
a printer of different capabilities.  This will require some debugging to see
which it is.

I'm confirming this report based on Scott's report, though I'm reducing the
priority due to the adequate workaround.
