Print on both sides of paper from two worksheets
How do I get a printer that will print on both sides of the paper
automatically to do so from two worksheets in the workbook. If I have two pages on the same worksheet it works fine or if I print to a printer that requires the paper to be changed manually it works fine. But it the printer handles the paper automatically it gives me two sheets with the back side blank. Thanks -- SC from Lubbock, Texas |

Print on both sides of paper from two worksheets
Select both sheets at the same time then hit print.
That might work? "SC in Texas" wrote: How do I get a printer that will print on both sides of the paper automatically to do so from two worksheets in the workbook.

If I have two pages on the same worksheet it works fine or if I print to a printer that requires the paper to be changed manually it works fine. But it the printer handles the paper automatically it gives me two sheets with the back side blank. This problem annoys me too. Excel seems to treat sheets as separate documents. The following works for me, but it's awkward. Print each worksheet using the "Microsoft Office Document Image Writer." This produces an ".mdi" file for each worksheet. With both files open, it's possible to copy pages from one into the other, merging the two into one mdi file. Then the merged file can be printed. For somebody doing this a lot, it might be helpful to use third-party software like: http://www.fineprint.com/products/fineprint/index.html |

Print on both sides of paper from two worksheets
I am hoping that there is a way to do the print commands in code on a command
button that will make excel not treet the sheets as separate documents but treat them as one in the print command. With a printer that has to manually be reloaded for the second page it works great but for the automatic ones it treats each sheet as separate documents and not the workbook as a single document print job. Thanks for the reply. It is good to know I am not the only one trying to deal with this. I am trying to set this up as a template for others to use and the multiple steps in your solution would work great for me but not for them.

Print on both sides of paper from two worksheets
If you select more that one sheet simultaneously, the multiple sheets will be
printed as one job. Code like that below will accomplish the task: Sheets(Array("Sheet1, "Sheet2")).Printout Best of luck.

Print on both sides of paper from two worksheets
Tom,
They will be printed simultaneously but Excel treats each Sheet as a separate print job when the printer is printing front and back if the printer does it automatically. If the printer is a manual flip for front and back there is no problem. When it is one that automatically flips the pages, or at least our HP's and our Xerox Document Centre do this, the page flips then comes out without anything printed on the back side, then prints the next workbook sheet the sameway. If the workbook sheet has more than one page of print, it will print front and back until it finishes that workbook sheet and then starts over with the next workbook sheet. I have worked around the problem by recreating my two page form on a single workbook sheet. Would have been simpler if the printers would not see each workbook sheet as a separate job even though they are all in the same print command.

Print on both sides of paper from two worksheets
I just tested it printing to an HP printer.
Sheet1 is selected. Holding the Ctrl or Shift key I selected Sheet2. Now both Sheet1 and Sheet2 are selected. Hit the print button and sheet1 is printed to side A and Sheet2 is printed to side B. Note: Both sheets must have the printer options set to double sided printing. Maybe this time.

Brilliant
Tom,
Thanks for helping on this. My second sheet was at a different orientation and I had tried just about every combination I could think of between my computer and the printer to try and get the two sheets on one double-sided page. The trick was enabling two-sided printing on both sheets separately. Just brilliant.
