I never noticed this before, so it might be "just the way it works", or it
might be a glitch due to a recent print-server consolidation that the IT
guys performed here.
So, I needed several copies of a five-page Word document. I said "Print" and
I selected Canon color printer, duplex (top-to-top), and bumped the copy
count up to 5.
Page 1 of the second copy was printed on the back of page 5 of the first
copy, and so on. That made it a little hard to hand them out at the
meeting...
The easy work-arounds are either to insert an additional page break, to make
it an even-number-page document, or to just make five separate print
requests.
But, really, is that how I should expect it to work, or is this a minor
screw-up? I didn't see any printer setting that looked applicable, though
that doesn't mean it's not there, somewhere . . .
Previously all my multiple-copy printing may have been from even-page PDFs,
so this never came up. . . or it's new behavior. Hm?
