  • all the public printers can duplex (two sided) except lw4 (the second floor printer).
  • If you want to have duplex printing as default, choose from the print dialogue 
    File -> Print Layout -> Two Sided | Long-Edge Binding -> Presets: Save As: Duplex.
  • If you want to switch duplexing on and off on a per-job basis, via the following steps: (using Preview as the example program)

  • Where did the printing options dialog go in Leopard? It is hidden behind the triangle near the printer name. Look at the bottom of this page.
