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.

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

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

Select both sheets at the same time then hit print.That might work?

This problem annoys me too. Excel seems to treat sheets as separate documents.
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

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
Thanks

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.
Thanks,
Steve
