Printing a small publication

[JorgenNM]

I am using Publisher 2000.
I have made a small publication consisting of 8 pages size A5.
Now I want to print say 3 copies of the publication
I have a standard Minolta Magicolor 2430 laser printer, which can only print
on one side of the A4 paper (no duplex printing)
When I select page 1 and CtrlP, Active page, 3 copies, uncheck sets (I do
not know the English term, but I get all page 1 and then all page 2 etc.) and
finally OK, the printer prints 3 sheet with page 1 and page 8. (side by side
filling the A4 sheet)
Now I want to print pages 2 and 7 on the other side of page 1 and 8 by
inserting the prints face down and page 8 first in the bin.
When I select page 2 and CtrlP, Active page, 3 copies, uncheck sets, and
finally OK, the printer prints a total of 6 sheets:
1 sheet prints page 2 on the back of page 1, and page 7 on the back of page
8. Which is OK
2 sheet prints page 6 on the back of page 1, and page 3 on the back of page
8. Which is wrong
3 sheet prints page 2 on the back of page 1, and page 7 on the back of page
8. Which is OK
4 sheet prints page 3 and page 6 on a blank sheet, which is OK for the next
go sequence of printing.
5 sheet prints page 2 and page 7 on a blank sheet, which is wrong
6 sheet prints page 3 and page 6 on a blank sheet, which is OK for the next
go sequence of printing.

I think I have tried every possible setting, but no usable result.

Thanks in advance

Jorgen

Are you setting this up as a booklet to begin with? When you setup your page,
special fold, booklet, Publisher will print your publication correctly.

If you setup your publication as a booklet, this is the method:

Turn off two page spread (view menu)

Start with page one, print, current page, 3 copies, click no to the query.
Turn the page over, go to page two, repeat step the above.
Page three, print, current page, 3 copies, click no to the query.
Turn the page over, go to page four, repeat the step above.

and so on...
