Printing on Both Side?

Ever since I upgraded to Snow Leopard, I can't find an option to print on both sides. I use this feature a lot in order to save paper. Where is it exactly in the print dialogue?

Duplex printing is a function of the printer's driver software which
supplies such options to the print dialog. It has nothing to do with the
program you're printing from. It sounds like you may not have a printer
driver that's been updated for Snow Leopard. Check the mfr's web site.

Well, yes, the printer driver does do 2-side printing. My printer is HP OfficeJet 7310 AiO; the driver was included in the Snow Leopard update. Two-Sided checkbox shows up next to Collated checkbox in Preview, FireFox, Thunderbird, OmniFocus, and even Open Office. It is completely missing in Word - only the Collated checkbox is displaying in the print dialog. I had to convert the .doc into PDF and reopen in Preview so I could take advantage of Two-Sided option in the print dialog.

Yeah, Word doesn't have its own Printing dialog. The dialog you are seeing
comes from the OS X Printing Subsystem.

You need to drop down the unlabelled box that says "Copies and Pages" to see
the "Layout" tab.

Cheers
