Jump to PostGo to the Print dialog (I believe cmd-P), go to Presets, then Layout, and then choose one of the two options (long-edge/short-edge). Assuming your printer supports double-sided printing, it should work.

Hello coil.
No, afraid not, not for me anyway. When I go to the print dialog then Presets ( which is the one below the name of the printer) I get
Standard
Last used settings
Save
Save as
Rename
Delete
I have Snow Leopard if that means anything. I don't see a "Layout" on the drop down any where.
One other thing, and you can tell me to mind my own business if you wish, what is a "Junior Poster in Training? d.

Oh haha that really doesn't mean anything. Basically, the forum has different titles for you depending on your post count. I think at 20 posts or 25 your title changes from Newbie Poster.

Hi coil.
Well, I have i got a right one here. Got the drop down as you directed but there was nothing obvious but, down towards the bottom there was a box with the word "Safari" in it and an arrow on the right for a drop down, did that and this is what I got.
Layout
Colour Matching
Paper Handling
Cover Page
Scheduler
Below all these but, all crossed out are.
Quality Media071200a
Colour Options071200a
Special Effects071200a
Borderless Print071200a
Duplex Print071200a
When I clicked on Duplex Print this is what came up.
The Bundle "Duplex Print071200a" couldn't be loaded because it doesn't contain a version for the current architecture .
Contact the bundle's creator listed here for the latest version.
DuplexPrint071200a version 7.12.0 copyright Canon Inc 2001-2008 All
7.12.0
When I clicked on any of the items that were crossed out each one gave the same answer.
What one might call, food for thought. d.

I think what it's trying to tell you is that your printer software for duplex printing doesn't work on Snow Leopard.
Try doing a search for the latest drivers from your printer's manufacturer and installing them.
