Heh. *My* laser printer at home doesn't even have a duplexer. If you 
want to do this, you have to ask Acrobat to print the odd-numbered pages 
in reverse order, feed the stack of pages thus generated back into the 
beast, and tell Acrobat to print even-numbered pages in forwards order.

Or is it the other way around? I can never remember...

Notice that *only* Acrobat actually offers the ability to do these 
things, as far as I can tell. If you want to print from some other 
program... good luck!
