I got one of those ultra-cheap inkjets a couple of years ago and rather 
surprisingly that can do duplex - I still haven't quite worked out how it 
manages to do it in such a tiny package.

Yeh I remember doing that, you have to make sure you put the stack of paper 
back in the right way around, in the right order, and the right way up too.

MS Word offers it too AFAIK.  Programs that don't offer it usually allow you 
to type in a page range, for longer documents you could automatically 
generate a string like 1,3,5,7,9,... using your favourite method :-)
