automatically print 2-sided?

's Computer Specifications

I would like to setup my word document to automatically print 2-sided when
ever it is printed, by whom ever prints it. I have a document that is printed
often by others, I just want it 2-sided to save paper.

There's really no way to do this, as the duplex setting must be made in the
printer Properties. Even a macro (if users were willing to run a macro)
would not help, as it would have to specify the printer, and you have no way
of knowing that.

I don't think you can do that. What if I want to print it and don't have a
duplex printer?
