How to create a flipbook using a duplex printer

[Guest]

I would like to print a report as a flip book.
I have an HP4100 printer.
The report orientation is landscape
I have set the duplex attribute as follows
Reports![Driver Day List].Printer.Duplex = acPRDPHorizontal
This prints the report on both sides of the paper, however the second page
is upside down. I need to set the Binding attribute to Long Edge so that when
I flip the page the second page is right side up. How can I set the Binding
option programatically?

Cansoft:

There's really no way to do this with any ease at all. The binding edge
attribute is an extended printer property that is buried within what is
called the devmode options (dev mode stands for device mode) which are part
of the .prtDevMode property of a report. Only HP knows really where in the
devmode that setting is set so its pretty difficult to program.

If you need a way to output this easily, you might want to take a look at
Blue Squirel Software's Click Books utility for booklet creation.
