    Force doule-sided printing with VBA

    I have a sheet with between 50 and 90 pages (varies daily) that is formatted to print double sided, and am looking for a way to ensure the settings stay on double sided. It seems to work find temporarily...when I set it manually it will print properly, then it stops one day and prints 70 individual pages instead of 35 double-sided pages. I'm guessing that happens when someone tries to manually print just one page instead of using the macro. Anyway...here is what I am using:

    This is a printer option, hit CTRL + P and then click Printer Properties. If your printer supports double sided, then it will be an option. it should default to that once the change is made.

    Right, but it does not stay as default because someone is printing individual pages from the sheet instead of using the macros I have in place, which changes the default back to single-sided. What I need is a line of code to force double-sided each time the macro is run to ensure the settings are correct...but I have not been able to find anything :\
