' SetPrinterDuplex.
'
' Set the Duplex flag for the specified default properties
' of the printer driver.
'
' Returns: True on success and False on error. An error also
' displays a message box. This message box is displayed for information
' only. You must modify the code to support better error
' handling in your production application.
'
' Parameters:
' sPrinterName - The name of the printer to be used.
'
' nDuplexSetting - One of the following standard settings:
' 1 = None
' 2 = Duplex on long edge (book)
' 3 = Duplex on short edge (legal)
