A trick I learnt about a while ago may be useful - I'll try
and describe it here, but I may not completely succeed - you need to
try it it see it work...

First - print out a copy of all your pages 1,2,3..n 
Second - re-arrange the pages in order 2,1, 4,3, 6,5, 8,7, ..  n,n-1 
		(i.e. swap each pair of pages round )
Finally - place the pages bak in the printer face down, and print
pages 1..n again on the blank sides.

You now have 2 double sided copies of your original document!

Hope this is of some use, as it certainly avoids a lot of programming,
but unfortunately can be a pain for large documents - arrange yourself
at a large clear desk and work from a source to destination pile - and
try not to get distracted by people asking what the heck you are
doing!
