The reason is that the toner which is used is not very robust, in that when heated again (which happens when you print) it can come off the other side of the paper. This causes a mess to accumulate in your printer, and probably some pretty rude things to happen. Now to address the even/odd stuff, essentially you need to write a postscript filter which extracts every other page. So you would save your WriteNow document to postscript file, run the filters, and then print the two documents with lpr. There is no packaged filter on the NeXT to do this. Someone will probably write one.
