Hi! I'd like to print a booklet. The document source is in A4 size, the printer can handle A4 and A3 paper with automatic duplex, but it doesn't work.

* I am using Windows XP.
* I have downloaded the Adobe Universal PostScript Windows Driver Installer 1.0.6.
* I have installed it with the the manufacturer's PPD-file. The printer is the "Oce Vario Print 2060" which is a copy machine connected to the network.
* I have configured the printer correctly (specified the paper size for each tray etc.)
* Then I select the booklet option and the symbolic preview shows a nice booklet. But the result is ordinary double sided A4 printing with one document page per paper side, and not a booklet layout.

I haven't found any option to specify the paper size. If I want to get a booklet in A4 size then A3 paper has to be used. If I want an A5 booklet, A4 paper has to be used.

I tried the same with another printer (Minolta QMS 9100) an I had the same result, just normal double sided printing.

How is that supposed to work?
Thanks for help,
Hartmut
