I'm looking for recommendations for a laser printer which will cope
with double sided A5 100 gram paper (for printing ring-bound manuals).
Paper might actually be wider than real A5 (making cutting A4 in half
not possible), but its height will not exceed the width of A4.
We will get paper pre-cut probably, rather than doing that ourselves,
so the printer will have to cope with the target size, rather than
cutting paper down afterwards.

The only experience I have with double sided printing was an HP4si
with duplexer, but I no longer have access to one to try this out.
Would this cope? (I never tried it with anything smaller than A4,
or 100 gram paper.)

Documents are all black-and-White only, generated in Word for Windows.

Are there any other pitfalls?

Thanks
