Hi everyone,

I have a weird problem when printing twoside: the sides would come out
slightly (3-4 mm) unaligned, i.e. there seems to be a greater \voffset in
odd pages than in even and it is apparent from the page headings. I
believe this is a printer problem, indeed when printing one odd page and
putting manually the page into the paperfeed again, the even page is
printed exactly aligned.

I'm not going to print all odd pages and manually feed the even sides (I
have to print several copies of the document), I'd rather be satisfied
with a latex command that uses different \voffset (or \topmargin) for even
and odd pages, just as \evensidemargin and \oddsidemargin.

Any idea?

Pietro

  Why do they put Braille on the drive-through bank machines?

I would print the whole thing one-sided and let a photocopier make 
two-sided copies from a one-sided original.
