We want to be able to print the first page on both sides, to letterhead paper.  But then want the following 9 pages to print to plain paper (10 total pages).  We have the plain paper in tray 4/5, and the letterhead paper in tray 2.  However, I just want to make a printing shortcut for this.  I do not want to do this in Microsoft Word.

You can create shortcuts like this using the printer properties in the Universal Print Driver. However it appears you have to select duplex or not and cannot change for subsequent pages. On your PC go to control panel>devices and printer and then right click the icon for the printer and select printer properties from the dropdown menu.

Then click on print preferences

Then click on the paper quality setting tab and click under the special pages click settings

Select the paper type and source for each page and click add, when finished go back to the Printing shortcuts tab

Click save as and give the shortcut a name, You can also change finishing options as they will be saved and used with the Shortcut when you select it when printing.

I just want to clarify if this is what you meant... so I can not print the first page on both sides and then have the rest be one-sided?
