Printing a booklet?

[CEC]

I have a new HP photosmart C4280 printer. I am trying to print a 12 page booklet using Microosft Publisher.
On my old printer it would print three pages and then you could put the pages back into the printer and it would print the other side, and you would have a booklet.
This one just prints six pages with two pages on each A4 piece of paper.
My page set up is Landscape and to print Booklet.
On the print properties I have 2sided duplex and for the print both sides that is set to manual.
Can anyone please tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks

why not only put 3 sheets of paper in the printer so it runs out paper and you can reload the same 3 back in.

Do you know I never even thought of that. This has been driving me mad and your answer is so obvious.
Thank you very much.

"On the print properties I have 2 sided duplex"
I think this is the cause of the problem. Your printer cannot print duplex.

It's a pain... which version of publisher?
centre fold?
the 2007 version is much better - there is a wizard the hardest part is working out which way up to put it back in
(do help on double sided printing - no duplex for an easy to follow step by step)

for 2003
with just 4 sides it's a doddle just print page 1
(take the "print as booklet" option - which prints 1+4 reinsert
then do it again with page 2 (+3).

with 12 pages ... the easiest way is to use a photocopier

the other way is to split the booklet into 3 seperate pamphlets
pages 1, 2, 11, 12
3,4, 9, 10
5, 6, 7, 8
phew!

Thank you all,
I think the duplex was the problem, I switched it off. It took me several goes but I eventually got my booklet. I have written the instructions down now, so hopefully come the next time it will be a doddle?????????

have you printed the instructions in a booklet!!!

No I haven't. I've written in a book, but I get the picture.......
